Pagalpanti Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I just checked and was surprised to see that we have 3 warm ups for 5 ODI's. When was the last time we played so many warm up's for ODI's? Thu Aug 25 14:45 IST Sussex v Indians Fri Aug 26 19:00 IST Kent v Indians (Wahab Riaz might face off against Indians) Mon Aug 29 19:00 IST Leicestershire v Indians Also will these warm ups be shown live?
Pagalpanti Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 Vaas plays for Northants. Oops yeah, mixed up.
Cricket Tragic Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 There is a useless Tontee Tontee match as well. That is also like a warm-up game. If England beat us in the ODI series, they become the best ODI side in the world as well.

Aus, SA, SL and India are all better odi sides than Eng.
Trichromatic Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 and if India win this ODI series then there will be more talks about Indian players are suited to LO cricket only. :P
Ultimate_Game Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 and if India win this ODI series then there will be more talks about Indian players are suited to LO cricket only. :P We don't need to prove anything to anyone. Our record over the last few years is proof enough. Granted we were p*ss poor this series but that was more an aberration than a rule over the last 10 years or so. These same players were part of the team that was ranked 1 in Tests and just 1 bad series make them "suited to LOI cricket only".
Cricket Tragic Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Not really' date=' no. They haven't really done much to be the no. 1 team in odis. Aus, SA, SL and India are all better odi sides than Eng.[/quote'] Sarcasm :fail:
Ultimate_Game Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Sarcasm :fail: So many wrist slitting comments going around these days that can't really tell what is meant to be sarcastic and what isn't :winky:
Cricket Tragic Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Wish we played so many warm-ups fr the tests. Wouldn't have made a big difference.
Trichromatic Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Wish we played so many warm-ups fr the tests. 5 warm-up games and still disgraceful performance in test. What are you talking about?
saneindian Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 The key question is when are the ODI specialists reaching England? Ideally they should have been there by now. Rohit, Parthiv, Vinay, Ashwin (and any reinforcements if sent) should play all the practice matches.
Cricket Tragic Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Speaking of the ODI series, who will be our 3rd seamer? PK Munaf ? Ashwin
Jayaram_IND Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 England cant match our ODI batiing lineup based on raw power so we must win on flat tracks.Their best chance is when it swings.
cameron_black Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 don't worry, even if it swings, you guys have the luxury of hiding behind the wall this time
Jayaram_IND Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 don't worry' date=' even if it swings, you guys have the luxury of hiding behind the wall this time [/quote'] Shows that we still dont have an all terrain specialist.
Trichromatic Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Speaking of the ODI series, who will be our 3rd seamer? PK Munaf ? Ashwin The one and only Davanagere express.
Cricket Tragic Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 The one and only Davanagere express. Who is that? :hmmmm2: Not Vinay Kooomar, is it? :((
