That would be better for India. One less match to win. If we win the last two, we can tie the series and escape unscathed. Winning two is easier than winnings 3 out of 3.

By the way, why do you say its great? In your profile, you have put India as the Supporting National Team.

 

[legspinner@fred]

'oh great' equals sarcasm.

 

[Adarsh]

That weather's fine. It's always like that around here ! I very much doubt it'll be affected by any rain. I hope not anyway, because I'll be in Headingley! Wooooo!

If Zak is unfit, I feel that they`ll go in with 7 batsmen.
We need the dare-devilry of Uthappa at the top of the order and then the batting will look more convincing.
I`d open with Uthappa and Sachin with Ganguly as my No.3 , Dravid at No.4 with Yuvi,Karthik,Dhoni to follow.

India are known to be a very dangerous batting side during the powerplays but so far in this series, Sachin and Ganguly have`nt scored that quick during the powerplays.

One major reason why India were so successful at the beginning of 2006 was because of the attacking batting from Irfan,Dhoni,Yuvraj and at times Sehwag and Sachin.
Irfan, I feel will eventually come back to the side.

Personally I would like to see a final deciding match, but looking at the current form I don't think that will happen. If India manages to get a stable opening partnership from Ganguly and Tendulkar I think they will win the next match.

I hope Irfan's brother Yousuf does well in the 20-20 world cup he is a hard hitter of the ball.Also Sreesanth should be in this team.

Imagine how awful the bowling will be if Zaheer wasn't there and India go with 4 bowlers!

Shudder.....

 

[Hooper]

I just watched the 4th ODI.

Why do England think that Prior is Englands answer to Adam Gilchrist? ..Wait, I can't be to critical, some Australians think that Shane Watson is our Freddie Flintoff.

Lol at Agit Agarkar when he bowled Ian Bell! That face was priceless!

 

[manee]

Yes. It was a good ball, Agarkar had swung everything out in the series and Bell was just watching it go by when the ball started to come in and you can almost hear Bell's brain going: "Noooooooo...".

 

[Leggie]

well from the last match i think india have sussed out how to get pietersen out, either the spinners or bowl short to him...

 

[ZexyZahid]

There is something to celebrate for Ganguly upcoming match. It will be his 300th ODI match, which is a lot. And Ganguly can get a treble: he has 100 catches, got 97 ODI wickets and plenty of ODI runs.

Ganguly set to scale the 300-ODI mark

Uthappa better play tomorrow, there will be a Malayali monster in me exploding if he doesn't.

yeah, india better play the extra batsmen, (probably dropping RP Singh), and they batter not play gambhir, he is just so crap and cant compete against the big guns, he should go back and play school cricket....
