England V India Clash of the Heavyweights Test, T20 and ODI Series

Interesting finish in prospect here, England should get the runs providing they don't lose too many wickets but India still well in it.

Need Bopara and Trott to do most of the donkey work not much international batting experience behind them.

Trott out. Brilliant knock by him today. Simply supports my view that he's a great ODI player.

Nice knock so far from Bairstow - apparently he is the next big thing.

TheCenturion · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:08

I really hope India win. I feel like they've really given it all this match.

Psycho Ned · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:11

Looks like England have found a new Morgan! This lad Bairstow has come in and he's spanking it all over the ground!

ringo747 · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:12

He looks very similar to Kevin O'Brien!

My thoughts exactly :eek:

Wow here - this lad really can bat.

One More Solo · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:18

Crappy Bopara to take us home?! :eek:

rotters · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:20

loving this new fella style! anyone for a game of baseball? has he been considered for the T20 games??

Psycho Ned · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:21

Decent batting effort from India this game but with all the bowling injuries their bowling attack is just dross!

Think they'd need to score 350 to defend with these bowlers!

TheCenturion · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:22

Right, just getting the knife ready to slit my wrists...

TheCenturion · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:26

To be an Indian fan at this time.

elmuzzy66. · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:26

Don't think some the indian players will ever want to come back to these shores in a hurry

Psycho Ned · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:27

Great fella is Dravid first one to shake hands and congratulate the new lad on his knock.

True gent of the game and about the only Indian to get on the plane with his head held high from this tour!

rotters · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:27

well a complete white wash and none of us thought that would have happened a few months ago, but the England Cricket team are really on fire! looking forward to the next few games against a less injured team to see what we really are made off!

I think MS Dhoni can with the bell issue. was a great moment of sportsmanship. you can contest it all you like but I think it was.

But you are right Dravid is such a nice fella, true ambassador for the sport.

LOAM · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:31

I'm a bit gutted for Dravid, his effort this summer has been outstanding. He really can go home with his head held high and he's such a humble chap to boot.

TheCenturion · 16 Sep 2011 at 22:32

Without wishing to be pessimistic, I think that the England test team is doing brilliantly, but I really don't think that this ODI win was all that impressive from England. The weather and the injuries really hampered India, and no I'm not just fishing for excuses or anything, they really did impact this series a lot.
