[Eelectrica]

Looks like an easy win for India by 8 wickets in there first T-20 against England.
Bit of a reality check for England. Guess they know they're not playing the minnows anymore.
5 wickets for Yadav broke the back of England.

 

[TheParraboy]

Coming from the IPL helps India , same as us with the tri series last year after the big bash basically or thereabouts

Keen to see how the tests pan out.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

England's lack of class bowlers might get exposed by India in this series.

Moen Ali might be able to destroy minnows like us but Kholi and co are a different level.

 

[TheParraboy]

[Captain BF]

[AlwaysGreen]

India win with 8 balls and 7 wickets in hand.

Rohit Sharma with 100*.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

1st ODI between the big boys.

 

[Bazal]

No Woakes, no England.

Willey just isn't up to the number 8 position...

 

[AlwaysGreen]

England flogged.

England 268. India 2/269 in 40.1 overs, Rohit Sharma 137*

 

[WaznTheGreat]

England flogged which shows even more how bad Australia are LOL

England flogged which shows even more how bad Australia are LOL

We Couldn’t win a Gunnedah maiden atm with Robert Thompson on board.

 

[vvvrulz]

As much as I can't stand the Indian team, I think I like the poms even less.

Good, bring them back down to earth.

 

[Bazal]

Classic selfish Dhoni innings last night, it was so bad the Lords crowd were booing him!

He deadset gave up the chase and decided to have a net (and make sure he got his 10,000th run in the process)...woeful

 

[ANTiLAG]

No Woakes, no England.

Willey just isn't up to the number 8 position...

And yet - he scores 50(31)* to rescue the innings from 6/239 to get to 322 and takes 2/48 (10).

Even for Woakes that would be a good day out. England would certainly be better with Woakes, though.

Defended by kholi who reckons that he batted that way to avoid India being beaten by a bigger margin.

Absolute bullshit.

I remember being at the SCG for the World Cup semi and Dhoni did the same thing.

Bloke is a red ink merchant (even then he f**ked it up). Gotta worry about the stats bro!

 

[Timbo]

I honestly don’t get why Indian fans defend these total merkins with such fervour. They are bad for the game, and bad for Indian cricket.
