Team India: Bruised and battered in Birmingham

August 12, 2011 18:53

England are playing far better than India in the ongoing series, but what else separates the visitors from the hosts? It's the body language. As former England great Geoffrey Boycott said, "England are playing an Indian side that I do not recognise. There are players walking around just waiting for the close of play and expecting England to win the game."

Drooping shoulders, exasperation and frustration were the common expressions of the Indian players while the England players were making merry on the field. Take a look:
