I had to go out and write it out and find it myself. And there's some stories I can tell you. Yeah. I had to-- This is the final wording that versus India ODI Dailies brought to you in association with Mori Candles. The gift that says everything without having to think of anything more on them later. I'm Daniel Norcross. Alongside me, I'm delighted to say is Yasrana and as his traditional on the final word, Dailies, I'm going to ask him to describe what has happened. In 30 seconds. Well, without wanting to undersell it too much, it was one of those slightly tedious ODI eyes where you were very confident the result. 20 overs in, but it takes another seven hours to actually reach that result. Ingenbatted first, and on a pitch that offered a decent amount of pacing carrying a bit of up and downbats later on, they got through the power pay, unscayed, even though Jacob Bethel's existence at the top of the order was quite stodgy one. 61 without loss. Very quickly became 80 for five Guno Bra, India's tallest sea merer generation removed both England open is in the same over the following over Jasperic Bummer, got Harry Brooke and then England were in real, real bother England, then recovered through a partnership between Liam Dawson and Joe Ruth, they end up getting 259, route ended up on beaten on 76 Dawson, 68. Then India chased it down, fall down with more than four of his left spare, guilt, top scored with a magnificent 80 before he went off with cramp. Ingenbatted two double blows, one where they got rid of Rohit and Virat in quick succession and another when Gill went off with cramp, Shreya Sire was run out lazily and Kail Rahul chopped on against tongue, but in the end a partnership worth 102 between Axar and Washington ensure that they got home with relative comfort. Yeah, that I mean, there's not a great deal statistically to add to that. The table at the tape, 258 England, they lost five wickets for 19 runs, a collapse in any form of cricket at the top of the order that hasn't been seen since they were bundled out in New Zealand back in 2018, remarkably enough, you'll see a bad Andy's ultimate, that's that. The partnership between Joe Ruth and Liam Dawson showed guts, it showed fight and it showed why Liam Dawson should have been in this team way more than 10 times in his 36 years on this planet. But it also felt like all he was doing was delaying the inevitable, slowing down the chances of me getting to a bar in time to be able to start at the France B Spain game. And India had so comprehensively outplayed England that it was great for a crowd that was, I would say a bit more than half India, England gave them a full day's play and it meant that what were the cramps, what were all sorts of things going wrong with various people. The game managed to last to about 10 to 7 when it could quite easily have been euthanised at around about quarter past four, but there's some problem with professional athletes and sports people. They are an irksomely competitive and they do insist on attenuating matches that they really had no business doing. Joe Ruth finished 76.7 out of 76 balls. The most fascinating thing about his stay at the crease, I thought was that he faced 76 balls. Given that he came in after 12.2 overs, how does anybody bat for 37.4 overs and face 76 balls? I'm really glad that you picked this out as the main talking point because I thought this was fascinating. On number one, I think it's quite funny. So at the start of his innings, he was in his first 27 balls out in the middle. He faced as many deliveries for as he'd seen wickets fall at the other end, also for. In his entire innings, he faced 35.6 of the balls for which he was out there in the middle of the four. That's funny to watch at one level, but on a serious point, I think it kind of sums up England and Odeo cricket a little bit in that Joe is so good at just hitting one off good balls and the rest of the team aren't so good at that, which means that Joe then faces fewer balls. Obviously, he faced most of, he was out there mostly with Liam Dawson, so he's in number eight. I don't know, he too much in that, but I think that is something that is broadly true about England and Odeo cricket more generally. Do you want to know how good Joe root is at hitting ones off balls? I do. Well, I'm going to tell you because we were asked by Toby Tarant of XFM or whatever the name of that channel is. We were asked, is he the most singular of players in world cricket? In other words, let's work out a metric for how good he is at hitting singles. Well, the way we worked it out, me and Zoltz, was the number of balls he faces per single. Joe root faces 2.42 balls in Odeo cricket per single. Now that'll mean nothing to you until I tell you that it's the second fewest number of balls to get a single in the entire history of one day international cricket for anybody who scored over a thousand runs. Atop of the pile may surprise you. It's far for us. Oh, man. Wow. Two faces, 2.39 balls. And you're dead right. He is absolutely brilliant at scoring singles as it turns out to good at scoring singles. Because if you are with the number eight, they're not as good at scoring singles and say you do get a bit become both of them intriguingly scored six fours and one six one face 76 balls for 76 the other 83 balls for 68, not massively different. Thereafter, Joffa Archer, I loved his cameo of 12 of six. And it was at a point when England were starting to think, you know, we could get to 90 even 300 here, but absolute waste at the back end. They effectively lost the last three overs of their innings and their greatest bit of misfortune was that Bra couldn't bowl. And result, actually, but tell bowl. And then Rishi got