Can India's Team of Oldies Win in Eng?

New-South-Welshman · Aug 29th, 2007, 15:36

It's funny watching the India team play cricket. One of the most inconsistent sports sides I have seen, along with the St. George Dragons Rugby League Football Club. I was wondering if any of you guys are actually confident of India winning the ODI series in England. What are your thoughts/comments?

well actually they managed to beat England in the Test Sereis...

and its a 7 match series, 2-1 in favor of England, but ofcourse Indian team has a lot of Chance...

I would say Indian team will lose the series 4-3. They are doing quite well overseas, but the 3rd odi (they should have won that) will come back to Haunt them. I would be surprised (and delighted) if they manage to win the series from here.

I would also make a change in the squad and bring in Robin Uthappa instead of Karthik, in this form of the game.

Watchin Indian team play is watching Marat Safin Play. One never knows which side will turn up.

Yeah they absolutely will.

I was very impressed with India chasing that score of over 310. 3-3. I hope they win the 7th game, but I don't think it'll happen if England get some of their players back.

Why? those players are superhumans? Cricket is a team game and does not depend solely on 1-2 big names. India have a high chance as they are on top of their morale after the last game, but in cricket, anything can happen. It is basically a one ball game. Big teams have lost to little ones in the recent past, what those records say?

I guess the law of averages will prevail and england will clinch the series.

India seems to choke when it comes to big games in the one day series. The only times I see them perform their best is against Pakistan.

actually the oldies are playing better than most of us had expected.
but i think england without some of the key players is as bad as india.

batistuta · Sep 7th, 2007, 18:08

The oldies are Playing quite well , But I will still back England to Pull this one off. Will be Glad If India can turn the tables, ofcourse.

I totally forgot about the 7th game, which England happened to win. Good series though.
