England faces a tough challenge as they take on India, who are in top form and unbeatable. The match is expected to be dominated by India's spinners on a pitch that favors them.
The barren landscape outside the spaceship-shaped ground that lies on the edge of a motorway is reminiscent of Tatooine. And the manic, hectic atmosphere of the place wouldn’t be out of place in the Mos Eisley Cantina in Star Wars either., will feel like they’re a long way from home when they return to the Ekana on Sunday.
The venue is also tailor-made for India in two very specific ways. Firstly, there’s a pitch that is expected to offer plentiful turn, playing into the hands of a formidable trio of spinners in Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav. “I don’t know,” said batting coach Marcus Trescothick. “I think I thought we were going into the last game with everything in order to do what we needed to do. And then we didn’t show the standards of performance we needed.
The fact Trescothick was put up for media duties on the eve of the match tells you all you need to know about how this World Cup campaign has gone.Since that humbling by Sri Lanka on Thursday that effectively ended England’s World Cup campaign, we’ve had golden eggs , silver bullets and, on Saturday, candles in the wind .But you cannot help but feel sorry for everyone who is put up for media duties right now. There’s not much they can say.
