I wonder if Anderson's got the fitness to just bowl out his ten at the start in ODIs ala Jon Lewis. I reckon it could be a good option, especially at home.

Anderson and Praveen are both going to benefit with the 2 new balls rule.

I just got the feeling even when they took those wickets up front there seemed to be going through the motions feel to the game and that's exactly how the games developed.

Lol at Jono saying India's tail always bat like retards. Damn you Ashwin.
I think the fact that Ashwin has this sort of batting talent (and has shown it domestically) was kind of his point though. What he'd shown in international cricket thus far completely belied his ability as he was batting without a brain.

Actually what he was saying was that with all the ability they have they were batting like Retards playing Crazy shots to get out.

Actually proven right tbf.:p

Broad seems to have transferred his Test/ODI performances from his earlier career. Benn an awful year for him in this form.

This is a droppable performance from Dernbach. He's in the side for one reason and he failed massively.

Oh, and on he comes. That's a brilliant idea.

Should have been dispatched for 6 that ball.

Last 5 over they've nearly gone at 12 rpo, bloody embarrassing considering we've got 2 death specialists.

Fair play to India, they've pulled back what looked like a horror story 2 hours ago. Shouldn't be too much trouble for England though.

Yeah but because he's of reasonable pace (unlike other new ball specialists), England have never really tried to get all his overs out of the way early. He often comes back at the death and gets hammered and they keep thinking he'll be fine because there's no completely obvious reason why he isn't. I don't know if the two new balls will make them re-think that or just go with the "it'll still be swinging in the 45th over now!" mentality and still bowl the guy at the death.

Yay, Jade, can we afford to keep him in the side, just for the last over though, that's quite some specialist.

Said it at the start of the game, with the two new ball rule there's really no excuse for Anderson bowling after the 30th over.
