That was an amazing over that Ishant Sharma bowled, I haven't seen anything even close to that in my short career as a cricket fan. India seemed to be falling apart after that six and "two of the widest wides ever seen at Edgbaston" (from BBC live comment), but in a matter of seconds Ishant turned to a hero dismissing two batsmen who seemed to be cruising - and both catches were made by the same man, Ashwin, but on different sides of the field. Just amazing to watch it live! And England still had a chance to win it later, but I'm so happy India could hold on.


One sentence sums best this game for me and generally you'll struggle to find a more universal truth in all sports: "People talk about technique but the better players are the ones who respond to the pressure." (MS Dhoni after the match)


Although, as I said earlier, I'm not an experienced cricket spectator and many aspects of the game are probably obscure to me, I consider Dhoni to be the best captain of ANY sports team I've seen. Maybe Richie McCaw comes close.
