2nd ODI ratings

my ratings for the two teams for this 2nd odi......

ENGLAND:

Alistair Cook: 3- lasted 4 balls with the bat, and he gets the 3 for his captaincy in the game
Craig Kieswetter: 3, also didnt last long with the bat, and gets his marks for his keeping
Jonathon Trott-6, made a quickfire 34 but didnt really push on
KP: 7, top scored with 46, and looked impressive before getting out
Ravi Bopara-5, got a start and didnt build on it
Jonny Bairstow-5 same as ravi bopara
Samit Patel-6 got a start with the bat, but was poor with the ball
Tim Bresnan-5- two early wickets but not a lot with the bat
Graeme Swann-6 didnt look particarly threatning, but offered some control
Steven Finn-5 Bowled quickly and aggresively, but was wayward
Jade Dernbach-4- poor

INDIA-

Parthiv Patel-3, must be someone better than him
Ajinkya Rahane-3-poor game, but is promising for india
Gautam Gabmhir-8, very good innings
Virat Kohli-10, fantastic innings with the bat, not a bad bowler either
Suresh Raina- not required
M.S.dhoni-6- for glovework
Ravi jadeja-5 poor with the ball today
Praveen KUmar-6- was a bit wayward not his usual self
Vinay Kumar-9- very good with the ball today, and got his career best figures
Ravi Ashwin-6-tidy
Umesh Yadav-6, good pace but accuracy needs to improve

Bresnan lower than Swann?

Cook - 1: got out to his bread and butter shot, and didn't captain that well either (though not really his fault as bowling and fielding was poor at best). Took a good catch. Is the tiredness affecting him too?

Kieswetter - 1: poor shot to get out, again. Kept well but needs runs or his place could be under threat.

Trott - 4: got a good (and rapid) start but couldn't go on. Dropped an easy catch so loses one for that.

KP - 6: got a start, looked in good touch, hit two lovely sixes, then got himself out.

Bopara - 5: got a start, got out. Not the best fielder, and bowling was ineffective.

Bairstow - 6: got a start, got out. Anyone see a pattern developing here?

Patel - 5: got a start, got out (though was a bit unlucky as ball kept low). Fitness levels still questionable: he looked knackered as he came off after his innings, and fielded badly. Bowling fairly rubbish.

Bresnan - 6: dreadful shot to get out, but picked up the only two wickets. Bowled with heart despite looking exhausted.

Swann - 2: couldn't deliver for once. Looked incredibly jaded and wasn't doing anything much with the ball, bowled too short. Dropped a catch and at one stage stopped the ball with his foot. Needs a rest.

Finn - 4: was unlucky in his first spell as he kept beating the edge or finding it only for the ball to go for four. Was able to summon up 93 mph in his third spell so good energy. Looks reasonably competent with the bat.

Dernbach - 2: still not convinced by him in the 50 over game. No great threat, and India seemed to play his slower ball well which is worrying. Needs serious work on his running between the wickets too.

Overall: Too many starts with the bat (five guys got past 30, not one got to 50), and looked really tired and/or disinterested in the field and with the ball. Guys like Swann, Bresnan, possibly Trott too need a break.

what i was thinking.

They were generous as well

Cook got marked up for captaincy
Craig as he's the keeper
Trott was dire
Deadweight was dire
NoHopara was dire
Bairstow put in a good little innings and showed some intent
Samit was probably our best batsman

Trott and Pietersen were actually very good right up until they got out. Both worth a 7, in my opinion. Would have given them an 8 had they got 60-80.
