By Admin
Today September 9, 2011, the 3rd ODI match between England and India at 17:30 pm in Kennington Oval, London. Indian Cricket team is still searching the first win in this tournament.

india and england
The last match among these two teams at this ground was a thriller. England set the target 316 runs on board with the help of energetic 107* from Owais Shah in 95 balls. And India was fighting with some brilliant stroke-play from their top order batsmens (Sourav Ganguly 53 off 60, Sachin Tendulkar 94 off 81 and Gautam Gambhir 47 off 57). But at the last the game went down to the wire, among the visitors needing 10 runs off the last over with three wickets in hand, it was Robin Uthappa who saw the side through with two balls to spare.

India having good batting line up with top order Parthiv, Rahane, Dravid and middle order with Raina, kholi, Dhoni. But with poor bowling still looking for the first win in this tournament. MS Dhoni should give chance to Mishra for fifth bowler and he can bat as well.

England is having good bowling attack with Broad, Anderson, Bresnan and Swann. Ravi bopara getting chance today for injured Morgan. They are confident with their batting line up.

Young talented opening batsman from India, Ajinkya Rahane needs 55 runs to turn into the top run-scorer for India after the first three matches. At present Navjot Sidhu holds the record with 148 runs.

England Pacer Anderson should play at The Oval; he will be the pacer’s 150th ODI that would make him only the fourth English player following Paul Collingwood (197), Alec Stewart (170) and Darren Gough (159) to complete this record.

The Squads
India: MS Dhoni (c & wk), Suresh Raina, Varun Aaron, R Ashwin, S Badrinath, Rahul Dravid, R Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Praveen Kumar, Amit Mishra, Munaf Patel, Parthiv Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, RP Singh, Manoj Tiwary & R Vinay Kumar.
England: Alastair Cook (captain), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Jade Dernbach, Steven Finn, Craig Kieswetter, Samit Patel, Ben Stokes, Graeme Swann & Jonathan Trott.

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
