Well, I suppose 'wiped the floor with them' might be more accurate. After all the poor umpiring decisions (against both sides), I bet India plump for taking appeals next time!
Really proud of them. They lost a close series to SL and then they were 1-0 down after the 2nd test. But came back strong and won the next 3. I think Cook scoring some runs in the 3rd test gave the team a lot of confidence.
Well I think it's probably true some of the time on the grounds (no pun intended) that the home team are used to playing on that wicket. The behaviour of the wicket can vary enormously between grounds and even between different days at the same ground.
