so Ravi will have to work extra to prove otherwise. Because Ian botham has given 4-0 verdict against india. clever move by angrez.

With zaheer not recovering, seems like it could not be easy for india until we try two spinners. 2 pacer plus one swinger cum batsmen like Irfan.
And be fired up like Angrezi are.

It does not matter

In the late 1970's/early 80's we all used to joke whether Clive Lloyd was a great captain or not.West Indies were so strong then that they could win against any team on any pitch or any Condition. The standard phrase was "he sets 3 slips,2 gullies and 2 short legs and then hands the ball over to whoever is closest to him" because, honestly, it did not matter whether Marshall or Holding or Garner
or Croft was given the new ball..the opposition did not have a chance.
In the same way..it does not matter whether X or Y or Z comes into the England team.The fact is that our master gillidandites are going to get thrashed.As I have said so many times in the last few days...Call off the tour.These large defeats and getting larger by the match is beginning to affect the psyche of the Nation. Not good.

There is a Sikh (Ravi Bopara) in British team, but not even a single sikh in the Indian team.

Selection should be based of performance,not based on religion.And Harbhajan who is not performing anything from past 2 years will also be dropped.

Trott replaced by a bowler in playing 11
by Naveen Kumar on Aug 06, 2011 06:42 PM

The batting strength by allrounders(Genuine) like Broad & Bresnan has paved way for bringing another fast bowler in tremlett. They are in advantageous position by trott getting injured unlike India, where the team looks playing second best team after england.