into a terrible pickle. Then Josh Tunger into a terrible pickle and suddenly they were all out and Joe root was standing there leaning on his bat, unbeaten on 76. And then for the Indian innings, well, again, you're pretty much covered up. It shouldn't just say that I actually would tell with four for 62 and a half century. I believe it becomes only whether he might actually be the first person to do that batting at seven and bowling sixth. I believe that was the amazing stat. So he's managed to produce like 50 from down the order and he's a six six bowl of youth and he picked up his four wickets. He's the eighth person to have got a 50 and four wickets in one day. It's national cricket, I believe. Shubman Gill was absolutely gorgeous. Suncher shots. I mean, the technique, the timing, some of those just made you per with excitement. Oh, sure. There was one shot. They're sorry. Just one shot of of Gill off Josh Tung where it was a sort of crouched back foot punch through cover where there's almost no follow through where initially thinking, oh, that ball's not that short. So it's cover drivers in it. And then you look at the rebound. No, no, it is off the back for one of one of three or four, yeah, per inducing shots from Gill today. And while you're on the subject of his lack of follow through talking to Alex Davidson, the photographer, he says that actually Shubman Gill is one of the most frustrating people to photograph because he has such excellent timing that when you take a picture of some of his best shots, it looks in isolation like a forward defense or a back foot or a back foot defense because he doesn't actually need the follow through to affect the brilliance. And they were a bunch of those when you see them in the flesh, they just really get you blood going. Shreya Sair alongside him carrying on sort of the form from his T20s 35 or 53. It doesn't sound great, but it was just the right pace of innings alongside Shubman. But he went off retired hurt and it could be cramped. It could be a hamstring problem. And if it is, that will be a bit of an issue for India in the last two ODIs that they play on Thursday, Cardiff and then on Sunday at Lords. But Washington's Sunday after Kail Rohole, inside, they just back onto his dumps for one and Axe Patel just got the job done as easy as you like. So the question I'm going to ask you, obviously, Yaz is bad day at the office for England, brilliant day for India. Where did it go right for the people that went right? Where did it go wrong for the people that went wrong? Starting with India, they're batting on up. It confuses me as to how it's so different in ODI cricket to T20 cricket because that top order today, they're all such complete players. And I think you saw it with how Archer and Tung looked to attack them in the same way as they looked to attack the T20 eye top order. It's just the Indian top six in ODI cricket have the tools to withstand the pace and attack the pace as well as one amazing hook shot from Gil of Tung for six. So there's that with the ball. I think Bra is quite an interesting pick because he's basically an IPL nobody. He's only ever bowled 18 balls in the IPL. He's not played loads of first-class cricket, but Indian cricket plays a lot of emphasis on performance in 18 cricket. And his attributes, he's a quiz question for you actually down. He is India's tallest international cricketer since. Oh, I don't know, he's shant. No, he's taller than Danny Shant. I don't know, I'm trying to think of very tall Indians. Oh no, I've just lost the guy's name, but he played one game against England in 1999. In Sharjah, he took three for six foot six, Seema. I don't know if that. I don't know if you've forgotten him, yes. I don't know, you're quite good at that stuff. So he was basically picked in the 18 for his attributes and he'd really well in 18 cricket to get his opportunity today. And although he was very expensive, his first over goes for 17. His first over comes when in England of 20 for none after seven. He does get both England open. it was out in the same over to get the ball rolling for India. So there's that India good. England's basically just what they do in Hodeo cricket. They are fascinating in Whiteball cricket in that they are the number one ranked side in T20 eyes and up until their series victory in Sri Lanka in completely different conditions to what we had here today, but also what we'll have in the World Cup and South Africa next year. They have been consistently poor as a side. They lose far more games than they win. In their last 18 games batting first, they have lost 14 of those in one four. This is basically the North Ringler. I think that they struggle in various ways. I think with the bat, they struggle to find the right tempo. In terms of putting the team together, it's like they have a blanket that's just not quite big enough. Your toes are either cold or your head's cold. They are the lack batting decks or bowling decks in the 11. I think almost whatever side they pick, they end up like that. T20 cricket is basically almost like 240 set plays, set pieces that you have set fields, boundary dimensions. You know where the ball is going to target. Whereas with the blank canvas of 50 over cricket, I don't think England are that close to nailing it, actually. I couldn't agree more. I'm really telling start that we got again today on TMS from Andy's ultimate is that since 2022, England have been bowled out in one in two of their one day international. Going back to 2015 before that from 2015 to 2022, they're bowled out every five times. Now that is a massive difference. Part of it is it seems to me that the anchor that is Joe Roo, isn't getting any support. There's collapses