Indians need someone to needle them a bit to perform! Also makes me wonder though if the absolute rear end rap.e in England was not enough motivation already?!?

100 years of pain, and England are finally officially the no.1 test team, it would hurt anybody, they have bottled their emotions for so long, it justifies for the likes of Vaughn and Bumble to gloat, especially at India (with BCCI package it brings with it). And it's more vindicative for the likes of Vaughn and Bumble who never achieved anything with England.

That fatso is on the brink of being obese lol, he is a non spinner and a non batter.Now the POMS WOULD WANT Samit , Bopara to advertise their strength, last time Bopara was told to not admire Sachin lol.I guess Vaughan , Beefy have stopped tweeting maybe they are into drinking or smoking again to be inspired lol

swinger is not effective when its not dark (clouds).
Yes I was just being sarcastic, it is funny Indians are mostly , down to earth and humble, they are blamed because cricket is big here and we have the market.English media, players are bombastic , arrogant, worse then Aussies,all the big talk and why is Andy Flower quite now, Trott , Bresnan , Finn trying to get into Kohli and Gambhir's face,they do not have class. After an unsuccessful tour , the pitches , weather, DRS, bcci EVERYTHING WILL BE BLAMED , maybe the English tour for India has been a lesson for Selectors and Dhoni and looks like they have learned some lessons.

London: England's left-arm spinner of Indian origin Samit Patel has admitted that on-field verbal duels with Indian players have continued from the last series. There were a few altercations between several England players and Indian batsmen Virat Kohli and Gautam Gambhir during the second ODI in Delhi. Samit Patel has admitted that on-field verbal duels with Indian players have continued from the last series. Patel was quoted by The Sun newspaper that they will carry on sledging in an attempt to "get the Indians out of their comfort zone." But the British paper admitted that this "tactic backfired badly in Delhi as India stormed to their second crushing win of the series." Patel said: "It carried on from the England series back home. Guys don't forget and I'm sure the Indians have had a bit of stick after we beat them 3-0. I don't think they were particularly happy with the way they played in England and they're trying to show us why." The portly spinner also added: "I'm sure they love to give it out, so they can take a bit from us. We wanted to play a positive game of cricket and we didn't leave anything on the park. "We want to get them out of their comfort zones. No one likes to target India in India because of the crowds and our guys would like to do that. England teams who have been here in the past have taken a backward step. I love the fact that our guys are taking it to them LOL wonder what he is smoking, Samit is trying to make fun of his own ancestors calling them weak and easily bullied, old British trick Divide and Rule, Samit trying to change his stripes, he should change his name to Sammy Pat lol get a color change to ala Jacko.

I think this will be tough. Mohali will definitely favour England's bowlers more than ours. Even though they got crushed in Delhi all of their batsmen got starts, which is what worries me a bit. Hope India keep the intensity up and sledge those morons back. If India can somehow win this match and wrap up the series I don't see England winning either of the 2 remaining games.

Slow turner at Wankhede for Ind-Eng ODI More... Slow turner at Wankhede for Ind-Eng ODI Press Trust Of India Posted on Oct 19, 2011 Mumbai: Expect a slow turner at the Wankhede Stadium here in the fourth and penultimate one-dayer between India and England on Sunday, said ground curator and former India opener Sudhir Naik on Wednesday. "It will be a slow turner, slower than what was prepared for the World Cup final (between India and Sri Lanka on April 2). It is going to be a dry wicket," he said. According to Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) sources, the Indian team management had sent in a request for a "slow turner" and that's exactly what would be served to them. This will be India's second ODI here after the venue underwent a massive renovation before the World Cup. Wankhede hosted two non-India league matches of the World Cup before the grand finale, which Mahendra Singh Dhoni's team won beating Sri Lanka. The MCA started selling tickets of the fourth ODI from Wednesday. The highest denomination of ticket is for Rs. 20,000 in designated corporate boxes and the cheapest is for Rs. 1,000 for the popular Sunil Gavaskar stand on the east side of the stadium. Wankhede is also scheduled to host the third and final Test match between India and the West Indies from November 22-26.

Samit Patel lifts lid on India feud http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/cricket/3880023/Samit-Patel-lifts-lid-on-India-feud.html From JOHN ETHERIDGE in Mohali Published: Today SAMOSA PATEL has revealed bad feeling with India's players still lingers from the summer. All-rounder Patel, 26, explained why several England fielders launched a verbal tirade against batsmen Gautam Gambhir and Virat Kohli during Monday's feisty second one-day international. And he warned they will carry on sledging in an attempt to "get the Indians out of their comfort zone". Trouble is, the tactic backfired badly in Delhi as India stormed to their second crushing win of the series, with Kohli making a brilliant century in a 209 third-wicket partnership with Gambhir. Patel said: "It carried on from the England series back home. Guys don't forget and I'm sure the Indians have had a bit of stick after we beat them 3-0. "I don't think they were particularly happy with the way they played in England and they're trying to show us why. "I'm sure they love to give it out, so they can take a bit from us. We wanted to play a positive game of cricket and we didn't leave anything on the park. "We want to get them out of their comfort zones. No one likes to target India in India because of the crowds and our guys would like to do that. "England teams who have been here in the past have taken a backward step. "I love the fact that our guys are taking it to them."
