England in India 2012-13

I know it's early days for Root but he opens for his county, perhaps he should swap places with Compton and Compton for Bell who has had terrible form for a long time.

 

My top 6 selection would be Root to open with Cooky,
then Trott,Pieterson,Compton, Bairstow or Morgan
Bell needs a break.

 

Bell is great in the field though.

That catch off Pujara was class.

 

Class comeback from England in the final session.

 

Cook's wrongly been given out twice in this match, I expect they had to do that to make a game of it.

 

It really is inexcusable giving Cook out wrongly in both innings. No leg to stand on for the umpire. Good work from England still . India's intimidatory tactics are embarrassing

 

Excellent result today.
To come from 1-0 down and win series is brilliant.
Good to see the Bears duo come good.

Indian team looks a right shambles.To many aging "super stars"

Cook,Swan,Monty and Anderson absolute top drawer.

Looking forward to Aussies in Summer,got my Trent Bridge
tickets - can't wait

 

Great test series and great performance by England.

Back to earth with a bump in the T20 though (not that it matters much). Could do with our best player, Pietersen, in the side. He and Morgan add momentum to the innings and with both in the side then you've hope that at least one will come good.

 

Morgan gets a few and England win...just. Really struggled in the middle of the innings, should have been a more comfortable chase after such a great start.

 

England get a decent score of 325 in the first ODI. Strangely, number 4 Root never batted, so why pick him? Could have picked a 5th bowler.

 

How priceless were those 37 runs off the last 2 overs!

 

Another dreadful batting performance from England, Bairstow/Bopara and Prior in for Morgan and Kieswetter.