that occur. I think there's the lack of 50 over cricket that they play. The other part of this is they play 12 matches a year. They tend to play them in four series of three matches, very disjointedly far, far apart. When they play T20 cricket, they're often playing clusters, called lot of games. They sort of get a certain role, clarity, the understanding, precisely what they're doing. I think they agree with you in part. It's because there are only 120 balls for their batters to negotiate and only 120 balls for their bowlers to bowl and the awning chasm of time that seems to stretch out. In front of someone like Ben Duckey who today did what he's been doing all season, which is looking like he's in pretty damn good form. At the moment, he gets to a score that proves that he's actually a very handy matter, but also proves that he's not going to play your match really innings. He gets out. Very good catch. So from Justin Bummer. It was very, very good catch from Justin Bummer at the man, very well to keep his feet inside the road. But he gave the opportunity. And these things are happening to Ben Duckey quite a lot. Jacob Bethel was interested. Well, the pitch had a lot on it to start with. And I wonder what your thoughts are about Inns decision to bat first. Harry Brooks suggested he thought it's because the pitch might take more turn later on in the day. And he had a team that was what he had in effect five spin options to a degree and three of them pretty much front line options. But it didn't work out that way. Did it actually in the first hour, the ball was really moving. And that was flying through to the glove. I mean, there was one ball. I remember distinctly, I think from passive Christian, which was both full outside the off stuff. And it blew through to KL Rahul around about shoulder or my head height, which you don't see. And you certainly don't see it edgebaston very often. I'm not saying it got much, much easier later. I mean, it did ease significantly. I'd say maybe they just misread the pitch there. Do you think? Yeah, I think so. I think they were going on recent history at the ground. England scored 400 edgebaston. I think last year in an ODI. So I understand, well, they would have wanted to do that. There's also was one of those things in Odeo cricket in England that you can sort of underestimate how much more generally the first hour of an 11 o'clock start game in particular. It can be the best time to bowl, especially with the new ball. So maybe that comes into it somewhat. I think Bethel versus Christian was quite an interesting battle because Bummer did most of his bowling to duck it. And Bummer was as economical as he basically always is. And that's kind of fine. It's kind of baked in as a batting side against a Bummer team. But Bethel really struggled against Christian. And in part, that's because Christian was really good. In part, though, this is kind of what Bethel does in ODI. I think he is a fascinating ODI player. He has never had a run of more than four games in one spot. He's 20 or games in his career and his positions change six times already. And 12 out of his 20 innings has been a strike rate of 72 or under. So once he gets past 30, 40 balls, he really, really catches up his career strike rate is 91. But until he gets that point, he really is someone who struggles to rotate the strike. And I think that hurt England a little bit early on. And that's not all down to Bethel. I think Prashie Christianer who's a hot and cold bowl. There's a lot of credit for how well he started. But it's an intriguing move to move Bethel up to the top of the order when he'd actually gone, okay, at four in the six months preceding this. Another intriguing move was that and I really enjoy Harry Brooks' captaincy, I have to say. I want to talk a little bit about that in the round. But he did use four spinners. And the one who got the most over was Will Jacks in the end. Now, I know him parlors because he bought quite a few over to left handers. But it was a bit strange. Wasn't it? There'd been Adora Sheed there, Kubota right and left handers because of his googly. Jacob Bethel got a boat and over before Liam Dawson. Liam Dawson only rolled two over as there, which sort of continues that sense that do they really want him in the time, as I said earlier. So he is 10th one day internationally, he's 36 years old. He's just scored them 68 with a bat. In a way, normally captains go, well, that's going to be some confidence. Let's see what we can do with the ball, son. But that wasn't Harry Brooks' way. Discuss that a little bit. But also, Harry Brooks' general captancy, which I thought was still proactive and was still trying all the way through the end. There was no sense of giving up, I fell. Yeah, I think part of the reason why the end of the game felt quite soft and slow is because he kind of played his cards by that point. He really tried to win the game when the opportunity was there. He wasn't saving the seamers up for later. He used a lot of osu seam early on. And then there were two left handers in, which I think explains why Jack's ball so much and the other spinners didn't ball so much. I think more generally, along your question about Brooks' captain's day, I thought it was very proactive. I thought it was quite good. There's a point when Archie was balling really well. Shrews Eye comes in, nearly gets him caught off the inside edge first ball. And then third ball, he's very nearly caught by Ben Ducke at leg slip. Like, if that comes off, that's one yard closer to Ducke. We're talking about potentially a genius bit of captain's either changes the game and the margins are just that small. What I say more generally, and I'm interested to hear