Re: England In India
India's Squad for the ODI
India Squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, RP Singh, Virat Kohli, M Vijay
No Tendulkar as he requested being rested due to the heavy workload.
Yusuf Pathan makes his return to the ODI squad as Praveen Kumar, Parthiv Patel and Irfan Pathan are the absentees from the team that played in the last ODI series against Sri Lanka.
Vijay also gets a run after debuting in the last test match for India against the Aussies
The English squad that is touring is:
Pieterson (C), Flintoff, Anderson, Bell, Bopara, Broad, Collingwood, Cook, Harmison, Patel, Prior, Shah, Sidebottom, Swann and Wright.
The campaign began with the English easily accounting for a Mumbai eleven, Flintoff hitting 100* off 84 balls, Shah 83. Wicket takers included Anderson who took 3-15
Good start to their tour but I feel that India will be too strong espcially coming off their series win against us Aussies.

Re: England In India
England went down by 124 runs in their latest warm-up game. I think that's all that really needs to be said.

Re: England In India
No shame in being destroyed by cricketing dynamos like K Waingankar and RG Shaik, who share 1 first-class game between them.
Waiting for the obligatory Peter Moores "The lads are disappointed but there are lots of positives" sound bite. England, don't ever change

Re: England In India
It'll come good, can see them losing the test series 1-0, I don't really care that much about the ODI's (of which 7 is far too many).

Not sure on the finer points of it, but basically the BCCI get more money from playing more ODO's and less tests

Re: England In India
It was a deal between the BCCI and ECB. Basically, BCCI make more cash from the shorter forms of the game and the ECB wanted the players home in time for Xmas.
I'm sure that there was some kind of deal brokered during the series in England as well, so that there were more tests in England.

Re: England In India
Not really. 7 ODI's is just overkill. 5 ODI's and 3 tests would have been the ideal compromise.

Re: England In India
Dont know why the hell England is already back there, been only about 2 years since the last tour
Stupid scheduling by India, but obviously hoping by a short series they can steal a win and draw the other, the tests will be decided by the toss, more than usual due to the short series
As for the ODIs, who really cares? Might pull off a few early wins as the Indians continue celebrating their test series win over Aus

Re: England In India
1st ODI - India v England at Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground, Rajkot
India XI: Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, *+ MS Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Munaf Patel
England XI: Ian Bell, +Matthew Prior, Owais Shah, *Kevin Pietersen, Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff, Samit Patel, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Stephen Harmison, James Anderson
Game is well underway. England won the toss and chose to bowl first but that decision hasn't paid off at this stage with India 0/93 after 16 overs. Gambhir and Sehwag have opened well scoring 46 and 39 respectively. Flintoff has the the only fast bowler to limit the runs scoring with the other three quicks going for 5+ runs per over.
