broad played a key role in the whitewash of the Indian team in the test series and D/L played a key role in the whitewash of the Indian team in the one day series....there can't be a better series for the mediocre English team

one thing to realize that indians are heros only at home conditions.

It only goes to show that the BCCI is not doing its job. Agreeing to hectic tours, not resting players, sending players on tour only for a vacation with no play time. What happened in England should be a warning of really bad times for cricket in the future if the people in-charge of this game in India do not wake up. We need to find at least 8 more talented players as back up (not taking into account the damn quota system) & groom & train them so that when we are faced with injuries & lack of form of the current lot we can replace them at a moments notice. Getting to number one is one thing, but staying at the top is the difficult part. It only goes to show we were happy to just get there & not stay there.I have been a die-hard fan of cricket all my life, but I dread the day that Sachin retires, I may be looking for another favourite sport (maybe Hockey).........

I feel pity on our people busy blaming our indian players not playing for the country, but for money. Go and get some of our politicians who work for their country but not for money. God dance Indians.

Sachin out of Champions League will be fit for England tour.

The best part of the India-England series was when it finally got over. It seemed only one team wanted to play. However, I find remarks that India is only good at home quite flippant. It implies that other teams are brilliant no matter where they play. I wonder how many series have been won by Aussies or the English in India. I think I used a wrong term as the team should be called England but not English unlike a Sri lankan team can be addressed as lankans, or the India team as Indians but thats another matter ofcourse. Good that England finally won something after decades of toil. I am sure they will try and overcome the jinx of not winning the world cup, no matter where it is held. The Indians ofcourse have won the WC twice, the first time in England where they were labeled as plain lucky to beat England in the Semis & the Windies in the finals and the second time again they were plain lucky as they won on home soil. One can never win. well done to the English sorry, England.

@Kiran,India could have won all the five matches also but not in a single match India batted second .India batted in tough conditions and scored runs compared to England who had an easier time as rain and wet conditions ensured that spinners were negated and India were playing only spinners as Holding pointed out in West Indies

After IPL when ever india played series india lost thay should not play IPL

history repeats itself. India were thrashed by Windies after the 1983 world cup and now are biting dust after 2011 world cup. On both occasions, they felt they are on top of the world but actually, India is never a world beater. Both the world cups were fluke, it is proved.

Before this tour the Indians were the champs, the stars, the no.1 ranked side and other self proclaimed things they won at home and then comes the England tour they were burned to ashes. No world champion has faced such humiliation and it just goes to show arrogance of the Indian players.

Let's be fair last year Pakistan faced a hell lot of problems then the Indians (captaincy changes,the spot fixing saga, bans on players, fights within the team) and were more mentally stressed but under Shahid Afridi they were still competitive enough to win 2 games out of the 5 matches and in the 5 games there was just the last one in which Pakistan lost badly otherwise they showed more courage.
