What, like winning a series outside Asia?

May be something other also like winning a series in india after 20 years

Has less relevance as teams only play there every 4 or 5 years at best, whereas India play games outside Asia far more frequently.

Yeah but atleast things are changing for us.

but england rarerly gets fast bowlers in form of their life recently so they should not miss the chance thats what all i am saying

More frequently than India

since we play half of the matches at home and the remaining one third in asia
i think we will require less Fast bowlers than ENG

But you'd like to think India would manage not to lose that other one sixth of matches (although I'm pretty sure your fractions are a bit off there). No matter where you play, you can't be a great team without some quality pace, because spin won't get you gold everywhere. Added to that, the current Indian spinners haven't been amazingly successful either. I believe Harbhajan has one of the best (if not the best) average of Indian bowlers of all-time.

since we paly half the game in home
we are left with 9 tours since there are only 10 teams
and one third of 9 is = 3 PAK,S.L,BAN we play that much in asia

Hey, this is good - like one of those old mathematical puzzles about three farmers owning a hundred sheep......... excuse me.



Why are there so many New Zealanders looking at this?

He should have said a third, which is a lot worse...

We have a decent pace attack now. Inexperienced but talented. And Anil Kumble's performances away have improved immensly.

I was correct then and it proves my point perfectly.

A half plus a third is five sixths (5/6), therefore the remainder of the games is one sixth (1/6).

That said, upon re-reading your post, I don't quite grasp the sense in it.

india play a total of 18 series of which 12 is in asia
As i have said like this 18/2+(18/2)/3=12

and add u r 1/6 to it it means another 18/6=3

so where did the other 3 go man

i think this is turning into a maths post

 

[luckyeddie]

I know, I know. Does this mean I can ask the next question?

Liam's third should have been a third of the away matches only. Half are at home (all Asia), a third of the AWAY games are only a sixth.

Liam tried to roll a six-skinner with five Rizlas.
