Apparently Ganguly invited England to bat on the basis of past few matches record when England have won batting second and lost batting first.

Saby Bhai today I have decided not to have any expections, it just ruins your day, so irrespective of the out come, I am just going to enjoy the game.
Yes and India winning would help, but alas what can you say. About Ganguly putting England to bat, based on the last few matches, lets wait and see if England can break that trend, or if India can impose another defeat.
BTW Saby bhai did you read my message on the Ehsan Bhai thread, please do convey it to Ehsan Bhai.
Thanks Aejaz bhai, I have read your message. I will see if I can get it at the pharmacy. I am feeling better today and supporting my english team against you Indians. :D

well yeah expectations are never right, keep yourself to minimal level of expectations and it iwll hurt less. I dont expect Pakistan to win these days thats why I am always impressed by their performances :D
p.s yeah i just read it after you posted. I am sure he will read it himself in the evening though i will convey it to him anyway.
Glad to know you are feeling better Ehsan Bhai, coming back to you supporting the (YOUR) English team, looks like they need no ones support at this time, the Indian team is giving them all the required support.
just look a the score 37 off 7 overs which include 14 EXTRAS:frusty:
yes I am watching it on sky. One thing which is puzzling me. Looking at Pathan bowling, he is not half the bowler he was during the Indo/Pak series. What happened?
England off to a great start, 51-0 after 8 overs.

or Pak batting is not half as good as the English ? ;)
Welcome back Ehsan bhai - hope you are keeping good health...
I am having a feeling that Indian batting will click today.
ME Trescothick GONE> Harbajan Strikes.
Koi out hua, Ehsan Bhai Kaun out hua.
England lost thier first wicket after a great start, 71-1 in 12th over. Harbhajan strikes.
Vaughan's torrid oneday form continues, he is out caught behind off harbhajan, good catch by Dravid.
92-2
Strauss gone, England 98-3 (17 overs)
India back in it.
Strauss Gone
:bhangra: 
Solanki Gone
:bhangra:
So this pitch is good for spinners... and that means India will win this match as England don't have any good spinners.
106/4 in 21.0 Overs
