The tour has gone well so far though.....Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: Spud on Thursday, March 30, 2006, 20:00:00 Ive predicted 5-2 to India in the ODI series.
Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: STFC Village on Friday, March 31, 2006, 05:53:49 Doing ok, 138-3 after 33 overs. Freddie and KP at the crease, so the soring rate should accelerate..... 8)
Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: larwood on Friday, March 31, 2006, 07:12:03 226 all out,at least its a bit of a target.Kp made 71 and Strauss had a good little knock too.The pitch seems a slow one,bet they still win by eight
wickets though :-))( According to TMS it isn't Freddies hundredth ODI,unless the [not so]Super Series against Australia is taken into account,he won't make the hundred until a couple of games or so. Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: STFC Village on Friday, March 31, 2006, 11:19:56 It's going to be a close finish, India need 45 from the last 42 balls :|
Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: land_of_bo on Friday, March 31, 2006, 11:29:45 They need 20 off 8 balls! Who is bowling the last over??
Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: DMR on Friday, March 31, 2006, 11:30:00 They'll do it. Hats off to Dhoni and Raina, batted superbly and at a run a ball without slogging it about. Take note Ingerland.

Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: larwood on Friday, March 31, 2006, 13:48:11 Personally,considering the start we let them have,i thought we did well to stand even a slight chance of winning[obviously not once the Raina and Dhoni partnership was established].We have to remember the inexperience of the bowlers,they are all young, another spinner would have been a lot more handy than all the seamers we played too.
Strangely i still feel kinda happy about our performance :nuts: ,sure we've lost both times but we are playing a damn good Indian side in India and in both games we had our chances to win,its just the killer instinct and bit of luck they need to win is missing at the moment.

Yes we had a chance in the first game to win until the moment our opening batsmen stepped out to bat.

we didn't get a great score but was a good score still....and to limit them to 102-5 and not win was bad. WHY CAN'T WE BOWL AT TAILENDERS!!! im going to explode. Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: Boeta on Friday, March 31, 2006, 21:31:27 dhoni and raina are tail enders. raina is sheer class whilst dhoni has a proven ODI record in the sub-cont
Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: Johno on Saturday, April 1, 2006, 08:49:47 well after getting the likes of sehwag, dravid, singh out cheaply you'd expect them to do it for the low order batsmen, and they never do. England change there bowling style when they bowl to low order batsmen, ive seen it. Hoggard one time was bowling bouncers for some reason!!
it happens nearly every game we play in now!! Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: Boeta on Saturday, April 1, 2006, 11:49:01 don't you think that's because the shine has gone off the new ball and it doesn't swing anymore? so if they bowled line and length every ball they'd get battered so they have to mix it up
Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: Johno on Saturday, April 1, 2006, 13:25:31 yeh, i didn't think about that, i agree with varying it up to tailenders, but to be honest, they bowl shit delieveries half the time to tailenders.
Title: Second ODI,Faridabad Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Sunday, April 2, 2006, 16:55:00 they always try yorkers and end up sending it down the legside :-))(
