India v England, 5th ODI, Cuttack

By Will 2 years ago, at the end of November Add your comment below

Unless you’re particularly masochistic, or have absolutely no life, most Britons won’t have seen much of this one-day series. However, we have another day-night match tomorrow, which gives the rest of us a chance to witness England’s horrors in all its gruesome, filthy, achingly inexplicable form. That’s right: it’s the fifth of seven hundred ODIs and it gets underway on Wednesday morning, at the really rather reasonable hour of 9am.

So grab your skinny, soya, wet lattes with wings and head over to Cricinfo to experience one of winter’s great joys: one-day cricket in the subcontinent. Watch Ian Bell hit 9 from 20 balls, turning down easy singles in a blind panic. Witness Paul Collingwood fail to hit anything through the off-side. Question Graeme Swann’s mental state and sympathise with Kevin Pietersen. Grit your teeth and hold onto your swivel chairs as Peter Moores attempts to calm us down by insisting: “they’re trying really, really hard” and “the batsmen look a million dollars in the nets”.

Alternatively, do what I’m doing and cheer on the underdogs’ underdog, Bangladesh, to see if they can stave off a two-day whipping.

    So it’s not only me who can’t quite work out why he’s more interested in willing Bangladesh to a respectable defeat than cheerign on England in India.
