England Cricket 2016/17 - Bangladesh, India & West Indies (ODI's only)

Finally kohl gone. Still fancy India to take this
 
What an amazing chase by jadhav. Simply brilliant. Enjoying this as much as Everton! Which one to watch lolz
 
On the subject of shit selections I'm not really sure what Ball is doing in the team over Plunkett but picked up two lucky wickets.
 
Key wickets for England, they will kick themselves if they fail to win after getting India to 63/4
 
Expected that from Jadeja:lol:
Ashwin should easily hang around till the end. Not sure if Pandya will keep his head calm
 
I just don't think our death bowling is very good. Look back to the World T20 when Stokes bowled that diabolical final over against West Indies, that was typical England. It's all well and good putting together good scores, 350 should be enough to win any match, it's up to the bowlers to apply some pressure. At 63-4 any team with aspirations of becoming world number 1 should be wrapping up the match comfortably. Having said that, credit to Kohli who is a quite wonderful batsman, especially when it comes to judging a chase. His record of hunting down totals is fantastic. The key for England in the remainder of the series is to try and make India have a bat first (conditions allowing) and get Kohli out early, not just to restrict the scoring but to silence the crowd.

This is such a good point.. Not many of us worry about a result as long as Kohli is there.. In a way, we have gone back to the times of a young Sachin where the entire crowd would shut up if he got out! But the team is far better supported now, just have to drop Yuvraj..

You can't decide whether to bat or field based on one player man, that will be suicidal. You decide it based on the pitch. If the pitch is flat and you send India in, forget Kohli, everyone else will start smashing the bowlers and finish the game in the first innings. Kohli still averages 83 while batting first since the start of 2016.
 
K.Jadhav batting looks some what similar to J.Miandad,impressive batting.
 
Yuvraj and Dhoni bringing back memories of the 2005 pak series. They saw the Dhoni biopic on hotstar I suppose
 
Our ODI bowling is absolute garbage. I'm not convinced any of Willey, Stokes, or Ball are good enough in this format.

Still India should be targeting 370+ and Yuvi looks good for a double.
