I think that's a forlorn hope there Cevno didn't look very solid early on here god knows what he'd be like at Headingley or Trent Bridge.
Just checked the fixtures no games at them two venues anyway.
Gets easier tracks.

Still not at all confident about his batting in India let alone those conditions and then his bowling wasn't great last time in England too.
He has been dropped after every almost every away series he has played so far.

Unfortunately not; he was due though. Pretty sure this is his fifth MOTM award and the first time he's won it that I haven't bet on him. He mixes in being a complete clown cricketer in ODIs with winning India matches and picking up MOTM awards; one of the weirdest ODI cricketers ever. Gets these awards so much more often than many supposedly 'better' ODI players.

I didn't watch the India innings; any reason Root only bowled the two overs? He didn't go for many in the overs he did bowl and he bowled really well in the previous game, yet Patel bowled 10 and Woakes/Dernbach bowled plenty and got hammered.

Patel started out pretty well, as did Woakes in fact. Dernbach only bowled 4 overs in the first 36 of the innings. Most of the hammering inflicted on Woakes and Dernbach was in overs that you wouldn't really dream of bowling a part time off spinner in.

Fair enough. Makes sense given Jadeja's innings I suppose.

I like Jadeja. I think he's only going to improve as a cricketer and become the all-rounder that is so valuable in ODIs. Speaking of all-rounders, Kumar has proved himself as a top bowler, I hope he shows himself as a good batsman too. Then we'll have Jadeja, Ashwin and Kumar at 7, 8 and 9 which will mean we'll be extremely strong at chasing and setting targets.
As for Ishant, I'm unsure what to think. He did well against Pakistan but has been a deadweight against England. Do we have anyone better though? Let's hope Aaron returns to fitness soon!

First time ever we can make a comparison with Mahmood where it would be harsh on Saj.