what you think about this as a double change when everyone's fixed. I appreciate one of the people I'm suggesting is not fit. I think at the moment there's basically one spinner too many in the England team. I think you can get by without one specialist spinner. And I think that Sam Curran, he's a cricketer I love. He's not a third seamer. So today, he balled his 10 overs. This was the fourth time in 42 ODIs. He's balled his 10 overs. He basically averages five overs per ODI. That's not enough for a third seamer. It was interesting that I thought he balled with a keeper up more than he usually does. I think that could work. But I think more generally, I'd like to see a more penetrative option as a third seamer. And I don't really get what Liam Dawson is doing in this side if he's not going to bowl before Jacob Betel. So if you want that protection from spin and a bit more threat, I'd have a double swap where I'd remove Sam Curran and I'd remove Liam Dawson. And I'd give James Coles a go at seven as someone who could provide the Liam Dawson overs, but probably gives a bit more of the bat. And I'd get Jamie Overton in when he's fit. His ODI record is actually pretty good and is striped great with the ball in both white ball formats. It's pretty good. And I think he gives you more options than Sam Curran as a specialist ball. And I don't think if you do both of those changes, you lose that much in the batting. No, I don't think he's too much in the batting. The problem is, aside that Kicksong getting bold out is looking at Sam Curran as a genuine batter on there. I think that's really what they're seeing in him because there's two other guys here, Saki Mahmoud and Gus Ackinson, who you feel if he needed a bold first, the surface could have been very much favourable for them. There was a sort of surface in which you would have thought they might have thrived. But neither of them was selected, look, we will see whether there'll be changes. It's kind of an awkward one with a World Cup coming up in a year's time, but only playing three match series at any given time. Do you chop and change? Do you try to find your best combinations or do you try to stick with personnel that you've got because trying to find a formula is something that England has struggled to do in 50 over cricket for quite some time. Look, all that will become apparent in the next couple of games. We're going to head off to a break short. It's going to be the hall of fame.

This winter, right, briefly. Hall of Fame. What have you got for me, Yaz? Well, I'm going to start with the person who I forgot in part one. The guy's name Abby Kuru Villa who played 10 test matches and 25 ODIs for India in all in 1997. So really busy year for him. Then I can't believe you don't know who he is. That's prime Dan Norcross era. Well, it really is. It must have just slipped through my radar. He took three for a game against England where Alex Stewart scored a better than a run of 100 at charger. Does that ring any bells? The charger. I'm not sure I saw a great deal of cricket from the late 90s. I mean, that's the problem. Not sure they were always on sky. Well, my second Hall of Fame nomination is another man who's thrived in the late 90s. That is David Lloyd Bumble who made his return to sky today. Part of the blue for Bob Day, which is the last one that they're having. Blue for Bob. If you're unaware. A memory of Bob Willis. It's a fund that raises money for prostate cancer. And during the first drinks break in the India run chase, it was Bumble with a microphone. I think in front of the hollies, imploring people to get their phones out screaming. Get your phones out. Get your phones out. Get your formats on repeat. Encouraging people who in India to do that as well. And it was I think it was a man obviously doing something in honor of his mate, but also making the most of his brief return to sky cameras as well. I don't know if you could hear it in the ground, but he definitely could hear it watching on. It was it was it was back there was it was proper cheerleading. I've got a quick one for you and it's ideal Rashid because I was on commentary with Rick Marx when he came out to bat England. Still had about 17 balls left their readings three overs or so. And Vicks had well, you know, actually one of the better people to be coming in at this point was all to us really just get Joe root on strike and he's clever cricket. He'll know exactly what he's doing. Well, he sort of tried to smother the first ball into the leg side that he faced. And he didn't quite work for him. So he then got spooked and ran past a second to be stopped by KL Rahul who set the whole ball for so long. That's a rest she was just stuck about five yards out the inevitable waiting to happen and off he tried. Josh tongue out very soon after and the game plan had fallen apart. Those one of those things where they dragged themselves back into the game to 90 you felt actually might have given them something serious to bowl at. And in that over in that moment and except there was only bowling because bra couldn't bowl. The entire game was strangely lost and it's the cruelty and weirdness of cricket that there are some of the other reasons why England lost that game. In a sense it was crystallized by that one moment of actually unusual ineptitude from an otherwise terrific player. That's my whole of fame domination. I'm going to wrap it up there. We've got two more of these to go one on Thursday from Cardiff, one on Sunday from lords just a reminder. Murray candles, Gunn of a sports travels check out all the information you need in the show notes. I've been Daniel Norcross. I continue to hope to be so until at least Thursday when I see you next.
