English team has a strange habit of calling the shorter version of the game of cricket not so important when it loses, because it says that it considers the Test cricket is only the real cricket. But, it reached the semifinals in the World Cup, 1983 and was jubilant that it had to contend with only India in the semi-finals, which, it appeared to England then, was a safe passage to finals. When it failed, the British press called the Indian eleven the Kapil's devils. I would like the English team this time to say whether it really considers itself a genuine contender in the shorter version of the game or otherwise, a little before the Champions' Tropy begins. This way, they can clear the air and not remain ambiguous as they always have been in this area. S. Padmanabhan Bilaspur
