Yes they have managed to win at this ground but they have lost 14 games also in 3 years. It is definitely been a heaven for visiting team

Jadeja WAG. Hope they give him MOTM again; I swear he has a pretty high percentage of MOTM awards for someone so many people think is the worst player ever.

Ahh they gave it to Dhoni.
Not really. It's all about the wonga, innit? The only surprise is that it isn't the other way around and a team name change hasn't been granted to the highest bidder.Strange tour. 5 ODIs and 1 T20.

Hand them a set of whites, perhaps.

I think they've read 'How to Commentate' by Ian Healy and Tony Greig. Horribly familiar style if you are an Aussie.

Well what was setting up to be a decent game was ruined by a pretty meek submission in England's middle order, and of course conceding too many runs in the last 15 overs or so (See these County lads are not used to going past 40 overs in a one-day game!!)
Dhoni's winning of the toss was important, we saw the bounce deteriorate further as the game progressed, but India probably bowled better into the pitch exaggerating the bounce, while we persevered with a very full length, but against the likes of Dhoni there is next to no margin for error, some of his shots down the ground off deliveries just short of a yorker, were phenomenal.
Dhoni's innings was outstanding, he brought urgency to the crease, scampering very quickly for the ones and twos, and increased his strike rate perfectly towards the end. A top ODI knock.
Kieswetter going early hurt, as was KP's ill-advised quick single to mid-on. Cook and Trott then ticked things over, Cook looked really impressive, but as the run rate began to rise it fell on Cook to move things along and unfortunately picked out the man in the deep perfectly.
The usual inability to formulate a successful strategy against the slow bowling ensured we fell well short. There were some tame dismissals in there, Trott, Bairstow, Bopara, all made it far too easy for their spinners.
Many talking points after that game, we must improve from that. On a positive note, Dernbach bowled well and was the pick of the quick men, Finn's pace was again impressive but just lacked the real one-day skills, ie good changes of pace and nailing the yorkers, Swann was impressive too.

Can anyone help me out with this?
Both batting and bowling powerplays have to taken be between 16th and 40th over (for a full game). But what is the rule if neither batting nor bowling powerplay is taken until the end of 30th over. So after this only 10 overs are left between 31-40 overs. Then how would it be handled. Will the umpires tell the batsmen to take the batting powerplay or will they tell the fielding captain to take the bowling powerplay first??
Anyone has an idea about it?

4 fifties in his last 4 innings. And he has done nothing wrong before that also. (Excluding the series-not-to-be-mentioned).
Why should he be sacked?

Is there a difference between the batting and bowling powerplay, in terms of number of fielders positioned outside the circle?
