Former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly has accepted that he is scared after seeing England scoring almost 500 runs in the third One Day International against Australia on Tuesday.

After England’s historic innings, Sourav Ganguly, who is also popularly known as the King of Kolkata, wrote on Twitter, “Too see almost 500 runs scored in 50 overs in England is scaring me ..about the health of the game and where it’s going..Australian bowling getting treated this way whatever the conditions may be is not acceptable..A country of lillee,thompson,benaud.”

Dada’s tweeted thrice but only the last tweet is available on the micro-blogging site, as seems to have deleted the rest.

Earlier on Tuesday, riding on Alex Hales (147), Jonny Bairstow (139 runs) centuries and Eoin Morgan Jason Roy’s quickfire fifties, England posted a massive record-breaking total of 481- 6 against the Aussie team. The hosts went past their own highest score in men’s cricket of 444 runs.

English skipper Eoin Morgan slammed the fastest fifty by an England player in the history of the ODI. Morgan scored his fifty in just 21 deliveries. The previous record was held by Jos Buttler. Buttler has scored 22 balls fifty.
