Swarles Barkley Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Great innings for England and phenomenal hitting from morgan We were only 27 runs short of getting more runs here than in the ODI at Edgbaston
Guest MattP Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Superb last few overs. Bowl well and we should win.
StanSP Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 81 in the last 5 overs. Morgan . Confident we can chase that down though.
foxfanazer Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Didn't look like getting 150 after 13 overs so 180 is a great score. Will he interesting now
marko Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Really can't understand the abuse of Bopara and Ali by the Indian fans, as both of them have more in common with them as 2nd and 3rd generation British Asians than the deities they're worshipping. OK, support the Indian team, but there really is no need for the active abuse of fellow British Asians simply taking pride in representing their country of birth.
Captain... Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Great innings for England and phenomenal hitting from morgan We were only 27 runs short of getting more runs here than in the ODI at Edgbaston We beat our score in the Cardiff ODI, and 5 of India's innings in the test series...

OK, support the Indian team, but there really is no need for the active abuse of fellow British Asians simply taking pride in representing their country of birth. It's absolutely sickening. Any other sport and I think it wouldn't be tolerated. The stuff towards Ali today has topped what Ravi got in CT final. Appalling a blind eye will again be turned to this.

Hopefully Ali and Bopara win the match for us.
Guest MattP Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Would be amazing. Not gonna happen though :-(
purpleronnie Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 More amazing (if memory serves me right) we only one day of cricket abandoned due to the rain this year.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Get in! Hahaha mugged that crowd right off.
Guest MattP Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Lapping it up. Unlucky you racist bastards.
Bobby Hundreds Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 T20s are always competitive at least, 50 over stuff is still dog turd.
Corky Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Morgan's innings deserved to win that game. Hope the stuff Matt has been talking about is brought up, considering the grief the press gave the Barmy Army for booing Ponting just for being a tit.
James. Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 On way home from Edgbaston. What a game and what a victory for England. Great scenes at the end. That said is there a more annoying group of people than Indian cricket fans? Jesus wept.
Narborough_fox Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Just watching the highlights on Channel Five. From the crowd you couldn't tell whether the game was played in India or England...
ADK Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Great to beat India at their favourite format in front of their home crowd.
StanSP Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 On way home from Edgbaston. What a game and what a victory for England. Great scenes at the end. That said is there a more annoying group of people than Indian cricket fans? Jesus wept. Nope! I hate some of our fans too.
Sir Fynwy Posted 7 September 2014 Posted 7 September 2014 Nope! I hate some of our fans too. I find Indian cricket fans the least knowledgeable and most loud mouthed in world cricket, the fact their teams are now only really focussing on crash bash formats is funny, when the IPL hype dies off the BCCI will be in serious trouble.

How do you mean least knowledgeable? Like, how do you judge that at a match or do you just mean in general via social media etc?

What utter tripe, on all points.Indian followers including many women know their cricket. T20 and some sort of 1 day format is here to stay, the crowds around the world testify to that.
