Win no.3 for India at a loss of one wicket. Dhawan was short of a century by 3 runs, but both he and Rahane who scored a 106, managed to give India a very comfortable victory.
England 206 all out in 49.3 overs
India 212/1 in 30.3 overs
India clinch the series and it is humiliation for the English side. Swann was perfect in stating the obvious.England will never get past the first stage,at this rate.
Rahane and the unexpected attack from Dhawan were assuring and India will now look at a white wash.i would love to see it happening on the English soil..
HISTORY beckons..P
I didn't want to watch the match after the first 18 overs as I knew tht Indians are going to win his one without any sort of fight. It seemed like Dhawan and Rahaane wee toying with bowlers. It's amazing what change in the color of ball can do for you.
Disappointing, yet too predictable from England. At what point do the selectors look to make wholesale changes? Just an all around poor performance from England. The batting is a serious concern. The bowling isn't much better.
Whole sale chia he is simply unnecessary but what would be your 15 and please select English players not people who have not gone through our education and sporting system to have built up some loyalty for us.
England haven't been in any of these games against India and have now lost five out of the last six ODI series, the only series victory coming against the West Indies. To say that wholesale changes aren't needed seems like burying ones head in the sand to me.
It's pretty clear that the team as constructed is not good enough. The continued results and performances speak loudly.
As for my own 15, I wish to put out the best 15, regardless of where they were born. If they qualify for England and they are the best available players, play them.

As much as I would like to see KP back in the team, I am not sure that he is the answer. He has only played t20 cricket this year and in the 26 games he played he didn't fare all that well, scoring 549 runs at an average of 24.95 with just one fifty and a high score of 58.
