England's Ravi Bopara bats watched by India's Mahendra Singh Dhoni (R) during the ICC World Twenty20 cricket super eight match at Lord's cricket ground in London in this June 14, 2009 file photo. Three consecutive ducks in his first three tests were the worst of times for Bopara. Centuries in his last three test innings are the best. Through both early failure and recent success, England's new number three has tried to keep sport and life in perspective.
