Indian empire

[undyingking]

Interesting to see no fewer than seven cricketers of Indian descent playing in the England-West Indies one-day games (Bopara, Shah and Mascarenhas¹ for England; Sarwan, Chanderpaul, Ramdin and Rampaul for WI).

I'm not sure any of them other than Chanderpaul would get into the current Indian team, though. And even he only would if Dravid was in a bad patch.

Mm, I was a bit harsh there. Although it wouldn't surprise me if this current bad patch turns out to be protracted, and maybe even permanent -- he just gives the impression of being fed up with the whole West Indies thing. (And who could blame him.)

A spell with India could be just the thing he needs in his last few years...
