very good performance from England but lets not get carried away, we fall well short when it comes to Test matches.
As for the football, yes we were a number of strikers short but it just goes to show how woefully short this country is of real talent and lets not kid ourselves, it will be years before there is anymore silverware to polish at lancaster gate

Any captain would have opted to bowl first in overcast condition. Dravid was unlucky that his decision back fired. But all credit to England the way they played. It was a Aus type game they adopted and executed it well. India will definetely bouce back after this and is destined to be a very close series than expected after the test series win.

India won't sit back..Dravid made mistake to select field first. Indian batsmans assumed this pitch as poorly batting pitch..Indians are always better Oneday side, than England

How refreshing to hear a losing captain tell it like it is, so my hat goes off to Rahul Dravid.None of the usual"we have to take the positives out of the game" after youve just been drubbed like we always hear from England. A bit more honesty from Englands camp when they lose would be nice instead of lame psychological cotton wooling.No excuses from Dravid,just pure and simple that they werent good enough and must improve.

I think India are going to loose te one day series. They are in deep trouble specially when it comes to finding some kind of consistency in batting and bowling after a defeat. After this heavy defeat I don't think they have what it takes to come back and win all the remaining matches. No chance.
