Bhuvi is a class bowler. Hopefully he stays fit.
England in India 2021

Just catching up with the play today. Bloody hell, England chasing 330 again - groundhog day.
Will depend on whether India bowl us out or not.

If they weren’t trade offs every batsman in the world would score faster than they already do.
feck off England. I had money on them.
Interesting to see how the match goes from now with openers back. Parity - and maybe india slightly ahead. I’ll call an Indian win.
Will be interested to see which batsman has used the most reviews over time
Here's an idea, how about slowing down a bit and trying to reach the target?
Yep, England are gonna get skittled for 100-150.
How can anyone be so unlucky with tosses like manhoos Kohli
2 tosses won in 11
0 tosses won in 5 in the last series in England
It might not matter but catch that and the match is nearly over. Terrible drop.
5 wides already from Natarajan.. in less than 3 overs.. that's nearly an extra over bowled
India's fielding might cost them the match
England should win this, not much bowling outside of Bhuvi.
Silly that from Stokes
Pathetic. What a bottle job.
Yeah, reckon that's game given Buttler's form/relative lack of batting depth
That stokes dismissal sums up the tour for England, lot of really stupid errors in important times
English cricket fans are hilarious. So overreactive. Getting bowled out for 150 apparently today
What a bunch of cnuts
I don't know why Indian supporters were even worried. It's England, we're famous for clutching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Been a bad tour for England.

England were never at the jaws of victory
Pant going to to the stumps to keep Bairstow in his crease was a masterstroke. That's how we got the LBW, and kudos to whoever made that call.
England messed this up at the start , they needed to try & play Bhuvi out .
Apart from the first match in ODI there's not been a match where England has bottled the matchWhat a bunch of cnuts

Undoubtedly a poor tour results wise but I don't think we'll look back on this as a disaster by any means.
Yeh the 'bottling' tag the odd poster has tried to put on England in here is a bit weird.
There's barely been a close match on the whole tour!
One team has steamrolled the other.
I like England's style in ODI but it can also be counterproductive. Chasing 330 everytime won't be easy. You are bound to lose your openers and then you are just going to play catch up. I know we all indian supporters have been asking for our batting approach to change and wonder who should be dropped but it is equally important we sort our bowling especially our spinning department in odis.
It's not this tour in particular, it's England in general.
On our form in this ODI series, the target set should be well within our capabilities. It's the England supporters lot to expect us to mess this up.
The Test Series is the only thing that matters, to me anyway, but at least we had the opportunity here to take something home.
England now close to where India were when they lost 4 wickets... and that was a bad position.. Was rescued by great knocks by Pant and Pandya.
England have a long way to go.

Stating the obvious but gavaskar has to retire from commentating. He didn't realize that was a full toss that got Livingston out. It was painful seeing him realize that on the replay.
Thakur looks a bang average bowler but keeps on picking wickets.
Thakur gets so many wickets of awful balls and it keeps happening again & again . There is no explanation for this
Yeah, their one way approach has cost them twice already. Theres been something in this wicket under lights and England haven't adjusted their style. I hope we see some turning wickets in the T20 WC just to make the matches more interesting.
On our openers and top four, we simply don't need four players playing the same way. Nothing wrong with having two or three but we used to have Sehwag ans Sachin who were fearless at the top, and won us the WC.
Thakur reminds me of Agarkar. Bowls a lot of garbage but that leads to wickets in LOI.
Oh come on Agarkar was very good with the new ball and was able to bowl good outswing . This is just bizzarre
I always felt Agarkar was an underrated bowler but what do I know
From what I remember, he started on fire at the beginning of his career - may still be the quickest to 50 ODI wickets. But he was always going for runs whilst bowling wicket taking deliveries and thats what made him a wonderful ODI bowler. In an era where 250 was a good score, he used always go for 5 runs per over, minimum. Thakur is similar in some ways and but hasn't yet produced the numbers.

Chill man, I didn't say he was as good. Ajit easily remains as one of our best ODI bowlers, IMO.
I will miss this thread even though it's been a horrible tour for England. Saving the wins for important matches I hope
