4th ODI @ Old Trafford tomorrow & a day/nighter once again.
Flintoff is back for England whilst Mascarhenas faces a fitness test but I dont see the latter forcing his way back into a winning side. Collingwood is a doubt with illness & its an interesting choice between KP & Fred who captains if required. It might be too soon to go back to Fred but it would be a real slap if they went for KP you'd feel
India have high profile wins against England & Pakistan here but I think its a leave alone until in play tbh as its gone very much the setting sides way so far. The difference is that Englands bowling is backed very much by the better fielding side givbing them a chance chasing under lights if they restrict India to a modest total. India, I feel, have to bat first to stand a chance as their fielding is, quite simply, shocking
I'm happy with my money on I think & I'll review in play if possible.
Incidentally, Bells form is being put down to him netting with a thin bat, which theyre trying to make sound revolutionary. The fact theyre the same weight as his normal bat may be new, but I remember one of our lads turning up with one about 3 years ago made by Hunts County. Theyre actually pretty good once you get used to it & obviously the point is it means your'e hitting the ball in the middle more.......but you have to get over the fact that your stumps get mashed off all of the first 5 balls you face
at least.....
