England v India *Official Thread*

[Si Gull]

Another innings victory. Men against boys, I'm afraid.

 

[Cantona's Flying Dropkick]

283ao

England win by inns & 8 runs

 

[Hove Seagull]

We're f*****g brilliant!

 

[Simster]

Well done England. Four nil. Easy.

But don't forget Bangladesh are absolutely shit and I should imagine it'll be much tougher when we play India later this summer.






What?

 

[Badger]

I think the correct term is SPANKED

 

[keaton]

We win 4-0 but Dravid for player of the series?

Destroyed

England 2809 for 47 wickets (and 4 declarations)
India 2044 for 80 wickets

 

[Simster]

We win 4-0 but Dravid for player of the series?

Or maybe Stuart Broad for 25 wickets at 13.8 apiece, including a hattrick?

Bell and Pietersen both scored more runs than Dravid from two fewer innings.

Edit: Broad also average over 60 with the bat!

It has to be Broad for PotS.

 

[Falkor]

My man of the series has to be Swann, or Bell, but i think we just found our sports personality of the year team.

He only had the fourth highest batting average in the series...
Batting averages
1. Pietersen 533 runs @ 106.60
2. Bell 504 @ 84.00
3. Bresnan 154 @ 77
4. Dravid 461 @ 76.83
5. Prior 271 @ 67.75

Bowling averages
1. Khan 2 wickets @ 9.00
2. Broad 25 @ 13.84
3. Bresnan 16 @ 16.31
4. Anderson 21 @ 25.71
5. Kumar 15 @ 29.53

For me Man of the Series would be Stuart Broad, top wicket taker and also got 182 runs @ 60.66.

 

[Falkor]

Man of the match Bell yeah had to be him or Swann really

 

[Falkor]

Broad England player of the Series

 

[keaton]

I would have had Broad second just, but Dravid's runs have been scored against an insanely good England attack with no-one else supporting him most of the time, whereas England have disposed of an average attack and always had support

Dravid got India player of the series

How do the world rankings work?
I've just seen the table that says we are top, but we have played 16 more matches than South Africa in second place.
Doesn't seem fair, but I'll take it

Boycott needs to shut his trap. On TMS, he said lump on England scoring more than 600 in their first innings, and they declared on 583, or whatever it was
