2-0

Well, India have just taken the second one-day international (of seven), but England put up a much better show this time. They were still outclassed, but not ludicrously so. It would be fair I think to say that Yuvraj made the difference between the two sides -- his second consecutive quick-time century, and also 4-28 with the ball. And that with a bad back. What a player!

This game took place in Indore, where (most of) my family live. The stadium is even named after one of my distant relatives. Glad to see the crowd got a good game to watch. I think though of my late cousin Baba, who was a big cricket fan (which is another way of saying, he was Indian). He actually suffered his fatal heart attack while watching the recent second Ind-Aus test on TV, and would certainly have been at today's game.

Mm, even the Indians were baffled I think. Bopara will need a bit of support to help him reach the top rank, but tbh I'd been expecting him to cave in for lack of it before now.
