What an absolutely shocking piece of cricket. What was George Bailey doing!

[Torque]

What hitting from Maxwell!

'Chase is on' - who cares! It's still a boring game when scores are this high. It's not #worldclass players, it's average to poor bowling on super flat tracks with stupidly biased power plays.

I just wish sky wouldn't waste their time showing any game in India, completely pointless. Their bats end up with massively over inflated egos and stats and then Indians claim them 'the best ever' etc. sorry but I take a player avging low 40's in low scoring games over an Indian averaging 700+ on Indian tracks.

It is a shame there is no choice of which games to watch and then sky would see how boring this series is with low viewing figures.

Butcher saying 'dharwan/rohit/kholi haven't made a mistake' -u,m where you not watching just this game when rohit spooned it JUST over mid on, oh when he decided to spoon it up and only just dropped short of mid on, or dharwan top edging. Etc etc


They are mistakes, so to say its faultless and haven't made a mistake is utter crap. They are playing well on flat wickets, against poo international bowlers and getting a way with loose shots.

I don't know what Cricket you have been watching but the 200 Rohit Sharma scored today were in most part proper cricket shots and the two 100s Virat has hit.. how can you or other people say it was not pure cricketing strokes. Haha Average to poor bowling this is the same bowling attack pretty much that won the champions trophy only 6 months ago in English conditions that teams struggled to get us away??

I think a lot of this stems from the fact that apart from KP and Morgan who are both not English could never imagine to bat like this and people are envious of India having the best batting line up in ODI's. Remember we are no1 in world cricket for a reason in ODI Cricket.

I do agree the pitches are flat but you cannot blame the players for this can you.

Haha Dhawan ripping in to a Grumpy Watson how can you not say its not entertaining. If you don't want to watch it you can change the channel I guess.

Jelous of India?? Stop trying to kid yourself mate, you may well be good at hit & giggle cricket, but test matches are where it's all at, and your "best in the world batting lineup" isn't all that in the longer format.

So many anger issues in here it's unbelievable.



Both teams play on the same pitch, so I don't see the issues. Best side should come out on top regardless.

You enjoy big hitting, then watch,
You don't, go watch DIY SOS. Simples.

All about the 165th repeats of Only Fools on G.O.L.D mate, know the script back to front but still more entertaining than this tosh!

I agree on with you on this, you don't need to watch if you are not enjoying it.

No anger issues at all lol, it's just annoying people making comments that are rubbish and probably made by people that have no clue about cricket in reality.

I don't think you're likely to find many people on here with no clue about cricket somehow haha

Flat pitch or not , good batsman standout by the time they have to play. I think Virat , Rohit and Dhawan is supremely talented in that respect. I am sure most of us who have played cricket knows that getting a 100 or 200 for that matter has to do with more than just a flat pitch.

Totally agree mate, last time someone got a hundred While I was captain it only took them 6 overs. They bowled too many short balls and full tosses, but did get a wicket in his spell

Right! Back to the cricket; how unlucky was Watson then?

lol so you have nothing to say on how we played in the Champs Trophy in England! Only team to remain undefeated? Or about how we bowled that series?

I am not kidding anyone just telling the truth..in the first one dayer we was bowled out for 231 nobody said anything then? Also Johnson is probably one of the best One day bowlers at present and was leading wicker in England a few months back..

Actually even other cricket writers have said that the batting in this series has been on another level. This even coming from are arch rivals Pakistani Ramiz Raja who says India are blessed with the best batsmen.

I agree Test Cricket is the most ultimate form and once the likes of Kolhi, Sharma, Dhawan, Pujara play for a few more years in Test Cricket we will be in the top two test playing nations again.

No clue - yeah ok.

I think we have a staunch INdia are the best raaaa raaaa raaaa
Sprout scoring 200 is a great personal milestone , but to say most of his shots were 'pure' is wrong. Quite a lot were stand and deliver by no/little feet and throw the hands through... Easier to do on flat tracks, hence the higher scores.. Plus he should have been caught at 126 but sloppy fielding allowed him to continue so luck always plays a big part for anyone scoring highly.

As for comments on other series, I don't remember many 350+ plays 350+ games ? As for being jealous, don't be so silly! Who gets jealous over cricket!

Yes India played well in the champions trophy, they even got a trophy for it so change the record!

At the end of the day I'm sure some are jealous of India's batting talent, but Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are hardly cricketing super powers are they haha

Very Unfortunate, some crazy hitting by Maxwell and Watson.
