I would like to congratulate the Indian team on the no:1 ranking which was missed in T20 by a last ball six from Morgan.I still believe we are much better in limited overs.Forget what happened in tests and cheer for Team India in upcoming LOIs which are more attractive.

agree with you except for the last sentence. Test win is more attractive than limited over win for cricket lovers.
It won't be easy for England to beat new ODI number 1 ranking team India. Indian seamers are better to utilize the swing condition. India need just one change. Bring Pujara in.

Re: DRS & INDIAN UMPIRE

DRS also helped Pakistan in ODI series and England in test series. Yuvraj Singh also got bad decision. That's how it works. Even with DRS, in SL Vs Aus game, there were many bad decisions. Umpiring quality has to improve. Things like DRS are there for tech companies to make money from BCCI.
There are too many passengers in this English team barring two or three players ,at best ,rest are all passengers . We know English teams over the years have not given too much importance to 20-20 or one day matches like Indians have not given any importance to anything other than IPL Tamasha .

haha, good one :) I am shocked at England's schedule this year. Total overdose of playing New Zealand & Australia in back-to-back meaningless series(somewhere inbetween, there is 1 match with Lanka and 1 with Ireland). If they qualify for semis & finals of the champions trophy, max 2 matches with other teams. Else, it is Aus & NZ who play the max against them.

Raghu, let me know when the last time these guys performed well in an ODI and then decide whether it is a-grade, b-grade or c-grade.
Irfan Pathan could have made the team stronger, but he is presently nursing an injury & campaigning for Narendra Modi. Shami & Bhuvi are too good now. But they should not go the "Ishant Sharma" way.
england as better team, india player not take lightly both two oneday,spinners not in well performance,not taking couple of wickets in home conditions.
