The venue of the 7th match of the NatWest Series between India and England is Lord's Cricket Ground. It is well known to the cricket lover in the world as the home of Cricket. According to the history, cricket was invented from this ground. The 7th and final match of the seven matches NatWest series is going to take place at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Saturday, 4 September 2007.
Ground History: I will not discuss more about Lord’s Cricket Ground, just a simple on it. The ground was established on 1814. The capacity is 30000. First test match played England v Australia - Jul 21-23, 1884 and first ODI played England v Australia - Aug 26, 1972. As I am describing about the ODI so I will not mention more about Test Match. 44 ODI played here form 1972. If you want to know more just visit lords website, wikipedia, circinfo etc.
Weather Reports: According to the weather forecast report, it will be partly cloud and temperature will be High: 23° and Low: 13°. As the match will be held by day so this temperature is well for cricket. I think according to the cricket language this weather will help the pacer most.
Winning Rate: Among the 44 ODI matches England took part in 36 matches and won 17 matches with the different cricket teams in the world. But the wining rate with India is not good. England and India faced each other 5 times but England beat India only one time. On the other hands India faced with England 5 times and won 4 times. So the wining rate is favor to India. Anyway, we can not come to the result by depending on this statistic. As the 7th match of the NatWest series is important to both the team. For the final result we have to wait for Saturday. Will it hold its history or break the history?
Lord’s is the last venue of the NatWest Series-2007 between India and England. In the seven match series the result is 3-3. Lord’s will dismiss the result who is the winner of that series.
Who will Win the NatWest Series?
After winning the last math, at Oval, India comes to 3-3 of the seven match series of NatWest series. Last match, 6th match was played at Oval and India won this match. So you should understand that the 7th match is important both the teams. Everyone is thinking that who will able to achieve the crown of the victory. I you will say Indian will but I think England is not lees important than India because they are not less important than India if you look over the previous matches. For the final result we have to wait for Lord’s match where the 7th match of the NatWest will take place.
If we observe the last six matches we can consider easily that India has lost three. Why did they loose? What was the main fact of their defeat? In the every match their main fault was the early downfall of the top order batsman and the non-responsible fielding and other big cause was the slow movement of running between the wickets. The last mach India won and the man of the match award went on Sachin Tendulkar. In an interview with the commentaries he was asked about the slow movement for running between the wickets. Sachin answered cleverly that 4 and 6 increase the run rate but single run is important for a match. Indian skipper Rahul Dravid also answered some questions of the commentaries that were important.
In the last match between India and England, Indian batting, bowling and fielding performance was very good except Yuvraj one over. I discussed on my articles in many time that if India control the fielding and top order batsmen’s early downfall then they could covey all the impossible to possible. It is very good example the last match. If India keens to do well on the 7th or final match at Oval Cricket Ground then they have to follow this theory which was brought success on 6th match.
I think, Indian supporters are praying for their favorite team. No doubt that India did well for their good movement on the last match. It is proved that India can do everything. The 7th match will select who will be the series winner of he seven matches NatWest series.
England was in a step before the 6th match of the ongoing Natwest series. They also own three matches too. They tried to come concluding on the 6th match but Indian batting stopped them and told that we will come to conclusion at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. But I think that the previous they played very not good it is best. As everything has a result so as a result they had to loose three matches. It does not mean that they did not play well. I think these will inspire them to do well as well as raise their hope to win the 7th or final match too. Now Lord’s Cricket Ground will bring the final result. We can easily guess that English’s conditions were very well. If we make a short look on the previous matcher, we easily can see that in the first they defeat seriously India by 104 runs. On the second match, although they lost to India but it was 9 runs and they did 320 runs. In the third match they did only 282 but India did not reached to the target for their strong bowling and fielding. In the fourth match England’s lower order batsman basically bowler’s job was like a middle order bats man. On 114 they lost 7 wickets but the two batsmen strong and steady performances reached England to the target without loss. As a result England defeated India by 3 wickets. That’s mean the can do anything anytime. What will be the position of the England team what happened in their fate in the next match of the NatWest series?
Both the team will fight in strong strength at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. Now their position is 3-3 so we can not think now who will win. Who will ware the victory of crown? Just wait for 8 September 2007.

Indian Keens to win the Series!
After winning the last match, now India has become strong in mentally. Now they are thinking to win the NatWest series. Yes, they can think because of their very good performances and the top order batsmen’s back to the form.
Times of India has posted a bid article on it. In this article it has described the reflection of Rahul Dravid who is the skipper of Indian team. India then seemed to be cruising as Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly put on 150 for the first wicket, only for the momentum to tip back England's way after a series of wickets.
Robin Uthappa, though, kept his nerve amid the chaos, scoring an unbeaten 47 to win the game with two balls to spare.
"We got a bit of the rub of the green, but we have shown a lot of resilience after a long tour," Dravid went on. "It should be a cracker of a game at Lord's."
He had particular words of praise for his much-decorated opening duo.
"When you're chasing 320 you need to get off to a good start," Dravid said.
"They got 150 which make a big difference - especially on a slow wicket when you know it'll get harder to play shots.
If India wants to win the series then the top order batsman Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly needs to play a responsible match like the 6th ODI. Robin Uthappa’s performance also inspires them to do well.
