England TRASHES India!!

India would just like to forget this tour as India didn't win a single match..India lost 4-0 in the Test Series,lost the one off T20 and lost the ODI series 3-0..Most of the matches were interrupted by rain and again umpiring was not up to the mark..There was  review system in all the matches played and Raina once again suffered the most..India who have the weakness of short ball mostly got out playing the wrong shots for the deliveries which were bowled short..India were plagued by injuries..Virender Sehwag played only 2 tests;the 3rd and the 4th! England defeated India in all the tests!! India lost its No.1 rankings in Tests after losing all the 4 matches..The last match was a thrilling one in which England won by an innings and 8 runs..Sachin Tendulkar and Amit Mishra batted splendidly..At times when a review was taken HotSpot  revealed nothing..In the 3rd test match.Dravid's bat touched the lace of his shoe but he was given out and dravid didn't take a review! Dravid's batting..!! gosh!! a person could learn how to be patient from him..He notched up 3 centuries! he was adjudged as India's Man of the series and Kevin Pietersen was adjudged England's..He scored a double century in the 1st test at Lord's!! India's bowling was brittle..India lost Zaheer Khan in the 1st test..He suffered a hamstring injury after bowling 13 odd overs!! India lost the one off T20...England won in the last over thriller!! Samit Patel was the hero and Eoin Morgan also made 49..In the ODI series,India lost 3 matches..all by D/L method!! not in a single match 100 overe were played!! The first match was abandoned,The second match was reduced to 23 overs..The 3rd match would have been really a nightmare for India until MS Dhoni and Ravindra Jadeja rescued India!! Ashwin played few amazing strokes at the end of the innings but England won it by 3 wickets..The 4th ODI ended in a tie..At 48.4 overs the rain came and both the scores were tied!! Again by D/L method the match ended in a tie!! In the last ODI Virat Kolhi scored a century,Rahul Dravid hit a half century and MS Dhoni's 50 off 26 which was studded by 2 monstorous sixes ensured that India reached a score of 304 for 6 in 50 overs but again the skies opened up and England's target was reduced to 241 runs from 34 overs 11 england did it successfully !! Debutant Bairstow scored 41 off 21!! MS Dhoni was adjudjed The Man of the series for scoring 3 consecutive 50's!! India slips to 5th in the ODI ranking and England rise to 4th place!!
