England captain Michael Vaughan said he was happy with the performance of his inexperienced pace attack but admitted India played better cricket.
"We played good cricket at Lord's and I'm very proud the way my young bowlers played in the series. But India was just the better team," he said.
"Both their left-arm bowlers (Zaheer Khan and RP Singh) bowled well and produced angles that made life difficult for us. Full credit to India," Vaughan said.
For Kumble, it was a special occasion after the leggie won the Man of the Match award and it was not for his bowling.
"I did not really expect to win the award because of my batting. So it's of course a special feeling. I enjoyed my batting," he said.
Kumble confirmed having played his last Test on British soil and said, "I'll go back with fond memories. We have won a series after 21 years and we deserved it. It would be wonderful to go home victorious." |
