England V India ***Clash of the Heavyweights*** Test, T20 and ODI Series

I'm sure I heard the SS commentators saying that India have lost the first game in all of the series over here? So all is not lost yet. :p They need to work out how to score more than 300 if they are to stand a chance though.

Well done England, completely outplayed India in all aspects!

That's a little unfair, they faught very hard and were down a bowler after the first day. They're a good side and england had to fight very hard for that win, they deserve it but there's no bad reflection on India, they were good but england were slightly better and recovered better from their setbacks.

Were India ahead at any point in the match though?

No doubt England fought hard but it was inevitable really, could see it coming!

Surprised to see you congratulating England, Spawn, suppose it is against India....
 
Is it me or did Bowden seem to get almost every single decision wrong in this test match?

Gave Pieterson out caught(Reviewed and decision reversed) plus the Tendulkar LBW shout from Broad given not out to name just a few, I my one-eyed cat could have done better...

Luckily England were good enough that these decisions didn't matter in the end, well played, now lets win all of the other tests and show the world that India aren't as good as everybidy makes them out to be.

Let's be serious eh? India missing the key batsman and bowler, and in the 2nd innings had to reshuffle their batting order because one was injured and the other was ill. In all honesty, I'm very proud that India held out for so long. It would have been a surprise for England not to win.

In terms of today's play, most of the time, they weren't great wickets. Just horrible mistakes from batsmen. Dravid played at one that he shouldn't have, so did Dhoni, possible Harbhajan too. Laxman just popped it up nicely in the air to gift his wicket again. Gambhir got a good ball, so did Sachin and Kumar.

Honestly I thought Tremlett bowled well, but for me the other bowlers were pretty average.

However, I think that England outplayed India on every single day. I think that India's downfall was just all the mistakes that they made, just too many of them.

Not happy at the moment, not happy at all right now :(
