I know it would have made no difference to the outcome since it was the batsman who failed, but how do the management justify dropping their most successful Odi bowler against Pakistan for this game? The only quick bowler they have that can be relied upon to hit the right spot time and time again and they drop him?
It is this moment exactly that I have lost all faith in the English Odi setup.
If anyone even thinks about trying the, swing bowlers don't work in India line again, you only have to look at how well Pathan often does in Indian conditions, and he is possibly slower than Lewis...

Can't believe Chris Broad isn't playing either.

Chris was his dad, an opening batsman in his day.

So to be fair considering how bad a start England got off to, maybe you did mean Chris afterall

Apparently there are more cracks in the pitch today then yesterday, being a recently relaid pitch it is often very tricky to work out how it will play.

Nah, no way they will lose Zorax, although it certainly seems this was far from an easy pitch to bat on.
Full credit to Englands bowlers who have fought well despite being let down by their batsman. Had Harmison not gone for 24 from his first 2 overs, could have been slightly more nervy for India. Bit of a problem for England, that Mahmood and Harmison don't appear able to both bowl well in the same game. Would form a rather nice partnership if they weren't both so erratic. You just can't afford to take an over to get into your groove in Odi cricket.

Oh well, all we have to do to restore pride is beat Australia now. 
:
It's performances like this that makes me glad to play Sunday League football whilst the cricket's on. I do believe that Harmison conceded 20 in one over too. Can anybody fill me in on how Anderson and Mahmood bowled?

Woah! JD claimed 2-5 as well; Maybe this little performance will convince me to watch the highlights later. You have to admire JD really. He came into the side for the SL series without really being hyped up in anyway and he just burst onto the scene with these fantastic and consistent all-round performances.
