Professional sports is an interesting thing.
In the old days, teams would arrive, play a few warm up games, try and get runs into the batsmen and overs into their bowlers.
That is the wrong way to be.
You should throw away your practice games like the plastic that wraps around your favourite cheese slices.
England understood this.
So when they had a practice game before their 83 one dayers against India, they simply threw it away and went back to the Gym to work on their glutes.
In the past international teams would have been embarrassed to lose to a team that is basically a club cricket side.
That is old school thinking.
In this new age of thinking, blue sky red ocean green whore, this all makes sense.
The England players now can re-hydrate with red bull isotonics, check their facebook profiles, and call their agents for the latest offers.
Obviously the only batsmen who needed a hit were Swann and Anderson, so they put on 34 for the last wicket, and then England went home.
By then it was 3 o’clock, and they had batted for 25 overs, more than enough.
KP is an astute leader, as well as letting his players keep all their match energy for the 1st one dayer, he has also lulled the Indians into a false sense of absurdity.
He knows that India is confident as, and that is a good sign for England.
I am surprised that England even got to 98, for maximum effect they should have let the opposition get 400 and then make 50.
But a good day for the England I am sure you will agree.www.cricketwithballs.com... We constantly get sodomized down the legside
