England struggling to stay afloat in the series As Rudyard Kipling said "East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet." The prevalence of contempt that England enjoyed in the test series at home against the India is repeated in reverse in a day trip against the same opponents.
England opening two ODIs in Hyderabad and Delhi have led to two crushing defeats, and unless they can stop the rot at the third time of asking Mohali, have squandered the series with two games remaining. It is hard to imagine that this transformation takes place, however. With a win in their last 15 ODIs in India - and none since April 2006 - England have been in this position before, and still have to solve an escape route.
India is a sophisticated team that won the World Cup again in April, but his country house for the first time since that momentous achievement, who beat a bit in the same well of confidence.England face a trial spin in the first game, and trial by the seam in the second, and while their batsmen failed each time, India has grown from strength to strength.
MS Dhoni blistering assault in the last 16 acquisitions in the first game, Virat Kohli crush twice a century, Gautam Gambhir, in collaboration with the second, the defining feature of India's actions to date was the fluidity its tug. While the entry of England were the best jerky, with occasional gunshots limit marked by long periods of rotation of the strike failed, the ability of India to create gaps in the area was almost impossible to match, and even harder to stop.
In this sense, the absence of Eoin Morgan played in England. Its nominal replacement, Jonny Bairstow, hit a long ball to give you the ability, as demonstrated in the opening match in Cardiff last month, but has yet to learn the versatility to dominate in the regions of India. He is not alone in this regard. Craig Kieswetter has a limit and seven points in 13 balls so far, and while Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott were comfortable in the conditions they have in any of them has been able to put the pedal the metal as their counterparts in India.
The problems of England extends to their bowling attack too.Steven Finn and Tim Bresnan have impressed their personal capacity, although their numbers do not reflect their efforts, but Jade Dernbach changes were neck while Samit Patel fought like a bicycle multi-spin bowling. Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin Kohli and even roller-leg and was more effective. It will take a considerable change in the fortunes of England to be stronger than the sum of the parts of India in future competitions.

In the spotlightThere was no love between the players Virat Kohli England and Delhi, but seeing as he killed with a sublime 89-ball hundred, there was only one winner of this particular battle. Whatever the technique suspicions were expressed in the tour of England, who were far from being perceived as gaps in the field of steaks with aplomb, and also confirmed his prowess at home with five average rate continued off unhittable. At age 22, is to use his chance to become the flagship of the new generation of India.
Jade Dernbach is a significant player in England to have in their ranks - the seamer truly innovative and with an arsenal of change call, and time on your side to refine his repertoire. When done well, as he did with a smaller ball to pin loop Gautam Gambhir LBW in Hyderabad, you can fool the best players, however, when its variations are synchronized, the joke is always on him - and Up to now this season, has a window to 99.00 in 16 overs. As Shane Warne once said of young bowlers legspin who need lots of love to build confidence in their ability to be fixed, but do not get in most of these visits scorching to date.
Pitch and conditionsOne of northern India, the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium has traditionally offered something to the seamers, while the second test ODI is the matching of India Praveen Kumar and Vinay Kumar, they are better able exploit what is in the offer.
Team newsThere was no need to change hosts in New Delhi despite the very different conditions, so more can be expected in Mohali. It makes a great contrast to the recent tour of England, in which the victims were abundant.
India (probable) 1 Parthiv Patel, 2 Ajinkya Rahan, Gautam Gambhir 3, 4 Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina 5, 6 MS Dhoni (CAPT and per week), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin 8, 9 Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar 10, Umesh Yadav 11
Patel place is under surveillance, after two poor performances of bowling in the first two games. Chris Woakes, one of his most likely successor, was dismissed from the tour through injury. His replacement is Graham Onions, although legspinner Scott Borthwick is certainly at the forefront of a call. Despite being in the 30 and 40 in New Delhi, England can still resist the temptation to play with the stick, with Ian Bell once again set to take turns.
England (probable): 1 Alastair Cook (capt), Craig Kieswetter 2 (weeks), 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, Ravi Bopara 5, 6 Jonny Bairstow, 7 Tim Bresnan, Graeme Swann 8, 9 Scott Borthwick, 10 Steven Finn , 11, Jade Dernbach
Statistics and anecdotesIndia has a checkered history in ODIs in Mohali - who have won six and lost four of their ten games since 1993.However, Mohali retains an important place in the affections of the nation, taking into account the outcome of the last game hosted in March 2011: World Cup semi-final victory against Pakistan.
