Never mind Vic.
Rashid morphs in to Britney Spears. Oops. I did it again For a few moments earlier there was a suggestion that India could pull off the unthinkable. Methinks my bookie can enjoy his beer tonight. |

For India so near yet so far, for England plenty of water works and well done Jimmy.

Methinks they got the individual awards spot on.
Curran certainly deserved the England POTT. Good call by Ravi Shastri. Kohli was probably the only contender for India. And wasn't Jimmy a wee bit emotional. He probably thought he would have to wait a while to get that wicket. For India like England at times it was the batsmen who let their bowlers down. Had their top order fired then the overall outcome could have been very different. |

Now for the future...
England did enough to deserve the series win; but the victory margin flatters them and does India a bit of a disservice. Only at Lords did England completely dominate India.
We are left with some interesting questions for the winter. The retirement of Alistair Cook raises a new puzzle and so does the character of the first winter assignment, a tour of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is a difficult place for seam bowling, and England will probably tour with all of her main spinners - Jack Leach and Dominic Bess as well as Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid. Unless there are fitness considerations, Joe Root should be practising his off breaks as well. I read some comments that Stuart Broad should be rested for the Sri Lanka tour, presumably to have him in tip-top condition to bowl in the West Indies after Christmas. I disagree. Idle machinery rusts. Unless he needs an operation or something like that, he should tour.
Reserve opener - Mark Stoneman. He might not get a game even, if Jennings can come good and if Burns plays reasonably well, but he had a decent summer and he wasn't the only one to crap out in Australia last time. Reserve spinner - Dominic Bess. Reserve wicketkeeper and first choice spare batsman - Jos Buttler. Also bring Chris Woakes and IMHO Mark Wood. If there is room for a 17th squad member I would like it to be Oliver Pope, who I think has been punished for the failure of other batsmen. But we might only pick 16.

Hales and Stokes charged with bringing the game into disrepute with a hearing taking place in December as well as being included in the ODI squad to play Sri Lanka.

^^ How convenient.
It was originally mooted that any disciplinary would have been held a matter of days after the court case (assuming naturelemant that Rocky would not be serving at the pleasure of Her Majesty) So what happens ?. My crystal ball tells me that both will have rap on the knuckles and will only have their pants pulled down and whipped if they transgress again. Mind you if my crystal ball actually worked I would be sending this from some far exotic place and not from where I call home. On another matter Moeen now discloses that an Aussie was none to kind verbally a few years ago. The precise wording the un-named Aussie denies using. But why bring it back up now ? The scinical (jeez I'll learn to spell one day) in me sees he wants to sell more copies of his autobiog. Yet he has removed the name from the text so what is going on ? |

Not Moeen's fault (except that he doesn't trim his beard); but the Osama resemblance has occurred to me before. I strongly suspect that Moeen is telling the truth. But unless he can prove it, he could end up like The Daily Star when they reported truthfully on Jeffrey Archer. Best not to name names.
