Did England save skin by not sending M.Thres.& Michael.V to India?

Michael Vaughn has a knee problem and isn't fit to play. He isn't featuring in the current series against Sri Lanka either.\n\nMarcus Trescothick cited 'personal problems' for his withdrawl - although he later said he had a virus.\n\nThe strength in depth of the current England team was ably demonstrated by the call up of Alastair Cook who averaged 61 through the test series.\n\nEngland were also without key strike bowlers - although I have a theory that England want to keep Jones away from prying eyes before unleashing him in the World Cup.

I believe that this was in India, during the time of the Raj, when India was governed by the UK, the full quote is 'Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the Midday Sun'.\n\nDo to the fact that the English were not used to hot climates, and did not know how to survive in them, regularly falling foul of Maleria, until they took Metol Hydroquinine in the form of Indian Tonic Water - a horrible taste but made better by adding Gin to it, there was born the Gin & Tonic

Dont be upset my friend. India is a strong contender even though they loose the match against  windies. I feel they also need some loses in their kitty so that they could gain and grow stronger. In an article i read that India is peaking way before the WC begins . this is not good. I doesnt mean to say that they should lose most matches. But they should also loose some matches before WC to prepare well to face all the eventualities. \n\nI am not bothered by this defeat at all. Are u?

England works a touch different than the US (in regards as to where to submit), but the child may have duel citizenship.  Get to the Indian Consulate to get these questions answered

I think India qualified for the 1950 World Cup, but were unable to participate as they refused to wear football boots. They are currently ranked 117th in the world.

I am sure there was,but England still enoys me,because they had an agreement with Germany not to apply for the World Cup.Germany gave them 1996.

Zzzzzzz. Up until the Sweden game, England have just puttered along on their merry way. They weren't tested in their own end during the first two matches and didn't burst the net either against lesser teams who deserved to be thumped.\n\nThey proved they couldn't be an offensive threat without being vulnerable at the back. Sweden exploited a horrible back 4 from the dead ball situations and top teams are going to notice that weakness. They could have easily been beaten 5-2 by the Swedes were it not for a couple of clearances off the line and bad breaks for the Swedes.\n\nThey haven't been impressive and teams with offensive threats like the Swedes will attack the slow & old back four. If it wasn't for Terry, I would be putting my money on Ecuador to knock them off.

Its rediculous,nothing against Scolari,but England should never have to look abroad for a national coach.We have one of the finest leagues in world football and we are at the forefront in international circles regarding football.We should NEVER have to bring in foreigners to coach our fine national team.

I think it is stupid for any country to eliminate their standing military forces. There will always be some country out there wanting what some other country has. England of all countries should know that, with the number of wars they have been direct participants in (as either attacker or attackee).

No. Undoubtedly this action of Manmohan Singh is definitely wrong. This is done only to satisfy the Sonia and inturn Mukesh Ambani & other private industrialists. Mani Shankar did not yield to the politicl pressure of these people. So he was shifted from the crucial portfolio to lesser important Sports & Youth Affairs where his excellent communication skills, experience in foreign embassies are of no use.\n\nMy suggestion is that he can be given the most important External Affairs Portfolio.

I don't remember but it was the BJP FM who wanted to do away from the Angrez legacy of 1730 budget to suit English rulers.

Bet on India?  For what?  Are they in a contest?  \n\nBy the way, who are "u pple"?\n\nYou're not only rude, but you make no sense in this question.  Go learn some manners and some English, then ask again.

Hello\n\nI don't think the real reason was the England top. Its just an excuse, or the igniter. Most probable reason for such a criminal action is the lack of education, love and respect  from the offender. What an ignorant.\n\nI'm with you.
