Ultimatley, it was Indias match to lose towards the end so they did hold their nerve (just!).

I've always felt that about India. They have a good talented batting line up and an impressive young crop of seam bowlers coming through. What I do find strange about India is that some very average players get hyped up beyond belief i.e. Pathan and get selected above more talented players.

If India worked on their fielding and were more consistant in their selection (as they were in the test series) they would be a very hard team to beat home or away.
