England in India ODI series

[Gandahar]

Good win for them. We did fine but as per the test series they had stars who made the difference.

Sooner or later they will not be able to rely on 1 or 2 players, ok Kohli mainly, making the difference. They will have an off day.

Our performance with the bat was good, bowling needs tightening up, lets see how the next one goes.

[Gargamel]

Missing Broad with ball. Raid and Ali are just not good enough at this level with the ball.

Fair play though India outplayed us today and we played pretty well.

Kohli worlds best at the moment.

[Amirhussain]

Second ODI on today, India struggling at 39-3 and the big fish Kohli has gone.

Couple overs to go India looking at 370+

[Gargamel]

Its a murder scene out there - Dhoni and Yurav going lightsabres.

[maxxy5]

I find this series tedious to be honest, even at 25-3 or whatever nobody really thought India would collapse. This form of the game, over there, is one-dimensional.

[hornetrider]

I looked an hour ago and they were 259 off 40.

We appear to have served up a buffet since then.

[Black can man]

382 to win

[hornetrider]

So. From 208 at 35 overs India have hit 381 after being 25/3. 173 from the last 15.

Clearly the pitch is a belter, I reckon well knock these off in quick time.

Looks like Roy is thinking the same way.....

Sadly Stokes didn't get the memo.

Captain Morgan ? Not sure he has it to go these days, hope he proves me wrong

[hornetrider]

108 from 9 with two hitters settled at the crease. Surely nothing can go wrong from here?

[hornetrider]

Moeen dropped! It's in the stars I tell you.

[BlackLabel]

England almost did it - they were reasonably set with 3 or 4 overs to go. Well played Morgan. Feel sorry for the bowlers on these kind of pitches.

[Gargamel]

yep 747 from 100 overs of cricket... who'd be a bowler?

Fair play Morgan, great reminder of his talent. This India side are a class act, so no shame in losing to them, especially by only 15 runs.

Our one day team have come on hugely since the last world cup. Only a few years ago we'd have lost that by 150 runs

Agreed.

[Amirhussain]

Woakes almost doing Ben Stokes proud in the final over... Exciting finish.
