> India's Tour of England 2007

The first warm up match against sussex was a close one with india yet again failing to clean up the tail. RP singh's all round performance was the highlight of india's second innings.

With the 2nd warm up game coming up soon, India's captain rahul dravid is gonna rest and sachin is leading the team.

Dravid is not gonna feature in the line up for the first time in any LIST A MATCH or TEST MATCH after he made his debut in England way back in 1996.

In a Test Match he is yet to miss a game. The streak hopefully should continue.

Indians have lost the future series cup they won against SA.
the list of other items lost,

sachin's man of the series trophy
12 bats signed by both the teams.

Reports suggest that the items could have been lost at the airport.

Good luck

OMG !! Sad... really sad.

I hope they get it back.

No one should expect anything from the Indian team on this tour.
If they can't finish the job against a 3rd rate club side, then forget the english in the tests. ODI's could be close and only if Dhoni fires.

Look at it this way, take out the "trimurti" who is left from the young guns?
Yuvraj - The angry young man who likes to party all the time and will get himself into trouble anyday
Dhoni - The slogger who will find it tough to fire anywhere other than in the subcontinent.
The batting is in shambles. Bowling? Aprt from Zaheer is showing some promise(alas we only pray he doesn't pick another injury) who's left? We don't even have a good world class spinner left in the team.

Kaif is back as the india A captain and Pathan too is joining the A team.

It is just a matter of time for india to become champs
