England In India - October 2011/12

[SaiSrini]

Complete domination by India, and that too with a second string side minus the big ticket regulars (Sehwag, Sachin, Yuvraj, Zaheer, Harbhajan, even Ishant Sharma).

I still have my reservations over Vinay Kumar, but the guy did well today. I still feel Vinay Kumar needs to be more pacier to create any impact outside the subcontinent. Also looks like we fielded very well again today. Whats happening to our fielding unit? We are a major rhythm based team. When we get into rhythm, everything looks so good for us. But if we are off rhythm, everything that could go wrong does go wrong. Need to work on that.

Awesome innings from both Gambhir and Kohli. 200 partnership dominated England.
Kohli stands second after Trott in most runs scored in 2011.
England need to score more on Indian tracks coz it's easy to chase scores below 270.

we have a young team and thats why our fielding is very good.. Vinay Kumar is good backup of someone like praveen kumar.

After winning next match, india will surely give chance to aaron. Umesh is bowling with good pace and he has good out swing which i think is very important.

The real question is why is there no test series?

it is next year... England came in 2008 so for test series 4 years gap.

Australia will tour England next year to play ODIs only as they played ashes just 2-3 years ago in england.

Kohli played brilliantly allright. But I feel the Man of the Match should have gone to Vinay Kumar....it would been an elateful moment & confidence booster for the man.

 

[Ollie_H]

Virat Kohli is such a babe.

 

[StinkyBoHoon]

I expected india to do better but I thought england would still hold the momentum. amazing the difference that conditions make.

no bothered there is no test series. It's crazy how much every team has changed recently. Australia are bring out their new batsmen and bowlers, sri lanka too, india are finally beginning to look beyond the old guard, england have new players and also their previously wishy washy ones are beginning to emerge as world class. west indies and pakistan are always chopping and changing.

south africa is the only relatively settled team.

so I need a little time to get to grips with these new teams and how everyone matches up, it's a bit like when I first got interested in cricket and hadn't a clue who anyone was.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

7 ODI hundreds at just under 23 years of age. Exciting.

He's scoring them at one every 9 innings exact. Sachin goes at one every 9.21 innings.

He's looking so dangerous at such a young age. Lots of potential here.

 

[Rohit Doshi]

T20i Squad for India - MS Dhoni (capt and wk), Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Yusuf Pathan, Robin Uthappa, R Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Umesh Yadav, Manoj Tiwary, Rahul Sharma, S Aravind.

Robin Utthapa returns to Indian color with Yusuf Pathan. Ajinkya Rahane retained

 

[Rehan_24]

Virat is a good looking batsman, determined and has match winning qualities

 

[Rohit Doshi]

The ODI Squad is same for the last 3 ODI's

 

[SaiSrini]

Yadav has done well in both the matches. Yes he has gone for 6 runs an over, but he took two of the most crucial wickets of the match, that of KP and Patel (the two top scorers for England). His economy in both games have not spiralled too much (its 6.4 in the 1st game and 6 in this game) and importantly he has picked up 4 wickets. Remember he is bowling on pitches that help batsmen if there is more pace on the ball. I am impressed with him. He needs to be nurtured more, and advised to keep his pace up at all times and not sacrifice it for anything. He could be expensive, but he can also be among wickets.

Where is Aaron? Is he dropped for the T20 game? There are only 14 players for the game. We are very light on the batsmen for the T20 game.

we are missing gambhir and rohit in t20 squad but still this lineup is very good.
Yusuf and Jadeja Both can play together. So we can have long batting lineup when considering that Jadeja and yusuf both are handy with balls.

Varon Aaron is there in T20 squad just saw in bcci official site..

Selectors retain same squad for remaining ODIs | Announcements | BCCI


Kotla Pitch was perfect ODI wicket, Had Something for everyone..
