I was on site at a customer office when the final nails were hammered in, but I was listening up until the tea interval on my way there. It was quite incredible, and as you say, one cannot begrudge India the win, accomplished in such a fashion. The atmosphere in the crowd sounded amazing over the radio. Heartening, especially given that so much is written about the falling popularity of the Test format in the Subcontinent.
I can't be wonder what difference it might have made if Adil Rashid had been picked for the side, but perhaps that's churlish. Monty didn't seem to impress anyone much, but when Swann was at the crease, I felt that there was the possibility of something happening, although he was certainly not cheap.

Great match though.
