England vs India ODI Series

How do you describe that last shot by livingstone for 6. In the mcc manual style ?

and four more. Now that’s don’t give it away and he bloody well does

totally unnecessary shot brain bloody dead
 

.

15 off the over. There was simply no need whatso ever for that final shot

138 for 6
Another halfwit shot
Was brainless. He had 15 already. It’s just pathetic to get out like that. Its simply not acceptable and this new coach has to get that into heads sharpish

148 for 6

And there's some lads on here who want to start playing cricket again who are frightened of making fools of themselves 🤔
 
..

so from some of the worlds best batsmen so far, we have three missing slow straight balls, one missing a half volley straight and another giving a wicket to a ridiculous swipe after 15 already off the over.

the comms saying good bowling. They could be bowling under arm plops and we would be hitting the field

its pathetic. Start calling it comms man. It’s not acceptable
.

this is where central contracts don’t work. We are playing shots without a care in the world. Nobody takes responsibility and hoping the next man in does the job and if they don’t, then so what? Nobody comes into the team unless there is an injury

willey top edge and dropped at fine leg

Lucky man now calm down ffs
Totally agree.

im watching out the innings but imo the games lost already. Bloody annoying this. It’s just been so easy for india and I’m not having the comms saying good bowling.

if straight bowling at different paces is good then fair enough, but our star players are basically gifting wickets for the second game in a row
.

harry back on for india
..

Moeen plants Harry away for Six

Don’t give it away please moeen

175 for 6 36.2

Decent shot willey who was dropped earlier off a top edge

184 for 6 . Can these two bat out

Shot moeen for four
 
10 overs left

Can we get up to 275? Need these two to stay in
.

And moeen hits a truly magnificent 6 leg side off bumrah
 
Willey can bat but he needs to bat through for any chance now

Athers has just said the leg spinner has varied his speeds. Indeed Athers all damn straight balls though

212 for 7 off 42.2

Well the World Cup was won with 240 odd and the drama
..

Chahal 4 for 45 off 10

Never turned the ball at all
..

India four overs off completing their overs on time

Willey puts bumrah away for 6

233 for 7

Carse dismissed to a slow straight ball trying to be clever moving outside the line to swipe it

Overseas coach instruction. Bowl straight and vary the pace

242 for 9 off 48
 
Mr Atherton - India have not bowled strongly today - we have thrown wicket after wicket away - why not be honest. Big bad Bob Willis would not be having this

Exactly. Straight balls of varying pace it’s took at least five of them today

Chahal never turned it an inch

Well it’s a similar score to the World Cup final

245 for 9
