It's time for some tension-filled post-colonial cricket between India and England, and things are already off to a momentous start as Zaheer Khan of India has already accused the English of something truly dastardly: throwing jelly beans at him during India's thumping of England on July 30th.
Zaheer claimed that England's fielders had tried to put him off by throwing jelly beans onto the wicket when he was batting at Trent Bridge on Sunday... He said: "I felt it was insulting - I wasn't sure where it came from but it definitely came from a fielder."
Dastardly indeed! Cricket players sometimes take jelly beans onto the field with them during matches for energy, which explains what they're doing on the scene in the first place. England, who lost to India in a test match for only the fifth time on their soil, made no effort to deny their bombardment of Khan, with Paul Collingwood playing the part of spokesman for the team.
"Zaheer wasn't too pleased - I think he prefers the blue ones to the pink ones."
Should tensions get too high, however, we can always count on Indian squad member Sri Sreesanth to keep things light with his irresistible dancing. Dance, you beautiful man, dance!
