2nd ODI Preview : England's 500th One Day International

Filed under IndvEng Indore

Paul-Collingwood-500-England-Match.jpg How first ever one day international was played? it was a 5 day test match with first four days rained off, so both captains decided to play it as limited overs match.. on 5 January 1971.

England lost it to Australia by 5 wickets.

Limited overs cricket aka one day Internationals instantly caught spectators eyes and today we stand at 2776 ODIs played Internationally as compared to only 1892 tests played world wide.

Somehow, England didn't like ODIs as much. having featured in the first ever, England will only now complete 500 One day Internationals on 17th November 2008, tomorrow, whereas Australia 687 ODIs, India 697 ODIs, New Zealand 551 ODIs, Pakistan 690 ODIs, Srilanka 561 ODIs and West Indies 598 ODIs have moved on with the shorter version of cricket.

As far as this India vs England 2nd ODI at Maharani Usharaje stadium in Indore is concerned - England, having lost the 1st ODI, will be looking to get bit more aggressive in everything they do - according to Coach Peter Moores.

Fitness of Yuvraj Singh is still a concern.

Here's England's ODI report card upto today. 16 November 2008.
