4th Test

#1

Strauss 6 - got a start. Good move bringing Swann back on despite the new ball.
Cook 5 - got a start
Bell 10 - World-class.
Pietersen 9.5 - Should have got the double but batted excellently
Morgan 1 - Er, fielded okay
Bopara 7 - Looked comfortable at the crease. Bowling was decent as well actually. Has done enough to get a trip to UAE but remains behind Morgan for now
Prior 7 - No problems behind the stumps aside from a curious non-appeal to Tendulkar
Bresnan 7 - did enough, took the key wicket
Broad 7 - Quietest game of the series but still bowled well.
Swann 8.5 - Took some tap but this time took some wickets with it. The two last night were the key ones
Anderson 7 - Quietish game, bowled fine, cleaned Laxman up nicely

#3

Sehwag 2 - Apparently he told Aggers that England wouldn't bowl Swann to him because he would destroy him. Unlucky dickhead.
Gambhir N/A - will give him a pass here
Dravid 9.5 - Sensational
Tendulkar 7 - Batted well in the 4th innings but had plenty of luck and didn't do enough
Laxman 2 - Forgot he played, useless in this one
Raina 2 - Bowling was not bad
Dhoni 1 - Back to ****e
Mishra 4 - Excellent innings but bowling means no India fan can ever laugh at Australia's Ashes spinners again
Sharma 1 - Anonymous
RP Singh - 0.5 - Worse
Sreesanth 2 - The pick of the Indian seamers. Total ****e.
