Finally some proper cricket. Two class teams playing each other after all this t20 and playing against the English crap.

Starts tomorrow.
 
India are playing against the side bested by England in the summer are they?

Reasonable sub standard fayre to watch in the absence of anything else I guess

Actually, this is ODIs. England lost 6-1 to Australia only a month ago.
 
Are my deceiving me or does this pitch have superb pace and bounce? This game is surely not taking place in India.
 
Not knee-jerk, but I really think Sachin should come 1 down with Gambhir opening with Sehwag. They're very good playing together for Delhi and for India in tests and ODIs when Sachin's out.
 
I was going to watch this but the prospect of hacking my own balls off with a bit of broken fence paling proved too compelling.
 
What the feck was Jadeja doing when he got run out? He saw the fielder pick up the ball and still continued going forward instead of tracking back. Is he fecking retarded?

It is by far the stupidest dismissal I've seen for a long time. My Dad, who was watching with me, cursed really loudly until he turned around to see the rest of the household staring at him. Haven't celebrated an Aussie win like this in long after the last run out.
 
Your Dad was cursing an Indian dismissal? What country are you from?
 
I dont see what this Jadeja is doing in the team. What is he supposed to be good at? And is this really the best bowling lineup we can come up with? I thought Munaf was finished and now he's suddenly back in the team. Nehra comes back after god knows how long, does well in a couple of games and suddenly he's leading our attack. We should be hammering this Aussie side.
 

:confused: I've done so for over a decade now. Faced alot of flak. Especially when I went to watch a live match.

I'm hardly nationalistic when it comes to sports.

Jadeja is a good batsman. Just doesn't have a good brain on that head of his. Can contribute well with the bat and the ball. And tbh was doing well until the run out. the thing India lacks is a finisher. With Dhoni going up the order, there is a lack of a finisher.

Nehra is a rubbish bowler. Always has been apart from a few matches at the 2003 WC. But Zaheer being injured, he seems to have become a mainstay.

And yes, India should be hammering this side. Were doing so today until 10 minutes of spasticness by Raina and Jadeja. And Sachin getting himself out.

Jadeja bowls well. Left arm and keeps it very, very tight -- you'll know what I mean if you see him bowl 10 overs.. bang on target always and economical.

And sort of.. Zaheer in for Munaf would make it our best possible bowling line-up with Ishant sitting out because he's become shit. There's a guy on the bench named Sudeep Tyagi who is potentially really good. Picked in the squad for the first time and hasn't played a match yet. Comfortably better than Munaf.
