England In India

Re: England In India

England all out for 238, India win by 54 runs and go 2-0 up in the series.

Sehwag took 3/38 and Yuvraj took 4/28, including two very important periods of two wickets each. He really was the thorn in England's side today.

Unsuprisingly, Yuvraj was Man of the Match for his century and his four-wicket haul.

Next game is a day match at Rajkot on Thursday.
 
Re: England In India

We just don't have the technical batting ability of the Indians. And what ability we have we cannot sustain it for long periods.
 
Re: England In India

3rd ODI is in the balance. England batted first and made 240 from 48.4 overs (49 max).

India are 3/107 in reply with Graeme Swann just taking the wicket of Rohit Sharma for 28.

Game very even at this point, a lot rests with Sehwag now who's on 62.
 
Re: England In India

India 4/156, Flintoff got rid of Sehwag after a brilliant catch by Paul Collingwood.

But, that wicket fell at 125 and India have batted well since then, they need 85 from 15 overs.
 
Re: England In India

Bad light ends play and India win :rolleyes:

The ICC should look at their own archaic rules before worrying about bad over rates
 
Re: England In India

Dhoni had talked about bad light coming into play at the toss, and it's turned out precisely that way.

That's pathetic. If it was known that this would be a problem before the game then surely the game should have been reduced in overs to around 45. They went off around the scheduled finishing time but still with 9 overs remaining. Obviously, there was no chance of all the overs being bowled.

Who decides how many overs will be played? The Match Referee i presume?

Set formula that cant be moved from :rolleyes: Dont know why they couldnt atleast cut the interval, cut the time following the toss to start of play etc, there's an extra 40 minutes and a full game

How does that work out?

D/L system?

Yep
 
Re: England In India

The rain has stopped and sanity has prevailed. The lunch break has been reduced to 10 minutes.

The overs may be reduced as well.
 
Re: England In India

More play was possible with the overs being reduced to 44 per side. India reached 1/106 from 17 overs before more rain forced the players to leave the field once again.

Play has been stopped for the last hour and 45 minutes and there will need to be a decision made within the next 35 minutes to restart play otherwise this game is over.

Sehwag on 61 and Gambhir 30 but it looks like we won't be getting any more play in. Fingers crossed though.
 
Re: England In India

Play is going to resume in 30 mins. Its going to be 22 overs per side. Not good news for India.
