1st ODI Jan 15th - 7pm AEDT
2nd ODI Jan 19th - 7pm AEDT
3rd ODI Jan 22nd - 7pm AEDT

Poms might have a chance in this format

Should be a good series. The poms are building well in this format whilst India are always strong especially at home.

Pitches will be flatter than steamrolled pancakes. I tip India just because Kohli looks invincible atm.

 

[Twizzle]

These Indian players dont need passports, they only play at home.

England 1/105 in the 18th

 

[TheParraboy]

Surely this is Dhonis last series?

Came in at 3/57, Out for 6 runs on a road of a deck

Liability now more than anything else

Good win by India to run down 350 easily in the end with 11 balls to spare

 

[JJ]

wow, that was an impressive chase

Didn't you know? Dhoni is one of only two great keeper batsmen in history! He's so great he didn't need to give a stuff about test cricket

Just caught the highlights, weird old match but typical.
Yadav is a little guy and he's hammering sixes like it's nobodies business.
In conditions like this India could have potentially torn apart 400+

Zero in it for the bowlers, but credit to Kohli, bats with some style that guy

India chased down 350 v Australia (to be fair, everyone and their dog chases down huge totals against us in the past decade) a few years back... took them about 41 overs and only lost 2 wickets.
Very, very difficult to defend just about any total over in India, especially with the way Kohli is going.

27 ODI tons already... just insane stats.

Will finish as the best ODI batsman ever by a fair old margin you'd think. He's absolutely outstanding in that format and brilliant to watch.

Yeah people will talk about bats and pitches and grounds but it's still awfully tough to do what he does so consistently

Bats / pitches / grounds will mean he'll smash most cricket records (injury aside), there'll be an extra 10 tons or so over Lara / Tendulkar down to conditions.

But there's no questioning his class, he would make a world ODI XI in any era.

India 3/156 after 29. Kohli out for 8. Yuvraj and dohni doing the damage.

 

[TheParraboy]

India were 3/25 in the 5th over

now 3/261 - 40 overs

Yuvraj 143* (117)
Dhoni 84* (95)

 

[Hutty1986]

When he's on, Yuvraj is just brilliant

 

[TheParraboy]

cant see poms winning this

will be chasing around 380

 

[Tommy Smith]

350 is par these days in ODI cricket lol

Dhoni may be a dud in test cricket but he's the greatest keeper batsman in the history of ODI cricket.

He even leaves Gilly in his wake.

 

[Bazal]

Well, 350 is par on these postage stamps anyway. Dhoni hit one well into the crowd earlier that registered 78m....that'd be a wicket at the MCG!

382 is a bit harder an ask...

 

[Tommy Smith]

204/4 after 31.

Still game on. Buttler is capable of anything on a ground this small.

 

[Tommy Smith]

And as I type that he's out stumped.

Game over.

 

[vvvrulz]

Dhoni also had a genuine leading edge that nearly carried for six.

Its just nuts what ODI cricket has become.
