Well done England

Spineless batting performance from India in losing 10 wickets over two sessions. Outside of a few passages of play, the series has been largely one-sided, with one team trying to play catch-up. England fully deserve to knock India off the top spot.
When are the saffers due next in England ? Looking forward to another nail-biting series between the two now that this series hasn't exactly lived up to its billing thus far.

That was ridiculously easy. Pathetic gutless display from India. They let their millions of fans down today with that batting performance. Huge problems going to the next match though as they have 3 of the top 6 unable to play short bowling and the 2 men who may well come in are currently injured so there is no guarantee they will do any better.
As for England, we steamroller on to yet another unbeaten series and does anyone expect India to stop us becoming number 1 in the next few weeks as the gulf in class between the sides has been massive so far.

Reminds me of our 2nd innings display at Perth...

Well done spineless India, you achieved your goal of not rocking the boat with the Bell incident. Prefering to make sure you don't upset the big bully and happily laying down to take the beating. Wimps.

Next summer. Sadly it's only a 3 Test series due to dumb scheduling.
What I'd love to see happen is for the ODI series to be scrapped in favour of a 4th Test and say to CSA 'we owe you an ODI series.' Won't happen though.

Tbf, without them we would've been 130ao first up and God knows how big a lead India might've been able to build."Did you lose it that first day evening?"
"Probably, those 100 runs really hurt us."
Take those 100 runs it would have been close...

The problem is we struggle to fit in additional series in our season and it's a 6 Test summer due to the Olympics (IIRC) - besides, 4 Test series aren't ideal, if they could go with 5 then that's a different matter.

Yeah, just I can't see them bouncing back like we did. They look a tired team who are mentally shot.
Maybe winning the World Cup has taken the edge off them. Remember how bad we were in Pakistan in 05 after beating Australia, eye off the ball and all that.

I just think it's down to how good a side England.are.
India got whacked in the first Test v South Africa but came back strongly in part because South Africa dropped the ball in the 2nd Test. India had their chance to bounce back but England pulled things back.

Wouldn't disagree there.
The thing is I think most England fans know we are a good side and probably are the best around at present but the players are maybe even surprising us with some of their performances in the last few years. We aren't just winning matches we are thrashing teams match after match which no England side in my lifetime has done. Long may it continue.

Congrats England for that absolute mauling you just gave to India. Looking forward to see how Sehwag performs in the next test.
Is Trott going to be in the next test?

Not a bad shout, was it? Broad takes six in the first innings including a spell of 5-**** all, our form batsman makes a hundred 2nd dig and from there we controlled the match.
