Sports/ Cricket: England Crush India

ENGLAND established their credentials as a World Cup bolter as a fast bowler who left Australia with the ‘’yips’’ last year returned with a vengeance at the Gabba.
Enigmatic Pommy quick Steven Finn (5-33) sent a wrecking ball through pathetic India (all out 153), almost a year to the day after flying out of Brisbane as a tortured soil.
Finn made a premature exit from Australia before a one-dayer in Brisbane after the Poms labelled him “not selectable” due to technical problems with his bowling action.
The big quick did not play a competitive match in almost three months in Australia and was the only member of the initial Ashes squad not to feature in the Test series.
Finn had the fast bowling ‘yips’ - the dreaded psychological affliction which prevents somebody from releasing the ball to any normal standard.
But that seemed a lifetime ago as he took his best ODI figures, against a woeful Indian side which struggled dreadfully with the extra pace and bounce of the Gabba.
“I have a few bad memories of Australia from last year and I am just glad we won this game and I helped do it,” Finn said.
”A lot has happened in the last 12 months and it is pretty much a year to the day that I went home from that tour of Australia.
”That corner has been turned. I felt like I turned it a little while ago.
