Sehwag and Gambhir fell to over confidence and this is bad news for India. Despite India getting 338, I wish that Kohli and Raina were inter-changeable. If Sehwag is playing, then India should have Raina in the line-up over Kohli. But Kohli is India's most in-form batsman right now and can't be left out. But as was evident today, he isn't as versatile as Raina in terms of power hitting.
These are minor quibbles though because the team is consistently posting 300 plus scores. Including Piyush Chawla was a very good move. There's some variety to the attack now.
As is evident from the result, the bowling attack needs a lot of work. Every bowler got belted. Despite Zaheer retrieving the situation for India, this result should give India cause for concern. They are unable to take advantage of the pressure on opposing batsmen despite having 338 to defend.
Even without Bopara in the ranks, England comfortably hunted down India's total. The lower order non-batsmen were able to belt India's frontline bowlers for sixes. India escaped by the skin of their teeth.
