India England Cuttack ODI

IND v ENG, 5th ODI, Cuttack: 5th rout, 2 left (IND: 5-0)

Nov 26, 2008

Put into bat, England scored their highest total of 270-6 in the ongoing ODI series in India at Cuttack, which included a 111 runs century from captain Kevin Pietersen, but still lost out to India. Pietersen is the first English captain to register a hundred away from home.
Indian vice-captain Virender Sehwag (91) added 136 for the first wicket with Sachin Tendulkar who made 50 and gave India a flying start. Sachin became the first batsman to register 90 fifties in ODIs.
England's bowlers removed Tendulkar, in-form Yuvraj Singh (6) and Sehwag in the space of 20 runs, the last two off successive deliveries, before the hosts recovered to reach 273 for four in 43.4 overs.
For his efforts, Sehwag was named man of the match for the second game in a row.

IND v ENG, 5th ODI, Cuttack: India look to sweep England one-day series

Nov 25, 2008

India will approach Wednesday's fifth one-day international against England as the start of a new series after clinching a decisive 4-0 lead, with the tourists out to salvage some pride.
Indian vice-captain Virender Sehwag said coach Gary Kirsten wants the hosts to play with the same intensity even though the seven-match series had been comfortably won already.
"Gary said we should see the remaining matches as a three-match series and try to win them all," Sehwag said ahead of the day-night match at the Barabati stadium in this coastal eastern town.
India are expected to throw in new faces for the rest of the series as the selectors attempt to build a strong base for the 2011 World Cup, to be hosted in South Asia.
National under-19 captain and top-order batsman Virat Kohli, left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha and recalled all-rounder Irfan Pathan could make their first appearances in the series on Wednesday. There could be a further reshuffle for the last two matches, in Guwahati on Saturday and New Delhi on December 2.
England, meanwhile, will use the remaining games to get used to the fervent atmosphere in South Asian cricket ahead of the World Cup, and save themselves from further criticism at home.
