EDGBASTON, MAY 29: There must be something to superstition. Considering how much the England team feel they benefited by way of good fortune from the use of the Manchester United coach, may be there is something to this after all.The England cricket players swear by the Manchester United team bus now. They have done well whenever they have travelled in it this summer and the only game they went to in another bus they were bowled out for their lowest score ever in a One-Day International.Cricket is a superstitious game, perhaps more so than many. But this United coach business is becoming something of a mantra. Since the cricketers did not have the use of the coach when United were in Europe completing their big treble, England feel they had lost their good fortune. Maybe Mark Ealham sat in Ollie's favourite seat this morning for he was the outstanding performer as England restricted India to 232. He may have derived all his luck from the Norweigian striker, who scored the all-important goal in the nickof time. Not only did Ealham return the most economical figures of two for 28 from 10 overs, the Kent all-rounder also got the lucky touch to what was a major turning point in the Indian innings Saurav Ganguly's run out.
