India's expected 0-5 pasting in ODIs

One good thing to come out of 4-0 drubbing received by India is that the expectations touched new low. No one is expecting the Indian batting line to challenge England's multi pronged attack and it is universally accepted that Indian bowling will be belted to every corner of the ground.

Indian team should keep that in mind and not worry about their reputation ( which was already shot) and play to rebuild their game and gain experience. several 50s and couple of hundreds from young batsmen would be good. A surprise win would be nice.

Bowling has been a problem for many years. Fielding is below average. Focus on these two and give them few years. Indian batting will come back on its own and in reaction to other improvements.

It won't be as bad in ODIs. I expect 1 or 2 Indian wins.

One or two wins is not bad with available Indian bowling resources. That may not be good for world champions, but I would consider 3-2 loss a good performance.

India will win 3-2. There is no strauss and Pieterson. and of course, there is no Sehwag, Yuvraj, Lafbhajan, which are all Huge pluses.

Besides, BCCI might have paid off ECB... Razz

BCCI paying off is happening all the time with India accomodating mindless schedules. AN england ODI tour of India immediately after India's ODI matches with England (sept vs Oct 2011).

The gap between two teams too much. If you had psychological advantage and home turf, it may be a difficult chasm to overcome. England has 5 bowlers who can bowl 10 overs each effectively and India is not confident that any of its bowlers can bowl 10 overs efectively. ODI is somewhat of a gamble and one good performance could change the course. However it is unlikely that India can more than 1 ODI if it can win any ODI.
