England wins the 1st ODI by 1 runs vs West Indies

At the last, England gets the test of win along side West Indies. Both the teams passed some nail biting moments at the end of the match. England’s 270 runs challenge felt WI in huge pressure from the first time. The main cause was the gloomy weather and strong wind. The ball took a lot of swim. The match result did not come as well but D/L method. 

The host was totally in pressure form the beginning and batted carefully losing early wicket. The second partnership threw them a stable partnership and S Chanderpaul’s batting dreamt then to take the series lead who took 26 runs in a single over of SJ Harmison. Later, the other batsmen were doing well every they were in the leading position before losing the last wicket. 

There is not doubt that the Englishmen played really amazing cricket that impressed all of them who loves cricket most. All sections batting, bowling and fielding were remarkable. Their main failure was, they did not take a good runs from that last 10 overs in spite of having 6 wickets in hands.

IPL T20, Andrew Flintoff and Ashes 2009

Ashes series is very prestigious for the Englishmen. The Ashes-2009 will be taken on from July-August 2009 after the Twenty20 World Cup 2009. It considers that Andrew Flintoff will be the key players for this season. England lost to Australia for 5-0 in the 2006-07 Ashes. But this year Australia is not in good form so it is a big opportunity to take revenge against the Australia. 

England tours of West Indies. They are now the middle point of the ongoing tour. Now, 4^th Test is going on. From the statistics of the previous matches, WI steps a head to take the series victory. But, in the 4^th test they have scored 600 runs just loosing 6 wickets.

Cricinfo reported:

Warne, though, felt England need not worry. "The Ashes will be the most important thing to Andrew Flintoff," Warne told Sky Sports News. "If the IPL is going to jeopardise him playing for England in the Ashes, then I don't think Andrew Flintoff will go to the IPL. He'll make sure he's 100% fit. If he thinks he's fit and he wants to go and play in the IPL, no problem at all."

 

English all-rounder, Andrew Flintoff has been kept out from the 4^th Test due to injury. He also signed up with the IPL T20 on the side of Chennai Super Kings. But, he is doubt to join in the IPL T20 second season. Now we have to wait for what the result come.
