1st ODI: India v England at Pune on Jan 15, 2017

These two can win. Hardik , Ash and Jaddu need to contribute with a 50.

[rich1uk]

my confidence is ebbing

need to break this partnership soon

too many easy singles atm, the batsmen can just rotate the strike, wait for the odd bad ball and cruise along at 7-8 per over

[meninblue]

Well played Kedar.

[rich1uk]

got to try and cut off some of these singles, bowl some dot balls and force the batsmen to attack

there is just no pressure on the batsmen atm

[Dr Cricket]

Nice cash out at the right time, just before the 6.
India winning this now hard to see how england can restrict india here unless they take all 6 wickets.

[Making_Splinters]

India should win from here. Much like the Test series England got themselves into a very good position then let it slip away.

Cheeku in 90's.

[rich1uk]

this is depressing

its not just that we look like losing from what should have been a winning position but these two are making it look so easy

4 and a 6er now. Kedar Kedar has grabbed a spot ahead of Yuvi now.

TBH Chasing is just so bloody easy in india/Asia.
especially when the batsman know what they are doing.

Reckon this series even the T20 although T20 is less dependent on the chase since chasing 10+ an over is hard.
but defiantly in the odi pretty much any team chasing would win since even chasing 7 runs per over is a piece of cake if the bowlers don't look like getting wickets.

India are probably chasing this with 5 overs or more to spare.

this is easier than it should have been bhav

iirc they said this would be the 3rd highest total india have ever chased to win an ODI so its not like its something happening all the time

morgan has been way too passive imo, sat back and waited for mistakes

Cheeku

[rich1uk]

surely no-one could have been stupid enough not to have kohli in their FL team

[Dr Cricket]

true could have stopped the singles when Dhoni was dismissed, Jadhav had to many easy singles, didn't help that the spinners were poor but then again can't be too harsh since Ashwin was awful today as well.
Saw this last summer as well but Morgan really needs to learn the art of choking runs or knowing what fields to set with his bowlers.
If you exclude the last 10 overs of india bowlers, the bowlers in general excluding Ashwin kept it tight and did make the english batsman work for the runs.
Jadeja and pandya bowled well during the middle overs.
England don't really have that after Willey does the new ball damage.

crazy how they allowed india to score at 8 runs per over with no actual risk during overs 10-20 and 20-30 overs.

[meninblue]

England were 189 for 3 at this stage. We are 231/4.
