India's Goswami bowls 10,000th ODI ball on way to controversial win

LONDON : India's Jhulan Goswami, the leading wicket-taker in women's ODIs, bowed out of international cricket on Saturday at Lord's after bowling her 10,000th ball in one-day matches, as her side completed a 3-0 series win over England with a controversial final wicket.

England had been hoping for some redemption after losing the first two matches in the three-game series, but they eventually lost by 16 runs.
