India 0, Stuart Binny 1: Fans react to flop show against England
You don’t kick someone when they’re already down. But the manner in which Team India has gone down in the two successive defeats in the ongoing ODI tri-series is nothing short of infuriating.
In the first game, we could at least take satisfaction in the fact that Rohit Sharma scored a fighting century. But against England, the Men in Blue failed in all three departments. Careless with the bat, sloppy in the field and toothless with the ball, India seemed devoid of a proper game plan.
We’re not the only ones incensed by their tame losses. Several Indian cricket fans voiced their concern on social media following their team’s flop show against England. However, most of them preferred a slightly more humourous tone. Scroll down to see for yourself.

2. In other words…
#INDvsENG England beat India with 135 balls to spare. Or, as AB De Villers would term it, 457 runs.

3. There’s a positive side to every story.

4. At least together, they scored more than AB
What if AB has scored 149 in 44 balls…Dhoni+10 scored 153 in just 39 overs. #INDvsENG

5. The only way out for Dhawan
Dhawan is left with two choices. Regain his batting form or Join Delhi BJP. #IndvsEng

13. More than justified. It made us root for Binny.
I think this entire match is a conspiracy by Dhoni to justify the inclusion of Stuart Binny.. #INDvsENG

14. Only one team is capable of making England look good.
Great strategy this by the Indian batsmen to make England look better ahead of the World Cup. #INDvsENG
