How raring to go can you be at 38?

Hopefully quite after the rest.

well give it arest will ya, we dint lose to wi 1-0 ,like english ladies did

cricket-fan at least our laddies lost to a real WI team, not payed a 4th eleven.

I would not worry about an under cooked team. Already so much cricket is being played. The break is always a welcome.

England have a good chance if the bowl first or bat first at Lords. what ever India do if they win the toss they had better do it well.. Thats just my personal opinion..

"England have a good chance if the bowl first or bat first at Lords"
Says it all really.

India have generally been a bit undercooked and at their most vulnerable for the first match in any series - even against New Zealand at home (when they just about escaped with a draw). It has always been a great opportunity for the opposition to go one up.
