Well done India.' date=' Although it would have been 2-0 victory if not for Dravid's brain farts.[/quote'] agree. But 1-0 or 2-0, you guys comprehensively beat England in a test series in their own backyard, well done.

Amazing victory. None gave India a chance. England have been playing cricket all summer and beat West Indies 3-0. A lot here including me thought India will find it hard to compete against England. I predicted a test win but not a series win. The series win keeping in perspective India's record during the world cup and before that is a fantastic achievement indeed. It doesn't matter the last test match was a draw or not a series win in England is a top class achievement. It was a team effort and none can point finger at anyone for once. For those that doesn't know the series results since 2002 in England take a peek :
