My review of Team India for the game Vs England

Virender Sehwag – 5/10 – got off to a flying start, needed to carry on.

Sachin Tendulkar – 8/10 – a brilliant hundred… paced his innings very well.

Gautam Gambhir – 5/10 – got a start again just like the previous game… again failed to make a bigger score.

Yuvraj Singh – 4/10 – made a 50 but slowed down in the batting powerplay… bowled poorly, fielded ok.

MS Dhoni – 2/10 – made some runs but a poor display of captaincy… never put any pressure on England till he was forced to do so when they took the batting powerplay.

Yusuf Pathan – 2/10 – got out cheaply… bowled poorly.

Virat Kohli – 2/10 – got out cheaply… dropped a catch.

Harbhajan Singh – 0/10 – got out for a duck… then as a senior spinner in the side failed to apply any pressure on the batsmen… dropped a catch too early on of Strauss.

Zaheer Khan – 3/10 – started poorly… came back strongly in the 3rd spell.

Munaf Patel – 2/10 – bowled poorly... gave width early on and could not defend 14 runs in the last over.

Piyush Chawla – 1/10 – looked extremely nervous… bowled short balls all through… gave two sixes in the 49th over.

Overall Points

Batting – 7/10

Bowling – 3.5/10

Team – 5/10
