England arrive in India
England expects. We'll be lucky to get anything out of these series though. India are arguably one of the best in both forms of the game. |

I agree. India will be tough. They have great spin bowlers such as Harbajan Singh and Kumble, and we have Ian Blackwell <_< |

Venues Where will England be playing their games? In the following venues: Tests Nagpur England will not get many pitches that suit them in India, but the one in Nagpur that hosts the first Test can offer pace and movement for seamers. Jason Gillespie took nine wickets as Australia bundled out the hosts for scores of 185 and 200 in October 2004. More worryingly for England, Sachin Tendulkar has had three centuries in seven innings here, averaging 105.83. In a 1995 one-day match against New Zealand, a brick wall on the East stand collapsed, killing nine people. Will host the First Test, 1st March. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mohali The Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali is one of the great success stories of Indian cricket. In 1992, it was a swamp with deep ravines but two years later staged its first Test and has never looked back. One of the best grounds in India, it has superb practice facilities and a very spectator-friendly outlook. The wicket itself is better suited to one-day cricket and has hosted a string of draws in Tests, though England were thrashed by 10 wickets in 2001. Will host Second Test, 9th March ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mumbai Mumbai (Bombay) is regarded as India's cricket capital, and that point has been reinforced since the emergence of hometown hero Sachin Tendulkar. England won a Test at the Wankhede in 1980 when Ian Botham produced one of the great all-round performances, with 13 wickets and a score of 114. But since then, England have lost twice, on the 1984-85 tour and in 1993. The wicket tends to favour swing in the morning sessions while the spinners get some help over the last two days. Will host Third Test, 18th March ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One Dayers Delhi England will mostly be playing their one-day internationals in small provincial stadiums, but Delhi's Feroz Shah Kotla is the exception. The latest refurbishment was still going on when Pakistan topped 300 here 12 months ago when winning the final match to take the one-day series 4-2. A Nick Knight century and five Ashley Giles wickets gave England a two-run win in the exciting 2002 series. In a 1999 Test against Pakistan, Anil Kumble took 10 wickets in an innings. Will host First One Dayer, 28th March ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Faridabad Situated 18 miles south-east of Delhi, the modern Nahar Singh Stadium will stage its eighth one-day international. Kapil Dev played his final limited overs match here when West Indies, who gave Shiv Chanderpaul a debut, thrashed the hosts by a whopping 96 runs. India have lost all but one of their five matches here, including a 2002 reverse to Zimbabwe which featured a memorable cameo from Doug Marillier. Five times out of seven the team batting second has triumphed. Will host second One Dayer, 31st March ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Goa Described by Lonely Planet as "succulently hybrid and determinedly individual", Goa is famous for its beaches and spaced out backpackers. The former Portuguese enclave also boasts a cricket ground in Margao which has hosted five one-day internationals. India have lost all three of their games at the Nehru Stadium, which was established in 1989. The ground can take 27,300 fans and a few hundred Brits on holiday may well get their hands on the odd ticket. Will host Third One Dayer,, 3rd April ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cochin The first two one-day internationals played here achieved 300-plus scores, then Zimbabwe bowled out the hosts for 191 in India's only defeat in Cochin. Giant convex floodlight pylons arch over an impressive ground with tiered seating which can hold 60,000 fans. The Kerala Cricket Association, for it is in this southern state where Cochin is situated, is reportedly planning to launch a bid to host Tests here. For trivia nuts, Sachin Tendulkar has taken two five-wicket hauls here. Will host Fourth One Dayer, 6th April ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guwahati The first one-day international at this ground was staged as recently as 1983, and there have been only 11 in total. A negative aspect of the venue, located in the north-east of the country, is the predominance of heavy early morning fog and quickly fading evening light. That may explain why Test cricket has never been played there but there are floodlights available for the ODIs. The venue is capable of holding 25,000 and the highest ODI score is 333-6 by India against Zimbabwe in 2002. Will host Fifth One Dayer, 9th April ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jamshedpur The Keenan Stadium is named after a head of a steel factory which forms a distinctive backdrop to the ground, along with the Dalma Hills. It was not until December 1983 that the ground staged its first international, and there have been just nine in all. That first match featured a vintage West Indies side, and Gordon Greenidge and Viv Richards hit tons in a total of 333-8 that remains the ground's best. There is a 19,000 capacity and crowds are known to be on the volatile side. Will host Sixth One Dayer, 12th April ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indore The series is likely to be decided by the time the two teams arrive in this city in the state of Madhya Pradesh. That might be just as well for India, who have won just one of six matches here - including an abandonment on a dangerous wicket against Sri Lanka. Ian Botham has fond memories of this place, having smashed 122 from 55 balls against Central Zone in 1981-82. Kris Srikkanth, better known as a dashing batsman from the same era, once took 5-32 against New Zealand here. Will host Seventh One Dayer, 15th April. Next game is tomorrow, a practice match versus an unknown team in Mumbai. Who? We'll never know. |

Day 1 of 3 versus Cricket Club of India So it' the first day of our first match. How did we do? Let's see... England: 299 All Out CC of India: Yet to Bat ![]()
Scorecard England First Innings Strauss----------51 Prior-------------0 Vaughan--------54 Bell--------------78 Pietersen-------26 Flintoff----------20 Collingwood----47 G Jones---------1 Blackwell-------1 Hoggard--------3 Panesar--------3 Extras----------15 (13nb, 1w, 1lb) CC of India Team N M Kulkarni H S Shinde W A Mota V R Samant R P Verma H M Shah S O Kukreja V A Indulkar A R Uthappa Abid Nabi A Redkar H Bachani A A Muzumdar K Waingankar M S Ansari S P Hazare That was Day One. A decent total, but looking at the amount of starts in the innings. at least one player should've got a century. Oh well. More later. |

The format for your Match Reports look familiar
Good start for England. Looking forward to seeing our spinners in action - Blackwell (because he did well against CC of India), Monty Panesar (new) and Shaun Udal (Hampshire!). Hopefully Kevin Pietersen and Freddie Flintoff can stay at the crease for longer... and together.
