Why did India lost to England today?

Answer 1

1) Poor fielding. Indians are fat and lazy. They are lethargic on the field and they don't dive for the ball. Usually teams like Sri Lanka, South Africa and Australia save 35-40 runs a game on fielding. But for India, their fielders are a liability and they GIVE UP 35-40 runs a game

2) Choking...Indians have proven over the last 25-30 years they can't play well under pressure against quality opponents. They have never had reasonable success chasing targets that are 250+...you could see this coming.

3) Inexperience and wild inconsistent batting...what kind of shots are Dhoni and karthik playing??? My goodness!


This team hasn't improved one bit since their disaster in the world cup...they're not going to be improving unlesss they remove Sachin from the team (he's getting old and he puts up one good performance in like every 10 matches...we can't wait around for him to get his form back while risking the sucess of the team).

They need a fielding coach...yes thats right a fielding coach.

This team is in absolute shambles right now...they have way too many flaws.

Answer 2

When India plays Pakistan, there are some undercurrents that few things will happen and sometimes they actually happen also, reason why fans from both teams decry the losses. I was thinking that India will win the 2nd ODI, thus keeping the series alive. Dhoni did few right things, won the toss, asked Pak to bat and then chased the game for a while, with openers putting on 141 for the 1st wicket. Pak looked like getting at least 325+ at that stage but folded up for just 250. Rumour mongers, betting experts must be reading b/w the lines, as it happened in the W.C. semi finals in 2011, as that's how Pakistan folded as per the script. India starts off with 41 runs for the 1st wicket but then flurry of wickets happened. We were awaiting another turn of events, India was slated to win this match for sure, to keep the series alive, else it would be a dead rubber and not many people would turn up to watch the 3rd match. But India never recovered from the flurry of wickets and lost badly. No Pakistani came out with the same theory, like 2011 WC match. They can take heart & its a small consolation for the sacrifice they made during that fixed W.C. win for India. They were offered away series win in India, along with huge sums. Now we can look at the above theory, can't we. Only sad part being that India is on a losing spree & awaiting their revival, got to give credit, where its due, congratulations to the Pakistanis but no conspiracy theories please from either teams, even when they lose..

Answer 3

India has faltered in a game which it should have won.Inspite of the decision to field they were restricted to 281 which was attainable till Dravid was in.But Dhoni,Powar,Zaheer had simply spared the common sense. Chawla being inexperienced could be forgiven for getting out.Not the others.
Dhoni who was yet to find his feet could not resist having a go at Anderson and seeing him off safely in that over(he had only 2 overs left to be used at the end).He should have given the strike in that over to Yuvraj who was stroking freely and opening out later against lesser bowlers.
Powar's role should be to give strike to Yuvi.
It is unfortunate for Zaheer to be involved in the run out.
Dravid should have sent Zaheer as pinch hitter at the fall of Dhoni's wicket or even at the fall of Tebdulkar's wicket, since we had wickets at that stage.
Rahul Dravid and his men have let go an opportunity to go one up.

Answer 4

What is wrong with Rahul Dravid? After winning the toss he opted for fielding with the laziest fielders in the game of cricket. India deserves to lose under his captaincy.
