Dernbach's just been giving marching orders back to SA...

Or the lad could save his career by turning into a spinner, his stock delivery is slower one anyways :D

Maybe he could do better than Paul Adams .....
 
MoS is MSD.

Has he got a MOM in this series? if not then it will be an interesting decision to get MoS when someone has not got a single MoM.
 
LOL even though Pakistanis have been supporting the English against us, i will support Pakistan against England. Definitely :akhtar

That's a very Pakistani kind answer. :)

The crowd can be very bad but you don't see them booing every opposition.

Doesn't really matter, your booing alaistar Cook and the English team because of the pounding you recieved in England.

Could be could be

or could be Bressie's "if you dont like it here, eff off"

and all the eff's and c's Eng players have been muttering and chuntering
 
Congrats India, great victory.

I don't think India could have achieved this result with Teendu in the lineup, just a thought.

Just my opinion, I don't think Teendu is a match winner, he always plays for his hundred hence slowing the run rate and also taking a spot of a much deserving youngster, plus with his 100 100 hype the Indian team would have lost focus just the way they did in England. Wouldnt you agree?

yah, just like they lost their focus in the world cup semi final and again in final ?

Your bet is becoming very obvious :)

You's right mate, ICC would have declared the result 6-0 with an additional win just for having Teenda :D

Thank you very much for your commentary here. Much enjoyed and appreciated but the above statement is wrong. England got boo'ed and deservedly so for their players whinging all through this series. Indian team copped a lot of booing and abuse in England this year, especially during the Bell incident and it was only expected that their team will be paid back by the same coin in India.

He choked in both games, Yuvraj, Zaheer, Raina and Dhoni were the real stars of the world cup for guys, as Greg Chappel said Teendu is fragile and he melts under pressure. The amount of time he gets out in the 90s not only proves his fragile mentality but also shows how much Teendu cares about stats and values personal accomplishment over team results.

Thank you and okay.
 
Pity there isn't any test matches. Would have been interesting to see whether No.1 England could play a tad better in the longer format in India.
 
Well, that was interesting.

It's not preparation that is the problem, though they were a couple of key men down in Morgan and Broad.

Must be some collective mental block.

The one England player who has advanced his cause is Finn. This series could be the making of him.

Finn hasn't been that impressive. He's been quicker and bowled better, but don't think he'll be a long term ODI option. Expect Broad and Anderson to return. And quite frankly Woakes did pretty well in the past, so I expect him back. Maybe Shehzad too.

You're biggest plus, though he gets unnoticed is Samit. The guy seems to be getting better each game, and now becoming pretty handy with the ball. Looks like the best no.7 for a long time. Much better than Wright or Yardy.

Finn is certainly huge plus. Finn, Broad and Anderson and Swann would make it a good bowling side in ODIs. I might leave Anderson out of team and bring Bresnan when England is playing on flat tracks outside sub-continent. He is not good in ODIs especially in death overs. Dernbach shouldn't play any match in near future. Maybe you can find someone much better than Anderson.

England's batting line-up is not suited for ODIs. Only good ODI middle order batsman I see in this team is Trott. He is one player who can hold one side and score at decent rate. Kieswetter needs to given role of going after the bowling right from the start. I would like to see some big hitters for no 6 and 7. Bell isn't an ODI player. When Morgan returns to this side, batting will look lot better than what it is now. Still not sure about Samit Patel's batting. Can he play the role of a hitter at those positions consistently?

Ya, England sure did miss Strauss, Morgan and Broad. Although it does seem that Anderson was dropped.

However they got saved from an even bigger phainty, thanks to the absence of a few key Indian players.
 
Bopara and KP disappointed the most. I had this feeling that they would enjoy the SC conditions.

Eh 5-0 as expected *yawn*.... I'll be supporting pakistan when they'l play against england.... Pakistan! Thrash them as hard as you could! Too bad no test for us.
 
How many people believe Teendu's injury is a blessing to team India? With Teendu in the lineup noway in hell India would have trashed England. :sachin is a curse when it comes to winning.
 
^Mr.Ignorant , Tendulkar was part of the team that beat England 5-0 in 2008 :facepalm:
