Thought it was an amazing fightback by the England lads last night. At 114/7 when all our top-flight batsmen had gone (Cook, Prior, Bell, Pietersen, Collingwood, Flintoff and Shah) you thought game over, and we would have done well to get to 150.

Step forward Ravi Bopara and Stuart Broad, who put on an unbeaten 99 to see the English boys home. It was good to see the tail wagging for a change!! :D

Onwards to Headingley where we hope to seal the series!!!! :dance:

I have to say, its been an absolutely superb 2nd half of the summer since India arrived. The test series was competitive, and a lot of high quality cricket was played, and the ODI series has been a cracker too, and its so nice to see our lads play some good cricket in the 50-over form of the game!

I actually watched it yesterday (well the 2nd half), and it was a great, close game. Broad and Bopara were excellent, and never really looked like getting out. :thumbup: The Indian fielding was shocking though. :thumbup: :D

Yeah, stereotypical of Asian countries TBH - their fielding is something which leaves a lot to be desired! West Indies are the same! :shades:

Sri Lanka tend to be the exception to that rule.

Yeah, SL are the possible exception, although they have their moments!

Just spotted this on cricinfo from today's game (can't wait to see it on the highlights!!)

What an effort by England having stumbled to 20 for 2 and 83 for 4. They smashed 114 in the last 10 overs, with Luke Wright ('Luke the Duke' according to Bumble) providing the impetus and urging Owais Shah on to a very fine hundred. But Mascarenhas's hitting at the end - which prompted David Lloyd just now to call him 'dangerhanes' (what a great nickname) - was something else. With each six, his timing seemed to improve and the ball sailed further and deeper into the stands.
49.6 Yuvraj Singh to Mascarenhas, SIX, make that five sixes in the over! And the biggest of the lot, straight back over the bowler's head! Quite breathless cricket 
Where will he bowl now? Surely not another leg-side dart?
49.5 Yuvraj Singh to Mascarenhas, SIX, he's done it again! And this has gone even further into the midwicket boundary. A brilliant, crisp, effortless clip for six 
Poor bowling. Yuvraj is firing these, predictably, into his legs and Mascarenhas is picking them off with ease
49.4 Yuvraj Singh to Mascarenhas, SIX, and another one! This is marvellous batting here. Another step outside leg; another six into midwicket 
49.3 Yuvraj Singh to Mascarenhas, SIX, he takes a step outside leg and smites him for six into the midwicket fence! Bosh! 
49.2 Yuvraj Singh to Mascarenhas, SIX, and he swings this over midwicket, high and handsome - but Piyush is lurking, and makes excellent ground to take a brilliant catch. However...such was his velocity that he slid into the boundary, and it's six! Tough luck. 
49.1 Yuvraj Singh to Mascarenhas, no run, an ugly and not particularly effective mow 


:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I caught the last over before I left for work and boy was it worth it.
Nope not for Mascarenhas hitting five sixes off on over, for the commentary from David Lloyd after Mascarenhas hit his 4th six.

Cue - 'Dangeranus'

:bow:
Sydney. Where the sun shines constantly, and the trees burn in summer.
