Less-than-decent seamers bowled out your star lineup in the recent tests, eh?
I'm not saying they, Zaheer in particular, didn't bowl very well in the Test series, but if you look at all the evidence prior to the series (and the 50 overs since), none of them are anything special. If you judge everybody on their best series, then everyone's a complete gun.

So good to see big Fred in the field again ... I'll be nervous when he comes on to bowl though, I hope he doesn't try for full-out pace straightaway. He might need to share a spell with Mascarenhas and Collingwood, perhaps.

Oh dear, Monty ...

Sachin has played so many blistering drives straight to the fielder. Its amazing really.

Gambhir's dismissal was so predictable. The minute he had played out 5 dot balls I knew he'd go for a booming shot on the 6th ball. Anderson knew it too and pitched it up. Smart bowling.

Zaheer has taken 22 wickets @ 25 apiece in 14 matches since his comeback (weak opposition excluded). Certainly not "special" but certainly is "decent".

Anyways, really impressed by Broad and Anderson here. Great stuff.

England are bowling very well here. Gambhir was due for the brain fart after feasting on the minnows. He is so predictable.
