Re: England v India, who is going to win
India made a decent fist of it yesterday, shame it took until the last day of the last Test.
England deserved to win, obviously. Will be interesting to see SA's progress now before England take on Pakistan in the New Year.
The ODIs will be a bit of fun and the one-off game against Ireland will give the up and comers a chance to impress. Should be closer than the Test series too.
I have just secured tickets for the Aus vs NZ Test at the Gabba (as part of my cricket team's annual boozy event), don't all bite my hand off and offer me inflated prices now

Re: England v India, who is going to win
Absolute humiliation for India, I cant see any other team out there with the incredible depth and ability of England at the moment.
It's a shame the whole series and England becoming No 1 didn't rate a mention in the sports news.

Re: England v India, who is going to win
Well done to England, they are playing with such confidence at the moment and have that belief that they always can win. They could easily have just taken the foot off the pedal yesterday and just seen the match out for a draw but they stuck to there guns and as soon as they made a breakthrough they piled on the pressure.

Re: England v India, who is going to win
Tim Bresnan has played 10 Tests (most vs tough opposition) and ENG have won 'em all! He now has a test batting average of 45.42 and a test bowling average of 23.60. These are very serious all-rounder stats.
So we continue with the four bowler policy? Even out there on the flat tracks?

For anyone who wants to cast a shadow on a bit of well deserved crowing, walk the 1990s in the shoes of an England cricket supporter.
