It seems only fair, for sake of balance, to report that India have just won the ODI series at home 5-0.
And there wasn't too many close games.
But, meh.

England & Australia will play each other so often over the next three seasons - I assume this won't repeat itself.

Not only was there a distinct lack of interest on BE but the crowds at the stadia were very disappointing. Too much cricket. Simple as. (How many times have the teams met recently, 18?)

The Indian interest in the India ODIs is probably not helped by the domestic focus on the T20 slogathon that is currently in vogue.
That and the fact that England aren't, historically, a great one-day side.

I'll be tuning into Test Match Sofa later, I managed to get some ODI commentary from a SA radio station (via my iThing) earlier so I'll try that too.

Even stevens with SA slightly ahead.
Radio 2000 in SA have live coverage. Unusually, ABC radio are covering it too.

Radio 2000 was the one I was listening to the other day, not bad coverage at all. ABC are onto it too? Blimey ...
