It is very clear who was the winner. But did the looser realise why they lost? First it was overconfidence. Second it was lack of skill and third it was lack of 'fire in the belly'. With a laid back captain like Dhoni who himself had a very poor series, the team cannot expect to win. One collapse is enough to loose a test. India had too many this series. The team combination was poor and most of the players looked jaded by the second test itself. After Ahmedabad people were talking of a revenge white wash. At the end of it, it seems like India ws lucky to win the first test. Otherwise it could have been 3-0 if Panesar played there. Any amount of praise is less for Cook & Co. They applied themselves very well and never lost sight of the target they set for themselves. Winning the series was their mission and they accomplished it in style. They could have made the last test interesting by declaring when the lead was 250. They were more than happy with a 2-1 win and helped Bell get a ton.

Most Respected Sir, I aapologize. I told that in a fit of anger since India lost the series. But your quickfire 99 runs on the toughest track was a sight to watch. Even when you are out, you are very graceful to watch. See the photo no 565809 in Cricinfo. I was reminded of Usain Bolt....! I hope you wont reduce my payment for this error :)

LOLZ, thank you very much Sir. By the way, did IIM Ranchi return your brain they took to study?

Dear Jiju, Get your facts right. My brain is still being studied by harvard university not IIM Ranchi. They are finding it a little less complicated than the brain of SV :)
