Bunch of half wits who shouldnt have been out there in the first place. This was a pointless exercise. The winter "tour" for England's cricketers will be these idiotic 5 one dayers in India followed by T/20 games - a trip to the UAE to take on Pakistan in test matches and a trip to SL for 3 tests in the new year - pointless. The pursuit of money has made this a 12 month a year game now - India sufferd in the summer in UK and the TCCB are doing the same thing to the England team. Like India in the summer, you dont become a bad team overnight. India have played well here and England havent turned up - its the mirror image of the UK a couple of months ago so cudos to India for bouncing back so emphatically. I sincerely hope that Team India use this as a positive platform to go forward and tap into the wealth of new talent that they clearly have. As far as England ae concerned, I doubt that there is a drawing board to go back too - all the good work that was done in 2011 on the one day format has been wiped out in 5 days!!! Still the best test team in the world and fortunately that isnt going to be tested this time around - they way things are going, they'd lose THAT mantle as well!!!!
