Bopara praises ‘best’ England ODI team

Ravi Bopara reckons both he and England are playing the best one-day international (ODI) cricket of his career. The Essex all-rounder made an impressive 82 as England beat Australia by six wickets with more than four overs to spare at The Oval here on Sunday to go 2-0 up in a five-match ODI series. Opener Ian Bell continued his recent good form with 75 but it was a bowling attack without injured spearhead James Anderson who put England in a position to win by restricting Australia to a below par 251 for seven. Bopara did his bit with the ball too, the medium-pacer taking one for 16 in five overs as he captured the prize wicket of Australia captain and star batsman Michael Clarke, out for just 10.
