England struggling to stay afloat in the series

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.
