Cook leads England to powerful win
The Report by Abhishek Purohit
September 06, 2011
England 188 for 3 (Cook 80*, Kieswetter 46, Ashwin 2-42) beat
India 187 for 8 (Rahane 54, Raina 40, Swann 3-33) by seven
wickets
Craig Kieswetter tore into India's opening bowlers and Alastair
Cook made a case for a Twenty20 berth with an effective 80 not
out that brought England a cantering victory which hadn't seemed
as likely when the visitors posted an imposing total. England
exploited the lack of depth and predictability of India's four-man
bowling attack, compounded by their specialist spinner having a
relative off day while England's snared three key wickets.
It meant that another solid Ajinkya Rahane effort that displayed his
enormous potential went in vain - the second time in three
international innings that he has made a half-century and ended
up on the losing side.
