All that is necessary for India to win tight contests is pick up a fight with someone in the opposition - it worked before, and once again last night.

(Caution: should not be tried again teams that are much better at the mental disintegration thing, like Australia - best keep doing it with England).

The video of the hour is to be found here.

Update: An open letter to Freddie Flintoff. A must read. And put the coffee down before proceeding.

Rivaled in his insulting fervour only by a hardcore Chennai Tamilian from a suburb like Washermanpet, the average Singh can run through entire generations of Flintoffs, bestowing individual terms of endearment, without ever using the same abuse twice, or waiting to catch his or (this is the scary part) her breath.

I am, incidentally married to a lass from the Punjab which contains many many Singhs. Whenever I leave laundry lying around or forget to pay the Power bill she immediately updates me of my responsibility by reminding of who I am, where I came from, what will happen to my tender parts and where I will end up in the long term all in one succinct, crisply delivered sentence that would make an average member of the Barmy Army fall to his knees and beg for forgiveness at which point she may let him off with a minor rap across the knuckles with a fridge or sofa.
