English media lauds Team England, laughs at India – Cricket News Update
Following Team England’s emphatic and series whitewash against India, the English media are awash with praise and greetings for their team coupled with mockery and criticism for the tourists. A number of the local dailies have engraved the tremendous triumph
of the English on their front pages as flash headlines.
After winning the 4-match npower Test series and elevating to the top spot of International Test rankings, team England managed to clean sweep the series 4-0 yesterday night. They won the 4th and final Test with a margin of an innings and 8 runs.
Having lost the series, the crippled Indians tried their best to avert a whitewash, but in vain, as their batsmen again failed to score confidently. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s God of Cricket, could not complete his long-cherished 100th international
ton and fell for 91 runs.
The Times published a headline as, “Tendulkar unable to save India from truth.”
The Independent wrote, “England top of the world - but aiming higher.” It also added, “Given the way England have played over the past 18 months, what could possibly go wrong? However you look at it, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s cricket team last night could claim the greatest
of distinctions. They were indeed the best in the world.”
Adding insult to India’s injury, The Daily Telegraph inscribed, “India simply weren’t up for the fight. England have embarrassed them. There are insufficient superlatives to describe their performance in this series.”
Indeed, it is the most auspicious time in the history of the English cricket and both the public and media are geared up to celebrate it. Moreover, the Poms’ promising success has proved to be an olive branch in the riot-hit atmosphere of London.
However, the press goes beyond moral limits sometimes while commemorating their team’s accomplishments. When the home team won the first three Tests, an online English newspaper compared the visiting team with a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/James-Middlebrook-c1651 and published its write-up with the snap
of dog.
Analysts censure this biased attitude of the local press and claim that it may have further demoralising effects on the Indian team, which is already on its knees after a nerve-crushing defeat.
