England vs India 4th ODI: Indian Bowling and Fielding

The 4th ODI of NatWest Series will hold at Manchester. In the 3rd ODI between India vs England took place on Birmingham. Dear fans, you all see the match live in ESPN and DD-1 channel. I think you are not satisfied on the Indian player’s jobs. Sometimes you all annoyed on them.
For the 4th ODI, this performance is not well because in the first ODI England did 288 runs and beat India a long distance of 104 runs. In this match why England did so much runs? In BirminghamIndia won the touch and skipper Rahul Dravid selected the bat fast. All was favor to India including the fans who present in the stadium too, because large number of Punjab migrated there. the patch is favor form bowler,
The faults of Indian teams are despite of bowling favor pitch no fast bowler did not take any proper opportunity. The fielders missed four run out specially the stamping missed by MS Dhoni, two catches. But the movement of Yubarja was most important in that match. These non-responsible jobs made Indian week to England and did a long score of 281 runs.
I am not sure why India took more spinners in this match despite of knowing that Birmingham pitch was helpful for pacer. Why they did not take Ajit Agarker and why Dravid used more spinners.
The situation India made is not good for any responsible team. If India wants success in the next match specially, the 4th ODI. If they want to win 4th ODI of NatWest series at Manchester they need to think seriously about their bowling and fielding and responsibilities of the team members

England vs India 3rd ODI : Andrew Flintoff will not Play?

England’s all-rounder Andrew Flintoff got hit during the second match with India in County Ground, Bristol. After a long time gap he just has joined to the England team because he was in juried for his anklets problem. Again he hit by the advertisement board. During the match he tried to stop a boundary but did stop his speed and crashed with the Advertisement board and appeared pain in his knee.

Cric-info reported:

Flintoff crashed into an advertising board during India's innings attempting to stop a boundary and appeared in pain. He managed to complete his overs - taking a career-best 5 for 56 - and was able to bat at his normal No. 6 position. During England's run-chase the ECB said he was feeling some stiffness behind his knee and on Saturday he went for a scan.

He will be reassessed by the medical team on Sunday ahead of the third match in the series at Edgbaston on Monday. Flintoff is just two matches into his international comeback following ankle surgery, which has kept him out of the England side since the World Cup.


If he can’t play in the next match it will be enormous pressure for the England team. Depending on them England is doing well and if he can not attend in the match its may punished by Indian team. It will be a big shake to England in the NatWest Series.
