Title: England vs. India T20
Post by: johan95 on October 29, 2011, 01:13:50 PM
So who's watching this..?

Great start from England, missed the dismissals but  saw a replay of a Kieswetter spectacular.

Any opinions on anything...

Raina to launch a couple like the last one..? :)

No better way to spend a Saturday afternoon and it should be a cracker.
England will struggle batting second but a great start with the bowling

Good counter-attack from India there, not sure how long these 2 batsman will last though..

That was a damn good catch from Hales.

Just seen the replays, how can Kiewswetter hold those and drop easy ones?! :o

Ive found it odd recently that kohli,dhoni,rahane use very average looking Bas gloves as well
Title: Re: England vs. India T20
Post by: johan95 on October 29, 2011, 01:55:56 PM
It's just the sponsorship money that motivates that I'd have thought mate. Maybe they are very comfy though, comfort and feel are what most go on when choosing a glove (I think..), so look doesn't come into it that much.

Key wicket there..! :)

Edit:

Key WICKETS :D

Dhoni's worn that style for years as well and I've never seen Kohli bat in anything else, it just seems odd that these India batsman aren't sponsored by any one company as opposed to Raina Dravid etc. I see Uthappa is sponsored by Kookaburra so are we now likely to see the Indians use Overseas Sponsors?? Surely they make enough from the IPL already Haha

Surely he'll be fined for that - utter stupidity, he was square of the wicket so what does he know..

That sums up Pietersen nicely for me.

Stunning stuff from England. Double wicket maiden from Ravi.

Complete silence inside one of the biggest stadiums in the world

Yeah, I was wondering if many saw that. Why does he care anyway lol..

Haha that's usually me..! ;) - I go by the philosophy if you don't ask you don't get..

eg. the Prior stumping of Sachin Tendulkar at the Oval that wasn't given - only cause he didn't ask!! :(

RavBop seems to like Swanny as captain..I think Swann has captained very well here!

Ravi Bopara is the only English player (that I can see) that has got a T20 100
Title: Re: England vs. India T20
Post by: jw17 on October 29, 2011, 02:51:49 PM
Dont need hundreds!
3 50s are better than 1 100!

CK had been looking at his bat practically the entire innings lol :)

At least ge tried to use his feet so I've not got a problem there give them freedom we were too timid against spin in the odis

Anyone else find it depressing that Pietersen is probably better than all of us left handed?

Ahh yes, Cook had back to back 100's for essex, both not out I believe, Bopara's was also for Essex, don't think there has ever been and International T20 hundred for England

I love the fact that if the umpire gets a decision wrong from an Indian point of view it gets replayed from every angle, pieterson gets a shocker and we get a crappy nearly side on replay and hawk eye being available but not for us to see Laughable such a shame for a great cricketing nation to be run by a bunch of idiots!

What the (No Swearing Please)? Pietersen reprimanded for showing dissent.
To quote cricinfo: "15.5
Raina to Pietersen, OUT, 57.9 mph, he's given him! Pietersen swivelled into a reverse sweep but missed the ball and was struck on the pad. Raina was bowling round the wicket, however, and this looked to have pitched outside leg. But he's got to go, and to his credit he does so without complaining. Is there still hope for India? "
Title: Re: England vs. India T20
Post by: Six Sixes Cricket on October 30, 2011, 12:57:25 PM
Yep, lost 50% of his match fee for laughing and shaking his head. He also pleaded guilty.

Ridiculous, surely the umpire should be fined for giving a wrong decision!
Title: Re: England vs. India T20
Post by: niceonechoppy on October 30, 2011, 01:06:46 PM
That is ludicrous! It was an appalling decision, that umpire was poor throughout - Bopara had Pathan plumb in front of middle, not given! Pietersen IMO showed no dissent other than a shake of the head and a smile, harmless reaction.

That's a complete and utter joke.

He didn't start swearing at the umpire, the laughed at the situation but took the decision and left.

If they were going to fine KP for anything, it should have been for arguing with the umpire in the 1st innings when he didn't give Pathan out when he was plumb.

That umpire was awful, to be fair the umpiring in the series has not been great with a lot of England players seemingly getting triggered.

And then the host broadcaster won't show the replays of those dismissals >:(

Yeah that bit wasn't a surprise, just a general moan. Also, the SL/Pakistan test has had a fair few shockers in it, they're not using DRS there for some reason..

Got to the point where commentators were discussing having the umpires rotate per session! :o

If you are being serious (as opposed to fishing for a bite lol), its down to the host broadcaster and board to pay for it. Hence it should be Pakistan.

No not aimed for a bite. I presumed it was in Sri Lanka. They are broke, they haven't paid there players for months, and owe £14 million to a Chinese construction firm for the stadium used in the world cup.
