Lost opportunity

[ankitj]

Why didn't India just pack their bags and left England citing security concerns due to the riots? Would have saved us the ignominy of a potential 4-0 loss, and we would have maintained the #1 ranking. Dhoni is indeed poor tactically

 

[GIMH]

Um, we need to win by two to go #1. You **** off home and we win 2-0.

 

[Manee]

We stay and you win 4-0 and rape what is left of our dignity. This is like men playing against women.

 

[GIMH]

Oh India are a rabble alright. Been genuinely disappointed by how poor they've been. Put my serious hat on and I'd have to think about whether Pakistan last year were worse. Still a way to go of course and there's nothing to say they can't turn it round for 2-2 but we legitimately have been a class above.

 

[Manee]

To put in perspective. India have done the equivalent of opening the batting with Denly (Mukund) in the first two Tests and having a bowling attack of Jon Lewis, Saj Mahmood, Liam Plunkett and Chris Schofield. If you select ****, do not be surprised if you get raped.

Brilliant.

 

[Manee]

Brilliant.

Except, depressingly, Sree lacks the pace of Mahmood .

I was thinking the exact same thing. At least Pakistan had a bowling attack to restrict England to less than 200 at times. Then hope that their own batsmen cross a grand total of 100

Pakistan's bowling was keeping us semi competitive though the batting and fielding was argubly the worst ever seen from a non Bagladeshi side.India has been mediocre in both departments till now strangely their bowling has outperformed their batting.

We won 2 of 6 tests last summer India/SL has not won a single yet of 5 attempts.

Mmm. If India do go down 4-0, as currently looks likely, it'll be hard for anyone to say otherwise.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

At least we beat England once in the 4 test series.

still does not take away the fact we were hopeless in the other 3

This. Seriously i would have taken the Bangladeshi batting and fielding over ours last summer.. The batting was that bad.

5 attempts?

 

[smash84]

True. The batting and fielding was e^hopeless. Pathetic. Every time we came out to bat getting bowled for less than 100 was a real threat

 

[Xuhaib]

3 tests for SL 2 India

IF India go down 4-0....don't really have words for that. Heads will roll I suppose

 

[tooextracool]

To be fair to Pakistan, the bowling attack that showed up on these shores last summer is the only attack comparable to the current England bowling attack. In fact, it was probably better. That bowling attack would bowl out any side cheaply in those conditions.

 

[Xuhaib]

the future of this series depends on tommorow's game reckon India is still with a chance if they can keep England to 325-350 law of averages says this Godly batting line up is due at some point.

This.

but the downside was that a worse batting side had also not showed up on those shores in a LONG time (minnows excluded) and fielding too was terrible
