Hales put a lot of pressure on England after they was sailing!


Buttler looking as awesome as usual

And ow England lose 3 for one run

Morgan went one early to try and catch up ground lost. Skies one.

Bairstow walks passed one.

Root(probably the better choice early to concentrate on getting Buttler on strike) set off for his one without hitting the ball.




And Ali played a shot I expect a 2nd team tail ended to play...... not going well this but we can bounce back!

Oh dear, the mystery spinner runs through the middle order. Root and bairstow completely clueless.

All down to buttler

Jos as only faced 42 balls in  17 overs
England  will struggle to get 150

5 wickets for the youngster. Turned the game on it’s head

Bowled quite beautifully - made Bairstow, who is batting like he is facing a bowling machine on an ironing board, look like a third XI duffer.

All this talk about Kohli and his 'unfinished business' in England, forget about him. This lad Rahul is something else. What an extraordinary batsman.

The unfinished business if Varat scores big  conquers England wins in all formats his the worlds best player status will be beyond question.

Kohli is very good, if you watch some of his recent  interviews you realize how much he has matured which is pleasing to see and makes the on-field behaviour a bit more tolerable, but he does have score here in England.

KL Rahul is special to watch, people kept going on about Yuvi and then Rohit but Rahul is miles ahead of them in all formats. I hope he does well.

TBH winning any requisite series should be more important than whether Kohli can bury his demons. I'd be happy if Root averages 5 in the Test series but we still win

Second T20 Moeen not playing Ball and Jordon balling to short at Raina

Post by: Timbo287 on July 06, 2018, 06:11:33 PM
Inexperience showing from jake ball. The last over of the innings and everything was pitched short which allowed India to get up to 148 should have been around 140

Beat me to it poor last off from Ball but England  have  to score a getable 149
Title: Re: England v India T20 series
Post by: Seniorplayer on July 06, 2018, 06:43:00 PM
Englad must think 149 is very getable  Roots in at 3

Root's a passenger in the T20 side. No place for him when Stokes returns

Tend to agree  but think it will be Moeen or Hales who's left out wouldn't pick Jordon either

That 6 ends it. Good knock by hales
Title: Re: England v India T20 series
Post by: smilley792 on July 06, 2018, 08:07:49 PM
Good game that. Love a close low scoring game.


Huge six from the goon when the pressure was on!

Great game that. Hales continues to get important runs, credit to him.

Root dropped as Stokes returns.

India drop Kuldeep and Bhuvi is injured. Chahar debuts and Kaul plays
Title: Re: England v India T20 series
Post by: rickjames on July 08, 2018, 12:38:38 PM
Is it me or is this now the beginning of Root being phased out of the T20 side?
Title: Re: England v India T20 series

Root needs to have a look at Williamson and how he reinvented himself at this years IPL.
Title: Re: England v India T20 series

England 50 off 4.3 overs

Could be wrong but don't think there will be many England players At the IPL as they will be pushing for World Cup selection.

Some catch that  by Jordon
Title: Re: England v India T20 series

Easy chase for India, 198 was never enough with a 60m boundary.

Title: Re: England v India T20 series
Post by: Mister Le Chiffre on July 08, 2018, 04:26:55 PM
Absolutely outclassed. There's a gulf in class with the batting. We have one dimensional hitters whereas India having proven batsmen in all formats

These T20 games have confirmed that Jake Ball simply isn't good enough for International Cricket.
Send him back to Notts and leave him there!
Title: Re: England v India T20 series
Post by: ppccopener on July 08, 2018, 05:42:28 PM
India played really well if the one day series is half as good we are in for a treat

With stokes back you would think Ball might miss out in the one day team. Root will play those games.

Ball always seems to be the one targeted, I've seen him bowl live he has height pace and bounce but looks not quite good enough every time
Title: Re: England v India T20 series
Post by: Seniorplayer on July 08, 2018, 06:17:09 PM
England a batsman down Jordon Willey  and Plunkett not up to it with the bat England lost it in the 17 and 18 when 36 runs we're scored.
Ball not good enough.

Never thought he was more than a County bowler to be honest!  Agree with you.

Faced him when he was at Wokingham - had the technique not the pace.  When he gained the latter, it seemed a certainty - he was awesome for Notts two years back.  Injury has really not helped, nor has the way being on the fringes of the England team kills your rhythm.

Spin departments also an issue. Rashid and Ali might have picked up wickets against a toothless Aussie side but shown no threat so far.

Time to prepare some more green tops like they use to

Anything but a road and England’s white ball teams are done for... they are hitters so if you make it move they’ll be skittled. Just accept this brand of Cricket is hit and miss

It is a mystery how Ball keeps getting opportunities to play for England across all formats.
