India vs England: Second ODI Review
In a sentence It was like 1992/3 all over again as India walked to a comfortable victory of an England team which looks ill-fitting for subcontinental conditions.

England vs. India: Second One Day International- Preview
Due to the rain in Chester-le-Street that forced the first One Day International to be abandoned, this series does not feel like it is properly underway yet. Let’s hope it gets going in Southampton instead.
The Samit Patel Fan Club Newsletter
After an absence of over two years, Samit Patel has returned to the England fold this summer. In the interim many hours of debate during rain delays centred around how big a difference he would make to the side. We’ve managed to resist the obvious joke long enough to belatedly join the discussion.
England vs. Ireland: A Sort of Preview
After the euphoria of a 4-0 series whitewash against India and the presentation of a mace, what better way for England to march triumphantly forth than to play a One Day International against Ireland?
