Scyld Berry, in the Daily Telegraph, claims England are favourites to take the ODI series.
India are using the 10-day respite between the Tests and the one-dayers to acclimatise some of their young-buck batsmen to English conditions, and Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have made some one-day runs as well as toning up India’s fielding. But the essential problem remains: new Indian batsmen, like these two and Suresh Raina, groom themselves for stardom in the Indian Premier League, not in the School of Hard Knocks.
In the Independent, Stephen Brenkley responds to those who claim England are No.1 because their opponents were hopeless.
