Big Picture
Another match, 100 overs of effort at best and terrible trip to India may finally be consigned to history. Cardiff has seen the first match of England in an eventful summer in 2011, against Sri Lanka in May and is now preparing to lower the curtain on the season as well. Two ad hoc Twenty20 must be closed against West Indies next week, but for all practical purposes, with the middle of September has already passed, this competition is a real air regulations.
India reached a kind of victory to the Lord last week as they managed not to lose the fourth ODI - a struggle that was declared a tie and M. Duckworth Lewis after rain canceled the last seven deliveries match. As was the case with fading in Durham, the arrival of the rain was probably India great harm to the very time when Stuart Broad hurt, England would have struggled to rustle up 11 runs more with an adjustment tail ends still in hand.
Given the great improvement in their performance at this stage one-day tour is perhaps a pity that India has at least one part of the series to fight for the Friday, at least not for the good of souls brave Welsh robust conditions fall in Cardiff - and hopefully there will be over 922 punters on the floor, which was number turned out to see the incredible victory in Sri Lanka England four months ago.
Nevertheless, throughout this summer in England, was more ingenious in critical moments of each competition and the prospect of sending world champions at home, without even a consolation victory in ten international matches should be more than enough incentive to keep the intensity levels complemented by one more day.
India is so motivated to be seen. Certainly the fact that the team to attend CPI prices in Mayfair Monday night - despite staying in a hotel less than ten minutes on the road - it seemed a team that has proven this tour mental . With the likes of Suresh Raina and MS Dhoni late to find some form with the bat, must have weapons to give England a battle, but in reality, all attention is now focused on the other hand, India, October 14 . To win in the conditions of his own haute couture is one thing but to beat the world champions in their own den would be different.

In the spotlight
To the Lord on Sunday, Ravi Bopara old has come closer than ever did the breaking of the International Cricket. 96 tracks and 111 deliveries, he produced his best performance in England colors, but then - with the rain, and sweaters are running out of wickets - has ruined Munafo deep midwicket Patel has shown that the last ball in a game, and then left England to share the catch, instead of what could be a way to win the D / L. However, he can hardly blame the conditions, and the final score has exceeded his previous best 60 62 previous matches. Without Eoin Morgan, Bopara is a great opportunity to demonstrate its true value in one day in the coming weeks.
It was a sad trip to MS Dhoni, whose status previously unassailable as captain of India has been the subject of serious control, while his team has staggered from one disaster to the next. On a personal note, however, it is just starting to rediscover his best form as the summer winds to a close, and after digging India a huge hole at The Oval, he combined with Suresh Raina at Lord in a partnership record its 169th His personal share was from 78 to 71 bales, and him in good stead for the series returns next month, let alone a shot at that elusive consolation prize in Cardiff.

With the arrival of Parthiv Patel and Ajinkya Rahan at the top of the order, and a revival of Raina and Dhoni lowest batting of India has achieved a relative degree of strength in the latter part of the trip. As always, it is their bowling which has struggled to contain the ambitions of England. RP Singh put in a switch with the new ball at Lord's but always ended up as close to September 1, Munaf Patel, while was significant in death is not completely hide his past weaknesses. Maybe it's time to Varun Aaron blooded? They do not have much to lose.
