It's because the Indian bowling is so poor that they won't even make it as county cricketers. Kumar's are a poor mans Jon Lewis, Munaf is a poors man's Ben Smith (Kent) and Ashwin is a poor mans KP (as a spinner). Bangladesh and Zimbabwe have better bowling options that India.
I agree that the Indian bowling line up is average but you have to give credit to Praveen Kumar who has bowled exceptionally well.
the rained off odi would have been diff yesterday was a 20-20 england are better at 20-20 than odi
england are shocking at odi's not sure why but my team (ireland) beat you easily last year and we dont even like cricket here haha
a full odi between india and england would be won by india and england know this
india are the best in world at odi (world champs)
Crazy be honest will PK get in the England, Pak, Aus, Sri Lanka and South Africa team? I think NOT. He's the best of the very bad bunch and with Zaheer approaching mid 30s its all downhill.
India have relied on their batsmen scoring shedloads of runs and putting pressure on the opposition.
Faced with a big total, if the oppo lose a couple of wickets, this adds to the pressure and they can get themselves out to silly shots.
Zaheer has been instrumental to India. I would bet that a lot of recent success has been down to the batsmen, Zaheer and spin friendly or slow pitches
I totally agree with Topdawg, it really shows when Zaheer is absent..
bhoy, would you like a big piece of fish to go with that massive chip you already have?
You got lucky that one of your 'chunky' sloggers scored heavily, I seem to recall a comfortable win over your lot with a 3rd team recently.
Come on guys, let's not start an argument here. We all know it's just a WUM attempt to get others aggravated.
I'm more than happy to hear some Indian fans opinions on how they think they can improve.

Spot on Neon. I do feel that you need to work on finding some decent fast bowlers as you will always produce world class batsman
It's difficult to see how India can get into this series even though their batsmen are setting good targets, as their bowing should not really trouble England's batsmen.
It will require some really lame batting from England to let them back in.
To make matters worse poor weather seems to follow them around. A few days ago good weather was predicted at the oval, today it's predicting cloudy weather.
