Even after Australia their most complete home defeat for the past two decades, English cricketers has just included in the auction weekend in Mumbai.
Kevin Pietersen, Eoin Morgan, Stuart Broad and Paul Collingwood ash all team won moderate transactions, ranging from $250,000 (£ 160,000) $ 650,000 (£ 420,000). But there is more than eight members of the team on the list of races, including Graeme Swann.
They were reduced to the status of powerless observers, such as the Australian Sydney slip fielders.
Among the other English aimed for a contract of IPL only Michael Lumb, Dimitri Mascarenhas and Owais Shah picked up transactions, discounted prices for amounts ranging from $80,000 (£ 50,000) $ 200,000 (£ 130,000).
Scheduling issues may have contributed to the lack of offers, as England test series against Sri Lanka will be clash with run-in of the IPL. But there is also an agony feeling that the English are rubbish in limited-overs cricket. Yes, we invented the game, and we always get from most things at the national level than anyone else. Yet, for most of the past 40 years, England cricketers were puzzles in pyjamas.
This impression is most up-to-date? Bridgetown on May 16, Paul Collingwood has raised the trophy world ttwweennttyy - first global limited-overs as England of any kind. The next three months will determine how it will be recalled that the victory. Is it a straw fire? Or the beginning of a renewal of one-day gathering of English?
Some will say that flower has already turned in England. They have won their last five series of 50-over, which is unprecedented. And if they perform in rideau-collector on Wednesday at the Adelaide oval, they will be a world record of 20-over with eight wins on the bounce.
Not bad for beginners. But this is still a job half done. The efforts of the past 18 months count for little if England World Cup flop this year. Their record on the subcontinent - the venue for the tournament - is still dark. In India, which will take place the final, they lost their past 12 14 completed games.
Prior to this, they have a trawl month around the major cities of the Australia. Ash is about to give way to KFC ttwweennttyy internationals. It may be a mercy, the World Cup is at hand, 50-over seven games that follow will gain some precious sub-themes of the battle for a mooring station departure in Nagpur on February 22.
"This is a huge series for us," said Collingwood, Sunday. "A victory in Australia gives you confidence and confidence levels are very important before the World Cup." But you cannot enter any type of game in preparation. When we played games of State before the tests, we went there to win. We learned that works for us and we use these games to continue winning culture. The mental side of the game is huge. »
We now enter the phase of the team of the summer. In the England camp, Andrew Strauss presents the capitanat of Collingwood for the abridged games. Australia, Michael Clarke resigned in ttwweennttyy team at the end of the series of ash, admitting that he needed to spend more time working on his technique of Test.
If the side House will be led by Cameron White in Adelaide and Melbourne. White, Victoria, captain was once considered the heir to the Crown of Shane Warne. Unfortunately for Australian selectors, his leg twist flat rose fashion more quickly that the ugg boots. But his stick came on to the point where it now strikes the ball as a right-handed Chris Gayle.
England will miss their first game in the World ttwweennttyy, Craig Kieswetter, who developed an abscess at the wrong time. But it will give a greater possibility of Steven Davies, another drummer wicketkeeper and openness, which resembles a more balanced game. Bowling, Chris Woakes of Warwickshire is the last off cabin to the status of program Performance, but it must pass Chris Tremlett and Steven Finn, if it goes to the team.
Andy Flower are required to complete the task, ending drought 50-over in England, it will probably be his biggest success. No previous coach has returned a record of one day winner - statistics showing structural problems in the County of game. Too many games are played on the heights of early season which penalize the pinch-hitting openers. Even today, it is noteworthy that the accident vascular cerebral-makers most creative side, the Pietersens and the Morgans are usually imported.
But there are other aspects of the game where in England began outperforming everyone. One is the discipline with the ball - a quality which helped Test attack claim 86 ATMs of ashes series. The other is their commissioning. Ttwweennttyy worldwide single imperfection of England was a whirling chance missed by Stuart Broad in the final. Most of the big handles in this tournament was played by drummers on their second or third life.
Thus, we return to the previous question - was Bridgetown off flukey, or the beginning of something special? Well, IPL coaches may scoff, but England have been moving on a curve to the constant increase since Strauss and flower combined. Over the past year, no English cricket fans right to the forward to a day game with a twist of optimism. And this, in itself, is a small miracle.
