He says, fielding caused the losses. Asper him, his own batting performanse (60, 0, 3) or Kieswitter's (7, 0, 36) or Bopara's (8, 36, 24) have nothing to do with it. Three matches put together there are only 4 half centuries and no centuries. Infact 1st two ODIs they managed only one half century.
Problem for English team in this series has been batting. Apart from KP and Trott, none of them looked even decent forget threatening.
After the series has been won, India should also plan for longer term.
When India allows rabbits because they get more wickets, they cannot expect to produce cheetahs. Wihen Broad was hit all over by Yuvi, angrez put efforts to develop Broad into a better bowlers.
What does it mean, Indian have hardly focussed to develop Yadav or Aaron or Ishant into better bowlers. They are thinking of getting low speed bowlers like Arvind, Mithun, vijay, etc. In short run, these bowlers will be good. but in foreign pitches, these players will be busted. At-least, one pitch in India should be batting and bowling pitch for fast bowlers like Yadav, Aaron, etc so they can be developed for play videshi teams.
For india - If you do not know how to develop leopards, you will end up getting rabbits. Not denying that slow bowlers and spinner have role, but desh should have variety ready.

continued .. also, desi batting needs to face quality fast pace and spin for domestic match and practice so they can face videshi bowling.
Who cares whatever justification you people give. As the result is you lost and well played Indian youngsters. We had similar situation in England where rain ruined chances and disallowed India to carry momentum in ODIs. On the other hand in test matches they were without many key players. But so what? that was the attitude of English media. Now can we call English team bunch of monkeys who can bat, bunch of donkeys who can somehow field, and bunch of horses who can bowl. :):):)
