One dayer against India. Jordan 10 overs none for 73 - 12 wides. If he gets a duck then the selectors will have egg on their faces over leaving out Ravi Bopara.
I once played against Don Revie.

Cook opens the batting in a one dayer like he is playing in a five day test. At one stage he had scored 15 off 31 balls. Bell is another batsman who is not suited to the shorter form of the game.

Jordan got his duck, following his 0 for 73. Wonder what Ravi Bopara is thinking? :shock:

I know! Why isn't he being selected? Why are they selecting test players for the one day games!?

Most of this team look as if they think that they don't stand a chance, so have given up before they start.

IMHO they should rest Root, Cooke and Anderson and select top one day players. Carberry has a had a raw deal form the England selectors - he is a one day man, but not selected on his form for the Ashes, which is hardly fair.

Come on selectors get it together!!

It took Cook 65 balls to get his 44. I bet he was surprised when he found they had lost, he thought there were still four days to go.

Another hammering as England lost by 9 wickets and lost the series as well.

India lead 3-0 with one match left.

Anybody off to Headingly on Friday?

How does Cook get the team up for it to avoid the whitewash? A less cautious approach with the bat is a big must
