The Spin: finding treasure in an old Lancashire cowshed

India are in a horrible group at the T20 World Cup. Only two teams qualify for the semi-finals, which makes the presence of Australia and South Africa (who beat India 4-1 in a recent T20 series) less than ideal. But there’s still every chance India can become undisputed white-ball world champions.

Aside from that defeat in South Africa, their T20 form has been excellent since they failed to get out of the group at the last World Cup two years ago. In the last 12 months they have won T20 series in both England and Australia – and nine of their squad started the ODI World Cup final win over South Africa in November.
