WILL INDIA THRASH ENGLAND?
After winning the Border Gavaskar trophy emphatically India will now face England for seven one day internationals which begins on Nov 14Th. England have already arrived for the tournament few weeks back. They have won their first warm up match against Mumbai Cricket eleven.
Andrew Flintoff made a sparkling century to lead the team to victory. They have managed to take eight opposition wickets. Kevin Petersen was named the captain in the South African series played at home. India should not be ruling out Petersen’s men as they have won 4-0 against South Africa at home. Both Petersen and Dhoni seem to be aggressive in approach and are similar in nature on the field. Both players don’t panic and play cool. England are also aware of the marvelous Indian performance.
Gautham Gambhir and Sehwag will open for India. India will be missing master batsmen Sachin Tendulkar for the first three one day internationals. He has been rested. England will be aware of this and will try to grab the opportunity.
Yuvraj Singh is not the vice captain. He has been dropped as vice captain due to his poor run. Will he be able to turn it against England? Only time can tell us. Virendar Sehwag is appointed as Dhoni’s deputy. Can Sehwag and Gambhir continue to give good starts? Ishant sharma is also going to miss out. This is also a huge blow for India. Good thing for England is they have Harmisson back. Their pace department is good. Flintoff is in top form. Interesting to see what tactics does England weave to win. The two teams clash on Nov 14Th at Rajkot. Watch live action on Neo Cricket.
