can't think of such a pressure game where all odds were stacked against the winning team: -Overcast, windy, and very chilly (approx. 15°C!!) conditions (for a team not use to it) -Pitch specially prepared for seam and swing to aid England's bowling unit -Lost toss, and asked to bat first, -Stop/start innings with frequent brief showers, no stop/start during England innings -not knowing what was a defendable total batting in a rain curtailed game -England being well prepared for their home conditions coming on the back of playing a Test and ODI series vs NZ, whilst Indian players were busying playing on the dry pitches of India. -Edgbaston is England's fortress in all formats -defending a very low total :hatsoff: to MSD and his men. what a fight!

1985 World Series is the only one which comes close in terms of domination.
This was better domination. I guess everyone will agree ... We won all games apart from the Finals too easily.
