That is brilliant

Their YouTube channel is still up.

Someone sent me that story yesterday on a group chat. The video footage is hilarious.

Thing that get's me, no one betting twigged the genuine IPL had finished a few weeks earlier.

Sounds like england are playing like the fake ipl-ers

That’s started well!

Elzar · « **Reply #14365 on:** July 12, 2022, 01:42:26 pm »

Going well. Bumrah clearly getting massive swing in it, maybe try ride it out for a bit?

CheshireDave · « **Reply #14366 on:** July 12, 2022, 02:18:01 pm »

Buttler gone now. 59/7

Pathetic performance. ECB should refund the fans or quickly get those fake IPL'ers in to play a couple of matches.

What a debacle.

English batters have forgotten how to play swing bowling.

They're not going to need the lights.

Think there’s an ODI on today, let me just see what’s goin....oh for fucks sake.

Are we slight (very very good) flat track bullies in the truest sense? India’s seamers seem way more dangerous than anyone else’s and we struggle to adapt.

6/19 for Bumrah. Blimey.

Batted lads.

We’re being brought back down to Earth with a bang in the slap and tickle stuff. Being reminded that we’re not the jefes we thought we were. Easy to score 500 against Netherlands, not so easy against professional operators.

In fairness we’ve been battering most sides, not just the Netherlands. But India suddenly look very strong. Like Australia they’ve got 2 or 3 world class Teats seamers in their ODI team and will always be strong batting with IPL experience. Look the team to beat at the moment.

We've whitewashed three OD series in a row, and narrowly lost to India when we last lost one. Hardly suggests we're being 'bought back down to earth', just having a bit of a shit one today.

Homelander · « **Reply #14376 on:** July 14, 2022, 02:45:07 pm »

Typical England struggling in limited over Cricket as soon as they start looking like a quality test side, England are never able to be a dominant force in both formats of the game.

That's what happens when you have the breast fast bowlers in the world.

Buttler's reign has begun well.

Where's Welshy?

We've already comfortably eclipsed Tuesday's score

That’s pretty fucking thick from Livingstone having played quite sensibly until that point.

Robinred · « **Reply #14383 on:** July 14, 2022, 04:03:20 pm »

Some poor shots again from our batters, particularly to the tweaker.

I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed watching Moeen bat😀

Gerry Attrick · « **Reply #14384 on:** July 14, 2022, 04:20:49 pm »

Chahal is a phenomenally good one day bowler.

stating the bloody obvious but that's unlikely to be enough.

It certainly is something. What it is, I'm not quite sure other than shite.

Think its a cross between Chris Waddle and Charlie Nicholas with a bit of Barry Venison thrown in!

Very impressive from Topley. Looks likely O T will witness a decider.

Fucking Yorkshire.

Might make the decision whether to watch the cricket or goal today a bit easier if this keeps up!

They're making Siraj look competent. Whenever I watch RCB he gets bullied by batters.
