Well that was a joke. Jammy win at the end, and yet MORE crappy umpire decisions

Good win for England, that wide call by the ump in the last over seemed harsh and didn't help India at all.
We were both on 165, how was it not tied?
Pfft, Twenty20. It's practically synonymous with jammy wins. I'm still not sure why you Indians rate it so highly.Well that was a joke. Jammy win at the end, and yet MORE crappy umpire decisions

India in losing a match shocker.
Seriously, when are they going to please their fans?

How was it a jammy win? England were with the required rate all through the game.

At the beginning and at the end, they got a lot of runs through weird incidents. In the middle Morgan was brilliant though.
I think that umpire decision only played a small part.
You can't change an umpire's decision but you can at least bloody well bat and see out the overs and not collapse!
India simply aren't good enough to pull out a convincing win over England at the moment.

Quite - you can pretty much say any close t20 wins, they could swing either way. If the penultimate over had played out like the final over, would it still have been "jammy"?
Funny, because I think we'll get embarrassed in the ODIs.

It depends upon how the runs were scored.
Hmm I'm not so sure. If India do win I think it'll be by marginal victories.

I'm not sure I can pin point what went wrong today. Stupid batting at certain times, and then bad luck in the last over.
Only those two things really. Despite the fact that 150 was seen as a par score on this pitch, India's batting let them down big time. Sharma, Kohli, Dhoni and Ashwin all should have done better.

Hopefully England will be ruthless and white wash them and send them off without a win in any form of the game

Getting all out before all the overs had even finished is probably a good start to be fair.
I didn't see the Indian innings, but I thought England batted well. I thought Morgan was fantastic, some of his shots were world class and just effortless. I don't think I'll ever be convinced that Bopara is worthy of a place in a starting 11 for England though. Despite his 30+ he never really looked comfortable.
Funny clip of the moment Patel broke his bat - Vaughan is hilarious.
