233 run partnership broken - a mere 241-2 with 8 balls left. Buttler out for 131

Bethell goes next ball!

 

[Gazza Bee]

257-3 - dont see India chasing that down

 

[Untouchable]

England on 257-3.

Brook ends on 95 n/o.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

The last two drops were appalling.

 

[Jam Jar]

India's humiliation tour nears its end. And Gambhir head should roll along with it

 

[Untouchable]

England win by 56 runs.

England win the series 4-0.

England are now the No. 1 ranked T20 team.

 

[aawharris]

Smashed them again - India now lost 5 in a row for the first time ever. Doesn't look like they really want to be here and the 15 year old is being found out against Archer albeit he will be one of the best if not the best T20 player in the world in the near future IMHO

Being the best pub cricketer in the world really isnt something to boast about

 

[TW1Bee]

England win by 56 runs.

England win the series 4-0.

England are now the No. 1 ranked T20 team.

Wow that's something to be proud of ....not !
What happened to proper cricket this is like the beer matches we used to play in club cricket

 

[Cbee]

Ravi Shastri looking like Kid Creole there at the presentation!

 

[Banana]

The last two drops were appalling.

The one where it was literally hit into his hands whilst he stood on the boundary would be an instant ejection for a Sunday League 3rd XI team

 

[Untouchable]

[Les Beeavinu]

Didn't realise Kolhi was still playing.

 

[Untouchable]

Didn't realise Kolhi was still playing.

He retired from tests and T20s. Still going in ODIs.

 

[malvernbee]

This ain't looking good. 80/5

 

[Banana]

Just tuned-in to see Sam Curran's return to the pavilion. Sigh.

 

[TW3Bee]

He retired from tests and T20s. Still going in ODIs.

He's got the ODI Record Run Scorer to get

 

[Untouchable]

We were 58-0 when I was last watching.

And we all thought BazBall was dead.

 

[German Bee]

Baz is still in charge of the white ball teams.

 

[German Bee]

good recovery 258 all out.

 

[Untouchable]

Kohli

 

[CTBee]

It's bizarre to me that Jacks has opened in white ball cricket all his life and we bat him at 7 and open with Bethell who has mainly batted in the middle order

 

[Ashford Bees]

Bumrah is on a different level.

 

[Ashford Bees]

What happened to Indian Bee by the way? Used to enjoy his cricket related posts. Looks like he left the GPG completely

 

[Les Beeavinu]

He asked for his account to be deleted.

 

[Untouchable]

England win but Root stranded on 99.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Joe Root is a phenomenon

 

[Banana]

Can't believe he wasn't allowed to get his century with six overs left!!!!

Atkinson scored 19 out of the last 20 runs!!!!!

 

[Ashford Bees]

Can't believe he wasn't allowed to get his century with six overs left!!!!

Not helped by the sh*thousery fielding from Indian to prevent the single on Atkinson’s winning boundary

 

[Ashford Bees]

He asked for his account to be deleted.

Shame he felt the need to do that. Came across as a passion bee who also loved his cricket. Who BULLIED him off?

You'll have to ask him why he left.

 

[Untouchable]

England win the toss in the third ODI and bat first.

Play underway at 11:00.

 

[Untouchable]

Bumrah out for India.

 

[badgerbee]

Bumrah out for India.

Thought you said we were batting....??

 

[aawharris]

Why cant Lords make its mind up.
Minefield for a test and a road for a one dayer.
Proves that they can prepare the pitch how they need to

 

[kaebess]

What a batsman. Not out over 3 one days, scoring over 50 in each innings. Today a strike rate of 150 ish

 

[Untouchable]

England end on 387-3.

82 runs from the last 5 overs.

Highest score in an ODI at Lord’s.

Duckett, Bethell, Root and Buttler all outstanding.

 

[Banana]

Buttler with a SR of over 300....

 

[Untouchable]

Buttler with a SR of over 300....

I would have had him at 3 instead of Brook.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

What a batsman. Not out over 3 one days, scoring over 50 in each innings. Today a strike rate of 150 ish

Not out in last 4 ODI innings (111 not out v Sri Lanka as well).

 

[aawharris]

Proper batting aswell, no clueless slogs, proper shots (with a few scoops involved).
Amazing what happens when you just bat normally, but powerfully

 

[Untouchable]

England win by 27 runs.

England win the series 2-1.

8 T20 and ODI matches of which India only won one!

Here's the PM:
"you said if I carry on you will banned (sic) me for ever - go on I dare you. ...... I won't lose sleep over it. Go on do it tonight if you have any balls. I will sign off now and log on in 10 mins if I can access GPG I will be disappointed and know what a wimp you are."

 

[Beecareful]

Excellent couple of series for England against mighty India.

India are ODI kings so brilliant results and performances too.

Good TV coverage - excellent viewing

 

[German Bee]

Why wasn't Siraj playing?

 

[BuzzWord]

Why wasn't Siraj playing?

He was "left out re work load management to ensure full recovery for 'bigger' red ball series .... his effectiveness heavily relies on his ability to swing the new ball, so being utilised more as a red-ball specialist .... Aug tests in Sri Lanka & Nov in NZ & Aus at home in Jan .... leaving space(s) for/to look at upcoming/younger players in the white-ball games for them to gain match-time experience."
