Sorry you were left on your own yesterday, Alex. I was out the door a few minutes after Tendulkar was out with India on 116 for 1, so I guessed a drubbing was likely to be served. England consistently winning at ODIs was too unlikely to last.

i think the two teams are evenly matched in terms of batting and bowling with fielding giving england the edge. india ends up defending or chasing atleast 20-30 extra runs. overall its been a good contest, both the tests and the one dayers, whoever wins, its been a satisfying series.
and the loss in the 4th one dayer was india’s best loss ever, it was not offered gift wrapped on a platter as we normally do!
