Well fought series.

Two diabolical decisions by Aleem Dar against Sachin and skipper Rahul ended India's hopes. After a great comeback after being down by 1-3 in the series the Indians failed to live up to the expectations in the finals . Every Indian hoped that India will come back with the Natwest trophy but these things happen in One day matches when everything goes wrong on that particular day.

Rahul finally decided to go with RP. While it paid of initially but the momentum could not be sustained as England comfortably snatched the match away from India. Peterson and Colinwood countered the weak Indian attack after the initial set back. Colinwood has played a stellar role in this series and lead the team from the front and manged to win the series inspite of his key bowlwers in the injury list.

As Nazir Hussain said the entire series was marked with poor decisions starting from the test series , it is time the ICC does something about umpiring. Technlogy should be inducted to enusre that the spectators get full full entertainment.

A long english summer has come to an end. A good series to remember for having won the test series and giving england a touogh fight in the one day matches.