Pak trying to take the lead on day 2 vs. SL
Abu Dhabi: Sri Lanka after holding on the table from day 1, Pakistan hopes its higher order groceries, of course, the second day of the first round on Wednesday in Pakistan has ended the day at 27-0, with Taufiq Omar Mohammad Hafeez and 17, unbeaten in eight. Pakistan openers management Salto could see at least the first hour of play of the second day.
Previously, bowling left arm paceman Junaid Khan contributed amaiden first five walking tour package to help Pakistan in Sri Lanka for a total of 197 over the mother.
Sri Lanka has won their last eleven test matches.
Australia cruise to win in the rain reduced match
Australia were more bothered by the rain that South Africa as hosts scanned in a development first ODI in Centurion, winning by 93 runs on Duckworth-Lewis calculations.
Ricky Ponting, Michael Clarke and Michael Hussey guided the tourists to 183 for 4 in 29 overs, setting a target of 223 before debutant Mitchell Johnson and Pat Cummins share six hoops to lead his team in a way happy in the field.
The ball spun and bounced off the fat condition, and an important sign for the upcoming games, Johnson has won the kind of movement in the air that helped make him so formidable in 2009 from Australia to Africa South visit.
Mitchell Marsh, teenage debutant other hand, claimed a wicket in his first report. The spin of Xavier Doherty was as useful as the Proteas dropped from 30 in not introducing a captaincy in search of Hashim Amla interim leader.
Posted by rain at 3:57 p.m. local time when a promising 96 for 1 after 19 overs, Australia had managed to collect another 87 runs in 10 overs when play finally resumed at 20:30.
Ponting and Clarke back at the speed of the equation is necessary, before the captain of Australia, unfortunately, when the aircraft bounced on the fingers Johan Botha as Ponting Clarke was down. Hussey, however, slipped along the inlet end of typical speed and Marsh have reached a limit in their first innings.
Persecution of South Africa was immediately disturbed by the sight of Doug Bollinger and Johnson strapping of the ball.Graeme Smith soon Bollinger represented as a low birth weight does not swing, but may have been going over the stumps, and Johnson showed the enigmatical won two years ago could be repeated on this occasion.
Cummins has replaced Johnson in the first change, and although his first ball in ODIs was slapped on the cover shamelessly six LBA, 18, soon to repeat the trick in his first two international Twenty20 alleging multiple windows in an envelope. Jacques Kallis dragged a long career in the stem, before JP Duminy was rejected for the third time in as many entries as Cummins Clarke stopped indefinitely in the second slip.
LBA Marsh had Brad Haddin caught completely by jets of a unit on the first envelope, and Doherty has struck twice through referrals. David Miller, the first time trapped in the period after the arbitrators initially awarded the ball at a time, and Mark Boucher was low birth weight in the consideration of a delivery that moved to the legs and trunk rather Tracker ball right to convince Hawk-Eye.
Johnson added his name to the list of wicket takers by Faf du Plessis made a desperate and turn in the field, as the main concern of the Australian batting has become in South Africa for the sky. The rain threatened to return, but the end result was clear from the moment the minimum of 20 overs had been completed.
Australia had failed to take into account Shaun Marsh and Shane Watson due to injury, so that gave limited overs debut with the versatile Mitchell Marsh, one day before his 20th birthday and Cummins, who had yet to have a list of a window of your condition.
David Warner was joined at the top of the batting order by Ponting, an occasional starter during the year, and was the young man went to the fast action, the first ball Lonwabo Tsotsobe slip through the development and and then breaking a trio of Dale Steyn limits, the last two by the generous flood of a bullet and not a free kick.
Next Steyn corrected ball, find the ideal length and a touch of swing to beat Warner products before the inner edge. This left Clarke and Ponting to set the course of the sleeve against many players will see throughout the next month.
The lights were used in 10 overs as the sky darkened, and Ponting and Clarke negotiated delivery by Morne Morkel foreign clumsy, while maintaining the delivery rate of about five years.Steyn returned the ball in the second stage, but could not divide the society before the thunder and the rain came.
