1st ODI India v England
- Thread starter Beach Hut
- Start date
It's a good start but not quite as good as BH said it was - it's 138-0 off 24.
It's beaten the previous best Eng opening partnership against India held by ....
.... Chris Tavare and Barry Wood
If that had been a quiz question, I don't think a single person would have named the pair. I can still hardly believe it

Cook out
172/2 off 31.1 overs
....just to add, our bowling attack looks tragic, and why the hell Prior isn't playing the one dayers is baffling. Good start from the batters though

Oh bloody hell I'd only just spotted that Patel was playing as a fifth bowler
On the wicket-keeper; I'm not a great Kieswetter fan, but Prior has had many chances and isn't the right player for the ODI team either. Kieswetter has an ODI century (unlike Prior) and 5 x 50s to Priors 3, averaging 30.66 to Prior's 24.18, despite having had 37 innings to Prior's 62. The issue for me with Prior in one day cricket is that he scores a large number of his runs square of the wicket, and with bowlers tending to bowl tighter lines in ODIs he isn't able to score as many runs in these areas, and hasn't been able to adjust his game (in the same way that say Alistair Cook has) to score in other areas.

Because Kieswetter's record in ODIs is significantly better and in List A games, far better - Scores more runs, quicker....
236-2 (41 overs).
300 won't be enough... Pietersen and Morgan need to let rip.
Four singles in the last over.
