1st ODI India v England

[CHAPPERS]

Kieswetter, spurred on by my words, launches a 6 into the stand.

 

[Titanic]

At last a decent over for England, 13 from it... 279-4 (47 overs)

 

[Simster]

Prediction: We'll be about 20 runs short and India will therefore get home early in the final over

 

[JBenno]

great value

Got it on right in the nick of time there. India back to more or less even money now!

Any cricket team with Samit Patel in it, is always worth betting against in my book....

 

[Pevenseagull]

need some big stuff off the last two to give our 'bowling line up' a chance

 

[Titanic]

Patel is thrashing around....

 

[Beach Hut]

300/4 India bowling very badly

 

[CHAPPERS]

Wow, huge shot from Bedwetter

 

[Titanic]

and Bedwetter finishes by flailing a six over extra cover... 20 off Sharma's over... 307-4

Patel going okay....

Hmm, I thought we'd get about 310 when posting this. This could be tighter than I thought after that generous Sharma over.

 

[Titanic]

and a bit more thrashing around from Patel in the last over... 4... 4... 6

 

[westsussexseagulls]

Bit brave going large on India imo, good score by England, be a very hard chase. Glad I didnt back India!

Yep, he's crap. 36 runs off 18 balls. Boycottesque stuff.

 

[Titanic]

England finish up with 325-4... the last 2 overs were epic (38 runs)... but seems like we left it a bit late to me.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Smashing it!!! Bloody brilliant batting!!!!!!!

 

[Pevenseagull]

Oh bloody hell I'd only just spotted that Patel was playing as a fifth bowler

nice little knock mind

 

[mikeyjh]

70 from 6 overs by that pair - Perfect....

Oh fug me, I remember the last time we scored 325 and I felt confident v India...

 

[CHAPPERS]

Our bowing doesn't look strong enough for me but 330 isn't a small target. Early wickets ALWAYS key against India.

 

[Simster]

325/4

Patel 44 runs off 20 balls!

England have obliterated their attack in the closing stages there. I reckon it'll be quite tight.
