England win by an innings and 8 runs and win series 4-0 Plenty of smiles for England as they head off, each player gets a hug and a smile from Andy Flower as they go back into the dressing room, that doesn't come easily. England are officially the best team in Test cricket and India, after this loss, slip down to third. There was some fight this morning as Amit Mishra and Sachin Tendulkar flourished but when Mishra fell to offer a crack in the line up, England burst through violently. Seven wickets fell for 21 runs to seal the clean-sweep. Incredibly India have not made more than 300 in all eight innings. It's been the sort of performance from India that demands serious consideration. Reviews after series like that are all the fashion but can the BCCI appoint someone independent to do that? I guess all will be revealed soon but this is probably the time to celebrate a brilliant England team. Since the Ashes started England have won six by an innings two more by over 200 runs. They are a fine, fine team.
