India Vs england 4th Odi+ Players inclusion and exclusion

matters just keep on getting worse...dont they? well lets just say..sachin tendulkar comes back in the indian team...and indian team ends up with a swiping series win 4-0 against england....3 more games to go..india is going to experiment with its team and england are trying to get back their glory..i dont see that happening thouggh..tendulakr who is in form just joined the team..and he is the "God Of Cricket"..like poeple title him.....so we will just wait and watch if he is teh pomne clinching teh series away or is sehwag teh one...or is yuvraj still on his rock...even dhoni can be slipping the victory under englands nose...we never knwo whats next for those english players??
teh bowling attack isnt bad either..i mean i am sure zaheer khan is goin to be given soe3m rest...but allrounder irfan pathan is coming in..he has been kicked out of teh team since a whiel and the quality player that he is...would be waiting to get back into teh team...
anywyas..so teh 4th odi..was more so like a 2020 game.....india started off thinkin they would play 42 overs.....but in their 14 th over their was rains reducing it to 32 overs a side..s.o sehwag and gambhir started to fire a little...then rains again in the 17th over..because of which india couldnt take its own powerplay and so the game was reduced to 21 overs a side...coming back on field with 108/1 in 17 overs.....sehwag went crazzzy....he hit teh bowlers all over the ground for 1 over before getting out...then we had yuvi coming in and hitting an unbeaten 25 from 11 deliveries..dhoni supported him for a while before getting out and then yusuf pathan teh only ball he played went for a six..india ending up with a total of 166...but since they didnt get a say in their powerplays and didnt have ny clue about hwo many overs they play until the end of tyheir innings....englands target was curbed to 198 accdn to D/L method rules...england started off badly..until bell and pietersen helped england out...and then flintof came in to make it a very close game...until teh point where england needed just 35 off teh last 3 overs..but then zaheer han and team just stopped england right there......getting flintoff resulting into englanding loosing the game by a mere margin of 17 runs...we definitely will look out for pietrsen and flintoff in teh next game that india plays....ohh my god..india won teh trophy..now its just a matter iof whitewashing the england team/...its gonna be a fun series ahead...wow.....

India Vs England 3rd odi

yet another way to win teh game....it was a great game ...england for the first tiem in teh series got sooo close to winning a game..but then by D/L method due to rains...india won teh odi...but kevin pietersen is pissed off right now....
he thinks it is very unfair off the icc umpires to not let them use teh lighst on teh playground ven though teh lights were available.....that was a horrible decision to make on teh umpires part...even though they tried to make sure we could see as much off teh game as possible they didnt switch on teh lights......so they messed the lights up......and so not much play was poossible....england made 235 in their 49 overs..and india needed 236 to win in their 49 overs....india was going slow and steady until rains started showing up every now and then....dhoni liek a smart captain looked at the D/L chart and manipulated teh game in such a way teh they score just enough runs to stay on teh edge and dont loose wickets...yuvraj and dhoni made sure that this happens./...besides that dhoi made sure until teh end that he stays on teh crease......until unless the end of the game....so when india needed 108 off just 90 balls he cracked the innings up with yuvraj singh...and brought teh asking rate down to 60 runs in 72 balls before yuvraj singh was struck out by andrew flintoff...first time in teh series someone could get yuvi...anywasy,...there ghoes his maiden centurry,...but he did make an 52....then dhoni stepped up with yusuf pathan to hit another 30 runs iin just 18 balls before D/L ptched in to declare india teh clear winner!!!!

India Vs England 2nd odi

india won the 2ndf odi and once again teh star iof the show was yuvraj singh with an unbeatable 129 and then taking 4 wickets in the bowling to just rip off the england top orde4r...besides yuvraj gambhir showed soem of his talent to stick around in teh team.....another player to stick around was dhoni...this was all on two paced track...where india were lagging off at 29 for 3...what a comeback...and then they ripped off the england batting qith seamers liek zaheer restrictinfg their total and spinners liek sehwag yuvraj and bhajji turningthe game around...what a game to watch.....next game coming up sooon..yuvraj looking forward to make another record off 3 straight hundreds back to back.....bhajji acheiving his feat off 200 wickets is going to calm a lil bit...next odi we are goin to see some action from rp singh and ishant sharma too!!!so m eagerly waiting for the next game...

India won the first odi against england

hey guys...india scored like 387 runs against england..their record bestt........sehwag and gambhir started off nicely with a 137 run partnership...and then raina and yuvraj carried on..for almost another 100 odd runs....well..then yuvi caaught fire and he went up to a 100 in just 62 balls and then 137 in just 74 balls.his fastest and the second fastest by any indian..india scored its record total on thsi ground...and dhoni managed to get some 40 odd runs at the end....too...well indian sbatted really nicely and so there were rumours about this just being a great pitch about batting...but apparently not.....england was just not into its right gear....well the indian peak bowlersd in teh form of zaheer and munaaf...took 5 wickets in the firts 10 overs...crackling up teh top order...when half the team was back in pavillion...that was teh time when the captain pietersen stood in the way of indias victory..and offered some resistance..with part time batsmens...but on a day like this, like pietersen puts it "you just cannot do much"....and so england ended up loosing the game by almost 150 runs..one of their biggets losses....even with flintoff joining the side...we hope india goes on with the same momentum..and england has something better to give to india in teh next odi.....so that its a close competetion and a fun to watch game....

Looking Forward

i am really looking forward to india england odi series......i am awaiting to see teh performances of key players like yuvraj singh and uthappa and sharma...who were left behind for teh test series.....also am awaiting to see how sachin tendulkar performs when he os teh only senior in teh team...also waiting to see newcomer mishra in one day matches..lotsof things to look forward to...not to ignore englands desperation to get back to their best...flintoffs struggle and pietersens great abilities....lets see where the series takes us down to...

India won the 4th test and the series 2-0!!!

india beat australia in teh fourth and final test to regain the border gavaskar trophy....it looked liek australia is going to pull the trophy away from teh indians...by winning teh game......the way they went aggressive on teh fifth and final day of the test match...but it all leveled out when indian bowlers pitched in with a bunch of wickets each....following up with great performances from quality players like gautam gambhir, and also teh newcomer for the game. india also managed to atack on teh foutrh day after a lead of just 61 runs....also australians were very nice at fighting indians back until teh end of day 3..i believe they lost the game with the attacking nature of sehwag...commenst???

THe third test match is drawn

The third test match between india and australia was drawn recently, which basically was whatthe match deserved. in the beginning it looked like india was going to pull teh edge and it stood agreat chance of winning.,..but as teh match went on, australia came back strongly, specially some crucial partnerships between hayden and katich. for more information on thsi subject please go on to cricinfo.com
