Should Aust Split in cricket??

[wahindiawah]

HUh?? India lost to the PM 11 , fine, but was it the same team that played with Australia recently??

Also, England is suppose to play Sri Lanka in Australia, India never had the advantage of playing ANY OTHER National team in Aus other than Aus.

While you can still maintain that England would still have won two more matches had SL not been playing in VB series, but we all know thats far from true!!

Well guys, India played only a 3 test match series and a 3 onedayer series against Australia.England is playing a 5 test match series, a trinagular series involving Aus,SL and England themselves and many more side matches.So England should really win much more than 2 matches!!

So far its 11 defeats out of 11 !100 percent record

Except Sri Lanka in the VB Series in which they only won one match...against Sri Lanka...

Thats funy, the stast(cricinfo) shows that India has played just one match in Austrlia and that was a WC match that was washed out!

 

[wahindiawah]

It also shows that India has NEVER played any match against SL in VB series!

Ok, my mistake, it was the Carlton Series (which is now the VB Series) and it was against Pakistan. If you go here you will see a full run-down of the results:

Well that changes the scenario altogeather.Pakistan is/was a much stronger team than Lanka , especially in '99 when they were the WC finalists and had Anwar,Waqar and Akram at their peak!!

Funny isn't it? in that series Ajit was labelled as the Mumbai duck , but in the recent English series, the English bowlers turned him into a centurian man!!A change of bowling attack can do wonders:P:P:P

By that token, neither was the England side that lost to the PM XI the other day.

To counter that I call Mr bits and pieces from England, Craig White who India turned into a Test Centurion, and he didn't look out of place batting at number 6!

Thats a good comparison marc.

Ok, you brought this on yourself, you just wouldn't stop referring to it. Ok, Ajit may have scored a streaky century but who won the Test in the end? Go on? Who?

Yeah, and I think he even has a decent bowling average against India too

White has 4 50's in test matches to his credit besides that ton, he averages much better than Ajit and is a much better batsman.Also, Ajit scored that ton commming at number 8 slot.
And most importantly, no one has been making fun of Whites ability as a batsman.When you point out to that fact (repeatidly) that Ajit is crap as a batsman, then you should also take into account that the same player happen to have scored a ton against England in a test match!

Yeah but they have lost every game, even to NSW,Aus A and PM 11, never mind the composition of oponent team!

It was a draw actually.

And the Indian team did almost as badly, including losing to the PM 11, but according to WiW that's OK because their team was nothing like the Test team.
