Re: India Tour of England 2011
9th wicket down. Ghambir gone.
India still has to get 14 runs to save inning defeat.
any guesses? 2-3 wild swings can save India from Inning defeat…
India has now lost 6 wickets for 15 runs.
Re: India Tour of England 2011

90.6
Swann to Sreesanth, OUT, 89.8 kph, that's it! Swann has six and England win 4-0. It's been a complete decimation. In every possible facet of the game England have been superior and Swann gets to finish the series by bowling Sreesanth! The England fielders jump, yelp and hug, they have had a stunning six weeks
Thats it. India lost by an Inning and 8 runs.
4-0 whitewash .......
I have to take my words back about Botham's prediction of 4-0 whitewash :)

Did he really predict a 4-0 clean sweep ?
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Indian misery finally over, atleast momentarily
Let's see how they fare in the ODIs
Re: India Tour of England 2011
From Cricinfo:
England win by an innings and 8 runs and win series 4-0 Plenty of smiles for England as they head off, each player gets a hug and a smile from Andy Flower as they go back into the dressing room, that doesn't come easily. England are officially the best team in Test cricket and India, after this loss, slip down to third. There was some fight this morning as Amit Mishra and Sachin Tendulkar flourished but when Mishra fell to offer a crack in the line up, England burst through violently. *Seven wickets fell for 21 runs to seal the clean-sweep. *

Yes he did.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Dont know that Botham predicted it But Vaughan predicted it for sure

Re: India Tour of England 2011
Mishra has been the star performer today. Sachin ki kismat mayn 100 centuries nahi theen iss series mayn 
Swann. world’s best spinner :k:
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Dhoni said “We played our best!”
Does he really believe that? 
Re: India Tour of England 2011
^ True. Mishra outperforms Raina and Sehwag. But he was in the side for his bowling wasn't he?
India needed world's best batsman to save them this match. Oh wait, the little god was there..too bad not only he let the country down but couldn't achieve a single century in 8 innings.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
How are Indian guppies coping with all of this?
Losing is fine but it's the manner of these losses which must be so disheartening for everyone. No fight - except for day 4 and day 5 (morning session) at The Oval - no ideas, no planning, no motivation, no commitment, nothing.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Did anybody saw Gavaskar whining about the Trophy on star cricket 
He and Ravi seems to be a mental case
Re: India Tour of England 2011
^ hilarious!
“..But it was certainly not nice to find Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi standing there and the captain being presented sponsors’ trophy,” fumed Gavaskar.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
What a disaster! 4-0 hammering. What an embarrassing moment for the Indian team, they are much much..much better than this. Plenty of questions to be asked after this performance. I missed most of the action due to travel plans but the scoreboards and commentaries make it obvious that nothing..absolutely nothing.. except Dravid.. worked in this series.
Congratulations to England. Well deserved #1 rank.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
I did not see the whining.. but I can’t find much to disagree with in the article you posted.
Lets hear your reasons why there should be two trophies and the person after whom the main trophy is named.. was ignored.
What would be the attitude of everyone if it was the BCCI who whored itself to a sponsor by having a second trophy?