Returning to the tune of more than four hours later, Ponting and Clarke fired a series of smart moves before Clarke luck, and continued until Ponting off Steyn to point out. Brad Haddin has been sacrificed in the effort to raise the rate of run before Hussey and Marsh left a balance in terms of size was too big for South Africa.
Exceptional openness Association
Ross Taylor and John Wright, New Zealand captain and coach,praised the deeds of their openers, Brendon McCullum andMartin Guptill, who earned a 2-0 victory in the Twenty20 series inZimbabwe in the opening century partnerships."The opening partnership was remarkable," says Taylor. "For more than two 100 games in a row is a reference. Brendon and"Guppy "[Guptill] arrived at a reasonable and complement each other very well."Guptill and Taylor added 127 in 13.3 overs to secure a ten wicketvictory in T20 and then put at 120 in 11.1 overs in the second tohelp New Zealand after 187 in 18 overs."Both Brendon and Guppy played very, very well," said Wright."It's a great opportunity in this country, because the conditions are very good hitters. His stroke play was encouraging. We have nothad a lot of hitters in the first three, but it will be in the format of 50 years."Guptill, who scored 40 and 67 in the two T20, had moved fromNew Zealand off-season with Derbyshire and he said no mold, as it had been in contact with the game. "I played great cricket when I was there [Derbyshire] so there was no stiff legs after the first game, so it was very convenient,''said the New Zealand HeraldGuptill." We started very well in the first Twenty20 and save abowling club and performance like that [in the second T20] is very nice.''New Zealand will begin a one-day leg of his visit to Zimbabwe in Harare on October 20.
Pakistan is Taufeeq patient care
The hard work of the order over Pakistan put his side in control of the defense of an attack against Sri Lanka which was removed without remorse on a surface that does not respond, first by the positivity of Mohammad Hafeez then the self-denial and the same accumulation of Taufeeq Omar and Ali Al-Azhar.
After Hafiz struck with the goal of a productive morning session, Taufeeq Azhar and evasive in less than two runs after tea before showing some urgency in the final session to leave Sri Lanka in the deflation heat of Abu Dhabi. Taufeeq played a role secondary to Hafeez, half-volley blocked after the meal, with Azhar Ali and displayed refreshing freedom after tea to reach his second century in three Tests. Azhar, mostly along the excessive caution, continued to show the strength that marked his short career with another half century in a society that has grown to 141 at the end of the day.
Nothing worked in Sri Lanka after the drummer collapsed yesterday. Mahela Jayawardene - one of the fielders safest sliding around - do not cling to the only real possibility that Pakistan has come during the day. Azhar, 7, sliding to the edge Jayawardene Rangana Herath, but could not see the ball, as he died before him. Towards the end of the match, the referee Tony Hill failed to detect a bat inside the clear edge Taufeeq wicketkeeper gloves when I was at 102.
The tone for the control of Pakistan was created by Hafiz in the first day rolled on Chanaka Welegedara which sold for 10. Sri Lanka had wanted more of his seamers in the morning, but in a way Hafeez was difficult to break into the field of flat. The heat also limits the duration and effectiveness of spells of batting seamers' Herath constantly concerned only with an intelligent use of the fugue and variations, which is not reflected in their statements of 33-9-53 - a for the day. Herath Hafeez delay the flight and his third album and have infiltrated a carrom ball through it, but by an inner edge later.
Hafeez goal of sealing and finally released from his loft Herath for a period of six before being caught in the front of the arm with a ball. Pakistan is inexplicably paralyzed after leaving Hafeez, defending everything and refuses to take a second session that have been mastered. They must have taken the lead before tea, but with Azhar remaining trapped in 7 of 43 deliveries in a given time, and scraping 59 runs in 30 overs in the second session.
This seemed to have suddenly awakened to tea, however, Suranga Lakmal Azhar take consecutive fours. Taufeeq in 65 of 200 deliveries, came one batter after tea has changed. Took 35 of his next 59 balls to reach his century with two boundaries and a belly Lakmal to 86 years. The signal came, closed the store for the rest of the day, scoring nine of his last 37 deliveries. Pakistan remains collected 85 from 31 overs after tea, and finally try to rub it on your behalf. The second ball of newcomers and go unnoticed.
At no time during their partnership was a good show, but Taufeeq Azhar and correctly on the dashboard, and the position of Pakistan, to be worthy of routine.
