[the viscount]

With the 4th one day international due to start in Bangalore at 9am local. has any one news of the make up of the team, with sidebottom out for the rest of the tour who will be brought in.

with the likes of t bresnan ,Mendoza's friend from lanky SAJID Mahmood and L plunkett out in India with the performance squad will any of them be drafted into the one -day team. or perhaps mr moores will call in O Rayner being he likes the sussex conection ?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Even Moores is not biased enough to bring in Ollie!

England win the toss and elect to field first. so India bat with Tendulkar back in the line up England remain unchanged with the same team as the last match

Make or break with this game.

We don't seem to travel well these days

32 -0 of 6 overs at 6 at over not a very good start by england

This is looking good, Anderson and Broad turning the screw and keeping India down to 5 an over. Lets hope this slow scoring rate frustrates Sehwag and The Little Master and they do something silly and get out for 70's or 80's in about the 20th over

The little Master, gone !

Have we lost yet?

 

[vegster]

Looks like Tendulkar was told to get himself out due to his slow scoring rate.... nice to see the rate pick up a bit, It's nice to see India trying to post a big score as its so much more exciting chasing down 300 +

Raining will this get us a draw ?

The ollie rayner comment may become a reality next year if mushy continues to work with him,hopefully he may get the chance to wear a england shirt with or without the Moores connection. Anderson looks like a sunday club bowler at the moment,strange how for a fantastic swing bowler he is pitching the ball half way down the track!

Play resumes after a 2 hour rain delay india now on 104-1 of 16 0vers match now reduced two 44 overs each.

Strange that a 2 hour delay only results in a total of 12 overs lost for the 2 sides ?

 

[Taybha]

and there off for light drizzle! ffs

 

[vegster]

This could end up a cracker !

Match reduced to 22 overs a side, India 106-1 off 17 ... I would pitch 170 as their final score which would mean we have to score just over 7 an over to win... we could do this !

I'd go along with that. No Flintoff, Broad or Anderson so We'll have to rely on the spinners and mediums/part timers. Whatever happens, it's going to be a slogfest

 

[vegster]

Sehwag gone .. thank god !

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Indians on the slog now, great to watch

 

[vegster]

OOOPS ! TMS have just mentioned that due to the D/L method, we will have to score more than the Indians... by some margin.. sigh.... 4-0
