Coming back from a loss in the first test
Spinners defeating India
Every single player performing - KP far from being dominant
Cook leading from the front
Anderson winning MoM
A noble debutante performance

Even if I had prayed before the series I couldn't have listed so much.

Sachin Tendulkar finished with 112 runs in six innings in the series. The average of 18.66 is his worst in a series of four or more Tests. In 18 innings since the start of the Perth Test, Tendulkar has scored 236 runs at 18.15 with one half-century.

And Dhoni has said things are not as bad as the 2007 World Cup loss.

Gavaskar periyappaa:

"Yes, England batted well. But you do not position a forward-short leg or silly point to get a catch there; you do that to force a batsman to give a catch some place else. Trott or Bell might have done something stupid then. India could have attacked more. But that's not the only reason India lost. Our bowlers were by and large ineffective."

Periyappaa also hinted at some of the senior India players not valuing Test cricket enough. "Looking at the Jadeja's, the Kohli's … you can easily see there is recognition, an appreciation there for Test cricket. It is some of the guys who have been around, who have done well in the past that are being a bit casual about it over the last couple of years."

Ganguly to Dhoni : Welcome to the club Good that you didn't have a Greg Chappell.

Hope this will be the worst and won't repeat from now

He can't repeat it anymore. I think he will be forced to retire.
