Indian Summer.

What a difference a week in sport can make. Take India's ailing one day cricket team. World Cup failures in the West indies in the Summer, and then beaten by New Zealand in the first Twenty20 of their Super8 group. England could have been forgiven for having them in their pockets until Yuvraj Singh stepped up to knock those 6x6s in Stuart Broad's most infamous over.
Twenty four hours later they destroy South African hopes by not just beating them but dumping them out of their own tournament by outclassing them. I have a colleague at work who is Indian and after this win today I phoned him to congratulate him but he had not been following it at all and he is a big cricket fan - such is the level of their expectations - I think initially he thought I was having a joke with him!
I'm left awaiting a similar England turn around. We can but hope.
