India already eyeing a whitewash

Yuvraj Singh again proved that he is a star of the one-day game as he single-handedly destroyed England for the second time in a week to put India 2-0 up in the seven-game series and leave the tourists already fighting to avoid a humiliating whitewash.

That may seem a bit of an outlandish suggestion, with five matches still to go, but the facts are pretty simple. India are a much better one-day side than England. They are full of confidence, they have home advantage and Yuvraj is on fire.

Bet365 clearly don't think it's impossible as they make a 7-0 scoreline just a 7/2 shot. That's third favourite in the correct score markets, behind a 6-1 and 5-2 win, which are both 2/1 chances. A 4/3 win is available at 9/2. while England are 14/1 to win it 4-3 themselves and a massive 66/1 to win all the remaining five games.

That just won't happen. They may sneak the odd game, two at most, but they are so much weaker than the Indians that it is becoming a bit of an embarrassment. If India bat first, I can't see England ever beating them.

India are 4/11 to win the third match in the series, to be played in Kanpur on Thursday, while England are 2/1, their biggest match price yet.
