Can smash the ball all around the ground. India should bowl spin first up to him
Yep in the bagLast year we chased down 300 here against this very Dernbach, Bresnan lot.
258 should be easy.
I can't fault Finn and Tredwell this tour; what has not happened is the other guys backing them up and creating a bowling unit.
This needs to change for us to have a chance today.
james how do u rate jadeja's bowling?10 overs 3/39.
would have got root as well if raina had not dropped a dolly.
This is one boring series. And we play this tripe each year it seems.
Shoulda played a couple of tests against Pakistan. Even if we lost or drew the series, at least they're tests.
Or even an ODI series against Lanka would give us more competition.
Hahahahah just saw the teams, good job destroying another good prospect and replacing him with a once talented player pre ipl.Incidentally, Rahane scored a 91 in the game I was talking about at Mohali against England last year, chasing 50 more than what we're chasing today.
Still maintain that he shouldn't have been dropped.
Gah wth is with Jadeja getting so much attention? The guy is such a rubbish player made to look good by the english..
Please dont forget the result of the last ODI series you played in England. This tripe beat you 3-0.
Quality cricketer. Don't know why he's hated. Many LOI teams are crying out for a guy who can contribute 8-10 overs of effective spin and score a fifty under various circumstances.
Not sure he's Test class, needs more of a sample and observation to discover this.
But great for the LOIs.
Saw him in the tour to Aus, he was absolutely rubbish consistently got hit by the Aussie batsmen.England last year beat Pakistan 4-0 in UAE, beat Australia 4-0 in England, comfortably beat West Indies who otherwise had a resurgent year.
I am wondering then - why is doing well against England not rated?
Please dont forget the result of the last ODI series you played in England. This tripe beat you 3-0.
yeah the only thing holding him back for tests is his batting,which is just not test class imo.if he could improve that i'd definetly thing he could do a good job as an all rounder in tests.
as his bowling is tight most of the times
Yep, but was talking about England in India. Look at the last series played here. Or the one before that. Or the one bef....you get the idea.
Yep England definitely have a problem playing ODI series in India. Interestingly this doesnt seem to spread to the rest of Asia or to T20 matches. Fancy our chances in Champions Trophy in England this summer. With 2 new balls I expect many games to play out like mini test matches.
Problem is he only performs against England. It's worse than Gambhir, Sharma only scoring runs against Lanka.
And of course, he shouldn't be anywhere near the test team. I'll go as far as to say that Yuvraj is a better pick.
Hahahahah just saw the teams, good job destroying another good prospect and replacing him with a once talented player pre ipl.
i'd definetly take yuvraj as a batsman over sir jaddu even in tests.but if it was only for bowling i think i might be tempted to go with sir jadz.
innings abt to start..
with dernbach, bresnon, and tredwell in the team.. england chances to defend this are very skim!
