England makes it look too easy against India

England's cricketers thoroughly deserved their 4-0 victory in the Test series against India that concluded on Monday.

Put simply, the team outplayed its opponent in every department, and showed a greater desire for the contest than the Indians, several of whom looked as though they wanted to be anywhere but on a cricket field.

The alarm bells should have been ringing when India failed to convincingly dispatch a relatively weak West Indian team in the series before it arrived in England. A number of key players missed the trip to the West Indies, possibly to the detriment of India's chances against England.
