First of all - Thank you English Cricket team for coming back. It should go down in history as one of the finest off-field decisions.
England should not beat themselves for this loss. This was more an Indian victory than English loss. The only area that merits question is the English run-rate.

Kalyan, Chennai, India

It was always a big ask - do they go? don't they? little prep apart from a 5 - 0 drubbing. But thats not the point - you don't bow down to terrorists - ever! Good lads - you tried your best, turned in a great game of cricket and that was more important. (Just win the next one please...)

James, Tring,

I'm a British Indian and am so proud of both teams! :)

England team has earned their respect from Indian ppl not only by coming back to play cricket bt also with their performence.

From whole of India lots of love to english ppl for standin with us in our time of need.

saurabh, Delhi, India

Cricket. Good. Now there's a thought. No doubt the bad weirdos who run the game will schedule Englands next tour of India as a mix of six hundred and fifty five one-dayers, and two, actually, probably, just the one test match, if at all. Probably none. Lord preserve us all

Nick Lewis, Glendaruel, Scotland

It was one of the best test matches I have ever watched.

As an Indian, I salute the English team for going ahead with the test series in the current circumstances and they have won the hearts of millions of Indians with their gesture.

Win or loss, Kevin Pieterson and boys are genuinely heroes.

Gutted we lost the match, but proud we showed solidarity with our friends in India. The best team won but more importantly Sportmanship and Friendship and The Men with Bats and Balls Beat the cowards with Grenades and Guns.

It was a wonderful test match to say the least.

We indians are overwhelmed by the wonderful gesture shown by the England team by coming back to India after the terror attack. Thank you for supporting us.

It was a great match given the circumstances. People of India will always be grateful to England and its cricket team for standing by its side in need of crisis. And Pieterson, you are now part of Indian cricket folklore as a hero.
