England v India - 2nd ODI

It seems no one is interested to open thread for 2nd one :slight_smile: so i am taking opportunity to open it.
Seamers remove India openers
India 20/2 (5.3 ov)

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

target 286 runs , dhoni will be mom regardless of resut, first to boost his moral , second its his home ground, he scored 72 runs

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

^ Let's be fair. He has been the only consistent batsman for India (along with Raina) in the last few games.

As always 'bechara' Dhoni has to rescue India

And people like Waleed and DA are not prepared to give him his due!

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

^ well wht did I said, I am just enjoying,no doubt he is the only working batsman right now, after Rahul dravid I liked him, I am actually making fun of ppl who decides mom not dhoni plz

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

Dhoni is the saviour of Indian Cricket

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

india should be able to defend 285.

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

it will be tough

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

England 70/2 but their RR is pretty good

Pietersen's wicket is the key

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

If KP stays at the wicket he can win it

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

So looks like most likely 1-1 after this game. Eng. 120/5 RRR above 7.

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

strange batting performance by England

70 odd for 2 after12 overs and going well, then lost wickets in a heap towards the end

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

England have lost 17 of their last 20 ODIs in ENGLAND

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

Will Nixon now similarly accuse England of throwing the match?

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

A relief. Watched match till 170+ for 5. With jadeja at abt 4. Then Internet went down. Woke up to this bizarre score.

Gambhir needs to go. Was uncomfortable before getting out. Ump Steve Davis scares me. England pacers excellent job in India 2 nd batting power play. Frustrated Dhoni esp with balls wide of off stump.

Raina played well twice in row. Yuvi was in good flow till an edged lbw by Mr Davis. ( I know I know the drs rule etc).

When Dhoni puts team first ain't no one better than him in Odi in batting. Sometimes he is mysterious and plods for too long - making easy chase difficult.

Time for pujara to replace Gambhir. Abyssmal (spelling?) footwork.
PS

Swamy Ahmed was the key - he took team to Guruvayur Appa temple on the way to Kochi stadium.

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

Well I’m from Eire so I get to make fun of England now :hypo: Vat istoopid perfarmance!

Re: England v India - 2nd ODI

After today's rare good performance by Jadeja, Dhoni to Jadeja: 'yeh dosti hum nahin torein gey'
