England v India One Day Series Betting 2011

Things always seem to flair up in One Day International matches between England and India. Everyone remembers the pictures of Freddie Flintoff taking the final wicket to win a game in India before whirling his shirt around his head like a maniac before Sourav Ganguly did exactly the same thing the next summer at Lords. The MCC members did not look pleased.

England v India one day series betting 2011 could be a lot closer than many are thinking at this stage. India will of course have the momentum because they have just won the World Cup but England are playing in their own back yard and will have a support advantage, despite the number of British based Indians who will be roaring on their heroes.

England v India one day series betting 2011 will cover five matches between September 3 and September 16. These five matches will be held at; Durham, The Rose Bowl, The Oval, Lords and Cardiff.

England v India Key Contests

There are going to be a number of individual battles during this series that go a long way to deciding who lifts the trophy at the end of the five matches. There are England v India key contests all over the two squads.

Sachin Tendulkar against the England bowling attacking is going to be a huge contest. Fair enough this is not one man against another but Tendulkar carries the reputation and persona that will destroy England if the whole attack doesn't work together as a unit.

Virender Sehwag is one man who has always dominated Sports Betting markets and Cricket Betting markets wherever he has played the game. Sehwag can score centuries in no time at all and he will have to be tied down by the likes of Graeme Swann and James Anderson.

Key England Players

Kevin Pietersen is going to be one of the key England players because he is one of the few players in the England ODI side who can take India apart in the same way that Sehwag and Tendulkar will repay the favour.

Pietersen has not featured too prominently in One Day Internationals Cricket Betting in the recent past but he always looks more comfortable when playing at home. This could be to do with the fact he has his family and friends just around the corner but there are no arguments at all from an England point of view.

Jonathan Trott will also have a big role to play. He is one of the key England players because he needs to carry on the momentum that he has built up over the early stages of his ODI career. Many said Trott would not be able to adapt to the 50 over format of the game, how wrong they were.

Key Players for India

There are a number of key players for India who will be under pressure to perform besides from the obvious big names. This will be a big series for Indian captain MS Dhoni. Dhoni hit the winning runs at the World Cup but he has not played well as a batsman in the side for a very long time.

Zaheer Khan will be one of the key players for India. Khan is not getting any younger but is still bowling a good variety of seam deliveries that get him a lot of wickets. However, batsmen now look more willing to take him on and a lot of the wickets that Khan took at the World Cup were down to batsman error as opposed to anything else.
