Birmingham: Former batsman Owais Shah could never experience an England victory in ODIs on Indian soil. But he played a significant role for England in a rare series-levelling performance — at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium in 2006 — when the visitors beat Rahul Dravid's Indian team to end the rubber 1-1 after India took the lead in the second Test at Mohali.
His agony against India continued in 2007 when, despite him scoring an unbeaten 107 in England's total of 316 at The Oval, his side ended up losing in the last over. Shah was at Edgbaston yesterday where he figured in the England team in third ODI of that series. He scored 19 off 15 balls in England's total of 281 then, after which India were bowled out for 239. Shah, 40, now into the real estate business, spoke to mid-day yesterday.
