Bro Cheetah, I appreciate your posting the match information. And it's nice to see the Indian flag although I think it was, or rather a request for its icon, was the object of strife here some time ago? Anyway, good work.

The request for the jhanda has been put on hold for an indefinite period of time due to the requestor departing the scene immediately after the conclusion of the rivalry series. :D

  • Andrew Flintoff faced calls on Tuesday to step down for the remainder of the one-day series in India where the travelling British media was particularly worried about star all-rounder Flintoff, who is leading the side in the absence of the injured Michael Vaughan.

  • “There are many reasons to be concerned about England’s one-day side …selection, skill levels, morale…”* said the Daily Telegraph.

  • “But the biggest worry of all must be Andrew Flintoff. While other senior players rest at home, England’s Atlas is carrying this arduous tour on his shoulders. Flintoff is not the kind of man who would ever put himself before the team. But perhaps the England management should consider doing exactly that. It cannot be worth flogging their prize asset through the whole series.”*

Flintoff’s anguish at the team’s performance in the Goa heat “was painful to see,” wrote the Telegraph’s correspondent.

  • “When he took a wicket, he winced. When he lost his own – going down on one knee for a slog to deep midwicket – he held the pose, then put a hand up to cover his face.”* Asked what was going through his head as he lingered on the pitch, Flintoff replied: “What do you think? It’s not appropriate to repeat here.” “The lads are desperate to win,” Flintoff said later. “It is a mountain to climb now but they want to do it and so do I.”

  • “In the Test arena we look confident, arrogant and organised,”* Lloyd told The Guardian.

  • “But it’s the complete opposite in one-day cricket. There’s a real uncertainty about the way we play the one-day game and I know (coach) Duncan Fletcher will be very annoyed at the lack of organisation.”*

  • “This is a seriously accident-prone team,”* said Jones, referring to missing stars like Vaughan, Marcus Trescothick, Simon Jones and Steve Harmison.

Worse, Kevin Pietersen was forced to miss Monday’s match with a stomach ailment, not the first to fall to such avoidable bugs.

  • “Never have I seen so many injuries and illnesses in a touring team, it is quite bizarre,”* said Jones. “I also think the selectors are not reading the conditions. Why on earth was (spinner) Gareth Batty kept out for the third match? Bad selection cost England the game in Goa.”

Flintoff under pressure as England wilt

In other news:

  • Kapil Dev has presented a comprehensive blueprint to BCCI for the development of the game in the country, as he unveiled his “development of Cricket in India - A Vision”, costing about Rs 130 million, at the recent BCCI special committee meeting here.

His vision includes developing 200 pitches at 40 different venues that would require Rs 90 million as one-time costs and another Rs 39.6 million towards operating costs.

Why Gambhir?, Kaif should have been dropped: Former ex-Indian skipper Ajit Wadekar and Sandeep Patil

Aamir Sohail, Navjut Sidhu, and now these two…

^^ lol u cant be serious.... Yuvraj has just started playing one-dayers fulltime and Munaf Patel is going to be given chances down the road...Pathan will become a better all-rounder and Dhoni will become a better batsman....while Dravid will still be the wall and Sehwag, the new danger-man ..... Tendulkar might actually regain form......

GO INDIA GO!!

p.s: why do u guys root against India...its not like i post negative comments about the Paki team in their game threads....
