MS Dhoni inspires India won by 126 runs

In a topic of minutes, what was talented to be a contest ended in mortification for England, helping India end a winless line of 11 matches in 2011, On a measured, low wicket at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, skipper MS Dhoni (87) and Suresh Raina (61) motorized India to 300-8 with some strong hitting in the last 15 overs in which they complete 150 runs.

MS DhoniEngland was on line at 111-2 before Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja blow a hole all the way through their center order that was impractical against the spinners' subtle variation. The 126-run edge is India's second-biggest win over England in ODIs, and didn't seem expected given how evenly the game was suspended through India's innings.

There were concern about Dhoni form from first to last for long, but they can be covered for now. The Indian skipper posted his 4th ODI fifty on the trot, with scores of 69, 78 and 50 before in England. In the midst of Graeme Swann hurtle during his overs; India's score had come to a crawl. But when the set batting first Power play was claim in the 36th over, India's run-rate burst through the top.

Suresh Raina overcomes an irritating start, finishing a swift fifty by hitting Tim Bresnan over the sightscreen for an attractive six. He added 72 with Dhoni in 10 over’s, and India's revival was happening. Past in the innings, Ajinkya Rahane made a boring 15 (41balls) after being drop on zero. Parthiv Patel was run-out for 9 runs. Then Gautam batted completely for 32 but fell LBW to a impractical full-toss ball from Jade Dernbach. It left India unsure at 79-3.

Virat Kohli (37) and Raina sought after relief by trying to punish Samit Patel. But Kohli was trapped at long-off trying one time as well many to push in the scoring against the left-arm spinner. A score of 250 would have been good from here on, but Dhoni and Raina exceed all prospect. Those companies provide India the force, but Raina fell on 61, trying to slog Steven Finn. Anything hopes this get through gave England were speedily quell by Jadeja's hectic 27 and a 65-run position with Dhoni in just seven overs, which bring India to the entranced of 300
.
Dhoni finished brilliantly, employing his helicopter whips and chips over cover. After a good start, England's seamers ended in waywardly.

With England skipper Alastair Cook moving to a smoothly paced 60, the chase was well set-up. India's pace bowling attack with Vinay Kumar and Umesh Yadav was untested. But their swift crush to spin was classic. Starting with Jonathan Trott, consecutive batsmen failed to get forward and low to counter the turn and immerse.

Cook holed out to cavernous midwicket off Raveenndra Jadeja. Trott missed the line difficult to slog-sweep a at once ball in Jadeja's next. England struggled to read Ashwin's carrom ball and straighter ball.Ashwin also accounted for the wicket of Kevin Petersen, with a straight hit from mid-on. Petersen was concerned profusion by Vinay Kumar, who caught on to his convention of walking down the wicket to pacers. Vinay bounce him a couple of times, once outstanding him on the arm and once giving him a sore blow on the finger.

Dhoni had investigate the playing situation here days gone by and found out there was plenty of dew. Hence he went with three pacers today.Yadav wasn't always correct, but ended up with two not expensive wickets after the spinners had done most of the break.

In a jiffy, England had lost 8-68, and the game was every one of but in excess of in the 32nd over roundabout the time India begins their fight back in the first innings. This series began as a contest between India stressed to create impetus and England going through the form of their lives. At this rate, it may end up life form a contest between India's usual strength - spin - and England's classical helplessness to counter it.

Akhtar controversial book launch cancelled

The programmed release of Shoiab Akhtar's controversial book here tomorrow has suddenly been cancelled without any reason being given.

Former India captain Dilip Vengsarkar was to release Shoiab Akhtar's autobiography 'Controversially Yours' at the Cricket Club of India (CCI) premises.

"The event has been cancelled," confirmed a CCI official, without transferring any reason.

According to sources, the event was cancelled due to unexpected conditions.

The sudden cancellation generated speculation that it may be because of the less than flattering remarks about Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.

In his tell-all autobiography, Akhtar has made many controversial claims including one where he says that the Indian batsman Tendulkar did not have the ability to finish matches in the initial stages of his career.

Meanwhile, a protest was held in suburban Dahisar today against Akhtar, for his comments on Tendulkar. Protesters carried Akthar's posters on donkey-backs.

On Monday, Akhtar is scheduled to attend another function to promote his book in the city.

England aim to dominate India in ODI Series too: Bresnan

England fast-bowler Tim Bresnan has sounded a notice to India saying that they will come hard at them in the upcoming ODI series. England, according to Bresnan, wants to inflict another whitewash on the World Champions.

India will go into the five-match ODI series, starting September 3, without five of their World Cup heroes due to injuries.

Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan have all been ruled out of ODI action and Gautam Gambhir is also likely to miss the series due to concussion.

Bresnan pointed out that India will go into the series as favourites following their victory in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 a couple of months ago. However, he added that England is a tough side to beat at home and they will be full of confidence following their 3-2 series win against Sri Lanka earlier in the summer.

"If we come out with confidence against India, we should get the result we're after. We sustained the assault during the Test matches and we'll be looking to do the same in the one-dayers," Bresnan said.

Bresnan maintained that England are eyeing nothing short of victory in all the remaining matches in the tour, which also includes a one-off Twenty20 Cricket match on Wednesday.
