Cricket news - India V/s England Worldcup match

        Wow, It was an amazing match.Stunning performance by both team.We shouldn't forget that we did set a target of 339 for England and we couldn't make it to win.It has left the team plenty to think.
    
 Explosive batting line up
       All we know that India have strong batting line up in the world.Indian batmans have shown their ability in warm-up matches and also in league matches.India made 370 against Bangladesh and 338 against England.All top order batmans are in form.
       Y Singh got some confidence as he played well against England.He scored 58 of  50 balls including 9 boundaries this is what India needed before start of the worldcup quarterfinals.  


Bowling concern
      Indian team bowlers need to work hard.Z Khan,H Singh and Munaf Patel bowling well.But we can't expect too much from these bowlers. There is lot of worry for Indian team as if 3 fast bowlers required.As already A Nehra got injured and Sreesanth has been expensive against Bangladesh.
      India really need to do well in powerplays and death overs.Z Khan is the best bowler in powerplays and in death overs.But others need to do well.



DEFENSIVE CAPTAIN 
       Both Bangladesh and England thrashed India's bowlers. Somewhere, they also exposed captain Dhoni's lack of planning when it comes to making the best of depleted resources. There seems to be no boldness or innovativeness in his captaincy either, qualities that yielded him success in the first place. Even while defending scores in excess of 300, Dhoni has been overtly defensive. No attacking fields in sight, which means too many singles have been conceded which reduced the pressure on the opposition.
 

India need to tackle Powerplays
      Like most teams, India haven't cracked the Powerplay code yet. On Sunday, they made just 32 off the five overs, between 36 to 41.Should all out attack be employed in the Powerplay, or should the batsmen be more careful? The debate is on.
