India v England (5 T20s and 3 ODIs) Jan 23 to Feb 12 2024

[Plugger35]

Is he T20 only?

it seems like it.

I think he could play the Tim Bresnan role in the Ashes series next summer.

 

[Plugger35]

Axar getting hold of Bethell off his last ball there, that might be his last over.

Good to see him finally get a haircut though instead of rocking the KP hairdo.

[Plugger35]

That is a shocker all round, a long hop from Livingstone hit straight to the fielder who couldn't get a hand on it, that was a catch.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Gill reviews straight away

 

[Moonwatcher]

lol big inside edge

 

[Moonwatcher]

I'll just confirm that the ball was hit 90 degrees with ultra edge thanks

 

[Plugger35]

Shocking call, big edge on that.

 

[Plugger35]

England going with two slips to the spinners, not a bad idea as they need to take wickets but I think a bat pad might be better.

 

[Plugger35]

Archer back on, last roll of the dice time for England.

 

[Plugger35]

England going to Golden Arm Root, the very last roll of the dice.

 

[NYRB]

KL Rahul batted like a man that was more worried about getting his mate a ton.

England need 5 wickets with 23 runs to defend. The game should never be about milestones over team success, even when the game looks like its over.

 

[Plugger35]

Easy win for India in the end, I get the feeling they care more about this series than England.

They do. And I reckon a 2nd string India team , maybe even a 3rd string could beat them. India made hard work at the end of that chase though.

Easy win for India in the end, I get the feeling they care more about this series than England.

I have my doubts about how much England (men's and women's) teams care about winning and losing at the moment, it seems like it's all about being positive and having a smile on one's face.

 

[NYRB]

Game 2 from Cuttack:

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(c), Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy

England won the toss and elected to bat first.

 

[Ekomaira]

good camera work... dolly dropped, apparently

oh yeah, that's bad

 

[NYRB]

Spin comes on, and immediately England lose a wicket in the 2nd ODI.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Salty

 

[NYRB]

I thought that LBW on Root looked out on first sight, Indians gone up for Video.

 

[NYRB]

Great catch from Shubman Gill and Harry Brook never really looked comfortable. 31 off 52 balls.

 

[MJG14]

What an ordinary innings from Brook

 

[Moonwatcher]

Gill is catching everything not that that one was particularly difficult.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Everyone making starts and not going on with it. Using up balls whilst doing it too.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Rooter still the anchor but both need to go now.
