India won the decider

India have been masterful while chasing in ODIs this year, and against a moderate total and a mediocre West Shikhar Dhawan hit his fifth ODI hundred of his magical year and the struggling Yuvraj Singh hit his first ODI half-century in 11 innings as India cruised to their sixth successive one-day series win of the year.
Indies attack, they ambled to victory in the series-deciding third ODI in Kanpur.

Smart stats

• Virat Kohli was Ravi Rampaul's 100th ODI wicket. Rampaul was playing his 80th match, making him the sixth fastest to the landmark among West Indies bowlers. Curtly Ambrose and Ian Bishop, who took 61 matches, are the fastest.
• Shikhar Dhawan hit the fifth ODI hundred of his career and all of them have come in 2013. He leads the list of batsmen with most centuries in international cricket this year.
• The West Indies batsmen made eight fifty-plus scores in this series, the most they have hit in any three-ODI series.
• The 129-run partnership between Dhawan and Yuvraj Singh was the highest for the third wicket at this venue, beating the 105 added by Chetan Sharma and Navjot Sidhu against England in 1989.
• Darren Bravo scored his third half-century of the series and became the first West Indies batsman since Ramnaresh Sarwan in 2011 (also against India) to hit three or more fifty-plus scores in an ODI series.
• India achieved the highest successful run chase at Green Park, Kanpur, beating the 256 they chased against England in 1989.
• The series victory was India's sixth in a row in ODIs, equalling their longest sequence of series wins before this, starting with the bilateral series in Sri Lanka in 2008 and ending with the Compaq Cup tri-series in 2009.

Warne sells Melbourne mansion for $13.7 million, may move to UK

Australian spin legend Shane Warne has sold his sprawling Melbourne home for around Aus$15 million (US$13.7 million) and if reports to be trusted he may move to UK.

Warne has been looking to sell the Victorian Italianate mansion, Kilkerran, for more than a year, the Sydney Morning Herald said, so he could be closer to UK-based model and actress partner Liz Hurley.

The trophy five-bedroom Melbourne home had an asking price of Aus$15 million and sold within the past two weeks, the reports said. Agent Jonathan Dixon confirmed the sale but not the price.

Warne bought the house for around Aus$8.55 million in 2009 as a family home with wife Simone and their three children before the couple split in 2010.

Warne and Hurley went through a rough patch in September with widespread reports that their affair was over, but the pair are now believed to be back together.

Jonathan Trott left Ashes Tour due to Stress related illness

Jonathan Trott, the England batsman, has left the Ashes tour with a stress-related illness that he has been

coping with for several years and will not return for the remainder of the series.

"I don't feel it is right that I'm playing knowing I'm not 100% and I cannot currently operate at the level I have reached in the past," Trott said in a statement. "My priority now is to take a break from cricket to focus on my recovery." 

Under the management of Duncan Fletcher and more recently Flower, England have cultivated a highly professional, motivated and taut team environment that has reaped some outstanding on-field results, including the retention of the Ashes through three consecutive series, temporary ownership of the world No. 1 Test ranking and victory in the 2010 World T20 in the Caribbean. 

However, some might suggest it has taken a toll on cricketers at times across the era, despite a large backroom staff covering many areas of a cricketer's physical and mental well-being. 

Trott is the third England cricketer to depart a tour with a stress-related illness in recent years. The opener Marcus Trescothick left the 2005-06 India tour and the 2006-07 Ashes tour of Australia before the first Test in Brisbane, while the left-arm spinner Michael Yardy flew home from the 2011 World Cup. Neither cricketer has played for England again.
