One headline I thought I would never see on Cricinfo! Ian Blackwell’s performance so far: 6-0-16-2. He was great in the first game too with a bowling performance of 10-0-24-1. Srikkanth said at the lunch interval in game 1:

Ian Blackwell is an ordinary bowler but India made him look like a great bowler as if he is Bishan Singh Bedi.

India is struggling chasing England’s 226 and are at 125/5. Making a legend of Shaun Udal first. And now adding Blackwell to the list. India sure know how to improve the profile of pie bowlers! I have seen absolute ordinary players achieve extra ordinary feats versus India. Case in point: Chris Lewis making a century. But ordinary spinners made to look like they are unplayable is some thing else.
