England V India ***Clash of the Heavyweights*** Test, T20 and ODI Series

India yet again struggling i see...they just cant get dem breaks...cant even win a coin toss let alone an ODI lol.

I do wonder what they are doing here as they dont exactly look like they want to win any of the games....

LOL there was a period a while back where Dhoni had lost 15 ODI tosses in a row :eek:
 
Why do Indian fans get so ridiculously excited by boundaries and boo when the ball goes to a fielder? Whoever brought Cricket to India clearly forgot to mention it is supposed to be played and watched in the correct spirit...

Lol, you're not too wrong there. But don't forget, a lot of England fans don't cover themselves in glory either. Like the booing at Trent Bridge, absolutely disgusting behaviour in my opinion, really ridiculous.

Also, when I was at Oval on Friday, the Indian fans were loud, loved boundaries and booed when the England fielders were near them.

The England fans got drunker as the game wore on and eventually some of them started becoming rather abusive and a few were even a bit racist.

I think that cheering of boundaries is in the spirit of the game, don't be silly to suggest it isn't, but the other stuff I've mentioned is not nice.

TBH India have some amazing and incredibly loyal fans who help to create an excellent atmosphere at whatever venue they are at. The atmosphere at the Durham game was superb, the Indian fans really make the most of it and enjoy themselves, the cheering and booing isn't done maliciously, it's all in good spirit.
 
Good score by India but again Dhoni coming to their rescue in the 2nd straight match...impressed by Raina and his batting too.

Lets hope that India give a good bowling performance...still think England will beat them though.

Why we can't get Raina and Dhoni out now I don't know but our bowling was pretty terrible today.

I think the whitewash is off now :(

England doesn't have a good ODI bowling attack I'm afraid. Raina and Dhoni are seasoned pros at what they do. That's what people don't realise, and the reason people don't realise is because in general these guys have performed awfully on this tour.

This match isn't over yet though. I always dread it when Bell and Trott are batting together.
