2nd odi eng v ind

no thread bu its dismal. however a couple of things went against england. raina was out lbw on about 15, before making a ton. cook was out lbw to a ball pitched outside leg stump when england were going well no wickets down

 

[Mr Redknapp]

its not proper cricket...

Dhoni himself admitted that ODI's are less taxing, ie easier.

 

[ollie c]

We are better at tests. They focus more on ODIs. Nothing to see and nothing new here...

Cook has to go, that much is obvious. 19 runs from 33 balls these days is f***ing awful. Then to his captaincy...

Earlier he brought Root on, he bowled 3 canny overs for 14 runs, less than 5 an over. Takes him off and never bowls another ball? Meanwhile Stokes and Jordan are going for over 7 an over, with Jordan bowling about 10 wides Exactly half the Indian overs were bowled by spinners and they took 7 wickets. Genius reading of the pitch Cook

Space must be made in the squad for the likes of Jason Roy and James Taylor ASAP. Gurney has to bowl, he's left arm so at least it's a bit of variety. Probably Morgan captain although a bit worried about his form. Taylor straight in as captain would be brave

well that was back to the dark ages. anyone see bell's non shot? rubbish, i would like to know bells average in the last two years worth of odis. surely ballance should be in for bell? he has had his time.

we are so defensive to spin its unreal. these same spinners were hammered in the tests
