Andy Flower motivates Poms to win ODI series as well - Cricket News Update
England coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362, motivated his side to play a high-quality 50-overs game against India in the upcoming five-match One-Day international series, scheduled to be started on September 3, 2011.
The English, after brilliantly claiming a 4-0 sweep against India in the recently concluded Test series, are all set to compete in the ODI clashes with many changes in their squad.
The English selectors have included many young players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alex-Hales-c985, who have attaracted the attention of selectors by impressive performances at the domestic level.
Bringing new players will give them a chance at the International level and also help rest the senior players, who played a significant role in the Test series.
The senior http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 rankings. They outclassed India in all the departments of game, as in the first game the English
handed 196-run defeat to the tourists. While in the second game, they came back with more confidence and thrashed the visitors by a bigger margin of 319 runs.
The third Test match at Edgbaston was of immense importance as it not only handed India a humiliating, 242 runs and an innings defeat, but also boosted the Poms up to the top Test ranking.
The Indian batting line-up, filled with top class batsmen failed to stand against the strong bowling attack of English pacers. In the same way the visitors bowling attack also failed to stop English batsmen from hitting big runs.
In the first three games of the series, Indian batsmen failed to surpass 300 runs.
Most of the Indian experts and former cricketers blamed poor preparations of the Indian team, as they played only one warm-up game ahead of the series.
Some of the experts also lashed out at the Board of Control for Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 (BCCI), citing it responsible for the national team’s failure, stating that the board has been paying more attention to the lucrative Indian Premier
League, rather than international cricket.
