Jaipur:England may have lost their warm-up tie against the Rajasthan Cricket Association (RCA) President's XI here today but Ian Bell asserts that the result would have no bearing on the seven-match ODI series against India.
New Delhi:Though the disappointment of losing the Mumbai Test against England will always be there but Rahul Dravid can take heart from the fact that it was not his 100th after all, not for India at least.
London:Ricky Ponting's men derived sadistic pleasure when England, their Ashes victor last year, bit dust in Pakistan but Australia's respect for their traditional rivals soared as Andrew Flintoff led his side to a series-equalling 212-run win against India in the Mumbai Test.
New Delhi:The 212-run win in the Mumbai Test saw England record their first Test victory on Indian soil in 21 years to square the series but an 'ambitious' Paul Collingwood insists his side has little time to relax as they need to keep winning.
London:Former England captain Geoffrey Boycott believes that Andrew Flintoff's men were rank outsiders after losing half their side to injuries and had one in a million chance of winning the Mumbai Test but Rahul Dravid gave it to them when he won the toss and asked them to bat.
London:Still mystified by the speed of India's batting collapse in the Mumbai Test, Matthew Hoggard wants to know the logic behind Mahendra Singh Dhoni's shot off Shaun Udal, which gave Monty Panesar a chance to redeem himself of dropping the Indian wicketkeeper three balls earlier.
Nothing has gone right for Rahul Dravid in this Mumbai Test. Ever since he inserted England on the first day, Rahul has singularly faced an uphill task.
London:With Andrew Flintoff's men desperately seeking a series equaliser in the Mumbai Test, they would do well to take a leaf out of host captain Rahul Dravid's book and stay put in the wicket to foil an in-form Anil Kumble, said former England captain Geoff Boycott.
Sydney:Leg-spinner Stuart MacGill hopes to make up for the disappointment of being overlooked for Australia's tour of India by snaffling a bagful of wickets against New Zealand.
New Delhi: He might have bit the apple but Adam Gilchrist wants to return to innocence. The buccaneer Australian wicketkeeper-batsman, who did the most un-Aussie thing of walking before the umpire raised his finger during the World Cup in South Africa, thinks the players have to take some responsibility to reduce the umpires' pressure.
