The fourth match was again a hands down win for India.It is amazing that when Indian batsmen are able to bat well against English bowlers, why English batsmen have consistently failed to score runs. They have shown their weakness against spin bowling, but Indian pacers have also done better than ‘world class’ pace bowling attack of the English bowlers.
Indian captain MS Dhoni is on cloud nine with the prospects of his side winning the series 5-0. “We wanted to win 5-0 in England, but we couldn’t. It’s not always just what you want – you have to play well. We’ll try to win it 5-0. But the main motivation is just to go out there and play good cricket”, says Dhoni.
Alastair Cook on the other hand is on the defensive. “There is always that balance, as we know, and part of our responsibility as a side is to get that. Sometimes on this tour, we might not have always got that balance – but I didn’t see too much wrong this time”, says he.
