A truly absorbing contest but Viru single handedly took the game away from the Poms. Something for me to gloat about when I go back to UK :D @Scorpicity

Otherwise the fire will die away. We should let it simmer inside coz only then we will never cease to demand answers.<br/><br/>England made a wonderful gesture by coming back, and donating half their match fee to the victims(sorry, I don't want to believe in the whole IPL conspiracy theory). I salute them. The fans have responded by coming to the stadium in decent numbers and the teams provided us with 5 fantastic days of cricket. Even the weather gods smiled for once :) Good stuff! @SP, @Som

Can't believe this was the same country that lost that test to Pak by 13-odd runs when Sachin got out. I love this new found belief that our team has :) @Sam

I was on my way to India.<br/><br/>@Tarun<br/>Welcome to the blog. Being a huge fan of RD myself, it really hurts to see these kind of comments. But if his slump continues I don't know how much longer we can justify him being in the team with guys like Pujara waiting in the wings. I hope Dravid is not remembered as someone who had to be pushed out of the team. If he has to go, I hope it is on his terms. He deserves it. Apologies to all for the delay in responding back. I was on my way to India.

Irrespective of win or defeat, KP & Co grew in stature by first deciding to defy terror and returning to India and then by donating half the match fees for the Mumbai victims. Take a bow, sirs.
