India defeated the English 5-0 in the ODIs and it was sort of giving England the taste of their own medicine but only not fully. Our defeat to England was total and complete, we did not even win a single game in the English soil and the worst of all, we went there as Test Nation #1 and WC 2011 champions. Our victory back in India is a comeback of sorts, but to call it a revenge is not appropriate or not correct. If we have to really get back at England, it should be in the test arena, ideally it should be at their home, but i don't think there is going to be another tour of England in two years, so it should be a home test series. We should pummel them like how defeated Aussies back in 2001 at Kolkata and Chennai. We should leave them doubting themselves and shatter their confidence to the extent they should think twice before casting doubt on our test position again. The defeat in England really hurt the Indian fan who was at cloud nine after the WC victory, to hit rock bottom from that height was really painful and to make it worse it was the English's self proclaimed geniuses like Boycott, Nasser, Artherton etc who cast doubt on India's ascension in world cricket. I think, the Indian team has got a lot to prove in their tour of Australia, I sincerely believe we can pick ourselves up and prove to the cricketing world that our #1 position in test cricket was not a fluke.
