Done and Dusted

I've got too much going on with work and Christmas preparations to post much here tonight, but I'll come up with some more extensive and coherent thoughts about Australia's win and England's defeat later in the week. In the meantime, Tim de Lisle has summed things up typically well here.

And, in Johannesburg, the victorious Indians deserve at least as much credit as Australia. After more false dawns than I can remember their main challenge now, much like that of Australia, is to keep it going.

For Australia it's desirable; for India it's essential.
