England and India amazing things - none of them matter

England and India did amazing things in a way that never could have come about in a T20 match. Yesterday’s match had laughter and tears. Both sets of fans enjoyed the pleasures snatching victory from the jaws of defeat… before allowing the other side to claw their way back again. And then it all went horribly agreeable.

Unfortunately – much like a political compromise – a tie left both sides feeling disappointed. “Oh” we all collectively thought, “so we didn’t win”.

Interestingly, the match, despite its drama, was still meaningless. Both sides will probably qualify. So. It was all just a waste of everyone’s time, really.

The match did show simply the relative ineptness of the bowling. Aside from Zaheer’s moment of maddeningness and Bresnan’s tedious reliability, neither time has sufficient firepower to blast their way to the world cup.

Sachin Tendulkar, though, eh? Fluky bloody bastard.

Sachin's and Strauss's innings were gems. The bowling was - horrific to say the least. I did put up a quick analysis on my blog, do have a look if you get time!

Hi,

I’m writing on behalf of the Managing Editor of CricketCountry, which is a joint venture portal of the Zee Group and an American media giant. Our cricket vertical has lots of cricketers writing for us, besides established writers. However, we are also giving space for bloggers and others who would like to share their views and/or blog on cricket.

Would you be interested in posting your cartoons/articles on our website? If you do wish to share, kindly let me know. We are not paying fan bloggers for non-exclusive articles, but what we would undoubtedly give them is instant recognition on a big platform alongside big names - something that is not possible as a stand-alone blogger or merely commenting on social media like Facebook and Twitter. Moreover, we intend leverage the written stuff across social media platforms. And that means getting your writings across to much bigger audience and
thus getting new readers to your blog – if you are a blogger.

If we find that any blogger is writing insightfully and is drawing a huge following, we could then commission him/her to write exclusive articles for which they would be paid.

Do let me know your thoughts.

Cheers,

Devarchit Varma

England cricket team have to work very hard to show themselves like Indian cricket team because England cricket can't play in Asia as they can play in west.

englang is so well team ,but india is also a well team ,india lack of bowling power otherwise we are best

livescore said...

It is my personal observation that England cricket team can win in other countries easily specially in Asia when there is summer because they can't play well in hot weather however Indian cricket team is better then England's cricket team.

Greece Power Ball said...

The Greece Powerball Result, also known as Joker, is a draw-style lotto that is part of OPAP’s portfolio in Greece. The Greek Joker was created in 1997, sharing some similarities with other lotteries such as the World Lottery and Powerball. As well as offering terrific rewards, this game offers excellent fun. In many ways, Tzoker has achieved its goal of offering “winnings beyond imagination”.
