India in England/Ireland/Scotland

[manee]

Wow, just checked that out, England do have strong batting. I was wrong. I didn't realise just how much they scored.

 

[Hitterman]

do you think that sehwag may improve his form there

2005

englands bowling won them that series

the only bit where batting played a major role was the last test where pieterson saved the day

True, but I think that it was our ability to bat first and put on a big total that helped us win the Ashes more than anything. In batting first and scoring 400 + which is what we did three times, we put Australia under pressure right from the start and prevented them from getting a stranglehold on the game. Also, it ruled out the threat of having to bat 4th against Warne.

400 is not quite 500 as originally stated by someone (cant remember who) but who am i to be pedantic.

 

[Will_NA]

My mistake. Our highest was 477 in 2005 against Oz but not too bad, eh?

I certainly hope so. If I remember correctly, England was the first test tour that Sehwag was tried as opener? I may be incorrect, as usual, though.

i think pathan should be picked for this england tour, because if he can swing the ball like he can, then he will be hreat

Indeed it is today zub.

Sehwag, Bhaji and Munaf all miss out.

 

[evertonfan]

Shame, I would have liked to see Hoggard make Sehwag his bunny again.

no dhoni in the test side either. we must be favourites, both teams have average bowlers and ok batting but our bowlers edge over theres.
