India to lost its first series 0-3 since 1999-2000. This is disgusting performance. This is one of the worst performance by an Indian since I have been watching cricket.
They are just getting beaten by a far superior side. No disgrace in that when the team doing it is set to become number 1 in the world and will be a clear number 1 too.

I don't have a problem with getting beaten up, but this is not the performance I expect from a team that is at no. 1 spot or aims to be among the best. I don't believe England team is a far superior in terms of talent. England were prepared for the tour, Indian team was not. If they did, they would at least put up a fight.

Agreed, makes you wonder how good this England side may be. Still young and got stacks of reserve bowlers so will continue to bowl sides out and win matches because we have so much depth to the batting.

Not saying we are as good as the Aussies were but we are probably the best England side of the last 50 years and apart from South Africa and India away nobody looks capable of giving us a game at present.

Maybe Saffa next year will be all this series could have been. Gutted it's 3-game rubber though

It is a good bowling side but not in the Aussie league of course.

None of the English bowlers seem to be ATG material at the moment. Swann perhaps but he is having a miserable series so far.

The batting depth is good but so far this team has not really been tested a lot I think. The Pak bowlers last year tested them for one.

Sanz, I feel your pain. As you say, it's one thing to be well beaten, it's another to roll over and let the opposition tickle your tummy.

India not being prepared is an excuse which can be used during the 1st but time the 3rd test comes around and you are still getting battered, then lack of preparation doesn't really hold much weight. Only Sehwag can now say he was undercooked.

Just remember, if India don't win a Test, that's two years I get your avatar for, rather than the one that already looks secure
