|
| This has been a magnificent win for the Indians, fourth win on the trot. Mahendra Singh Dhoni would be a proud captain, he has marshalled his troops brilliantly, one win after the other and he now looks like taking his side to the Numero Uno position. With this win, the Indians have won the series. Disappointment for the visitors as they couldn't do anything special in this must win clash too. Duckworth-Lewis once again going India's way, but this time around the Englishmen can't complain. Simply because of the fact that they were outdone by some smart cricket. It was only Owais Shah who entertained English chances but other than that, none came close to pose a big threat to the Indians. This is a big learning curve for the Englishmen, hopefully they come back in the next three games as a better side providing better competition to the home side. |
