england relies heavily on mistiming and misjudgement of indian batsmen to outswingers on high pace and rising balls to give snicks or get hit on stumps by odd inswinger or incutter. Angrez batting has practiced it against angrez bowling so not suseptible to such tactics. Swann relied heavily on player missing his high speed spin with angle in to hit wicket or give snick. He also rubs into the umpire by agression to gain LBWs. Again, both spinners and pacers rely heavily on mistiming and misjudgement of indian batting

angrez have EPL and many players from ODI-T20 play EPL.INDIA did not have program to be number 1 for test. good cop and bad cop umpiring assisted by dubious DRS replays.
if Simon Taufel acted as good cop for indian gullible like tendulkar and civil like dravid, the umpire Tucker promptly gave LBW out on Tendulkar the very next over. this good cop and bad cop tactics lasted all series. concession for Ishant by DRS was too late and they knew he wont last long.So indians were fools wheter flicking to outgoing swing balls (all along) or rising balls, Or by DRS or by poisen laced with sweet advise from angrez like boycott, chappel ,etc. Or due to bad selection or due to gangs in India XI team or due to fitness issue or not having program to be number one with best indian ex-players like kapil dev, kumble, etc. leading that program. The program that encompasses best equipment, fitness. OVERALL, indian spirit is weak in comparison to Americans who rose to make their own games like baseball, American football, baskeball, etc. to free themselve of angrez clutches. Later angrez came back through texas but american games were established by then

One day matches is altogether a different game. England shouldn't be surprised if Indian Team that is more used to the shorter version of the game beats England. But to do this, Indian Team should start a fresh, clearing from mind what all happened in test series.

Players should be best performers, doesn't matter which state they come from. But they should be replaced immediately if in spite of continuous failures freshers aren't able to deliver.

If Sachin is so bad that he scores only against weak team, then how come the other best batsmen of the world who score against good teams still behind Tendulkar. Are those batmen unable to score against bad teams, or is it because people who talk like you keep all logic aside.

If a bad batsman like Tendulkar can score 500-700 in an innings then other good batsmen should be able to score 1500 runs.
I am not surprised to see India lost series by 4-0.If you see test ranking India become no. 1 after 2009 ashes lost by australia.In 2010 Australia win 1 match under this best bowling attack of bresnan,swan,broad,anderson and johnson and siddle helped to win that match.So a team who destroy no. 1 status of team australia then who is team india.Team india become no. 1 from 18 month luck by chance becouse in 8 series 5 played in home land rest in outside here new zealand,bangla and west indies are b grade team.During this tenure only south africa is a grade team and in 2 chances team india did not win series only series level either in india or south africa and australia lost by 2-0 in india not in australia and you know Team india played well in flat pitches not fast pitches.

Absolutely. Team India playing almost all of its cricket in India made them vulnerable on foreign soils against A-Class teams (England, SA, Australia).
Other teams (SL, Bangladesh, Pak, Windies and NZ ) are B/C graders and can be beaten by any A class team on home soil. But India could play a 1-1 Draw against SL recently.
