2nd ODI: England v India at Cardiff

Ah, that's the England I know! WElcome back 

Dafuq though, terrible batting. And bowling wasn't exceptional either - 300+ is not exactly justifiable IMO with good bowling. But yeah was very very gettable still and batsmen didn't even show up.

The frustrating part is that England had put themselves into a decent position. They were 53 without loss after 10 overs, needing 242 more runs to win from 37 overs. From that position, England were bowled out for another 108 runs. Simply inexcusable. The only positives that can be taken from this match were Hales and Woakes.

My XI for the World Cup would be: Hales, Vince, Roy, Root, Morgan, Buttler (wkt), Stokes, Woakes, Broad (c), Anderson, Tredwell.

A ass thwacking for the English players
I would love to share 2 instances here.
1.India won the first test at lords and rest was History..Here too,they have won the first test and just 3 more ODI's to go..What will it be..?


2.CSK players were the highlight of the day
Raina,Dhoni,Jadeja,Ashwin, and even Faf du plessis...
Looks like CSK have already found some form..

bala24, I had recommended Suresh Raina as an interim Captain after Dhoni.

Cant recall your response on the odda thread !

                       

Indians are playing a totally different game when they are in Blue shirts rather than White. Someone should let them play test matches in colors as well.

Yeah..We did discuss the captaincy part,but MSD is a fine skipepr when it comes to ODI's and T20's.i don't want him replaced in that.I needed your stance on a captain in tests.
He looks pathetic in tests.Captaincy..sometimes batting too.he probably has run out of ideas in it.

Congratz to India for the win. Something about the shorter version of the game makes them perform better, although Kholi seemed to be the same. England will look for win tomorrow, and so we can expect a great match from both sides tomorrow.

Go India... I read everyday here how they are getting beaten up by England.  >
