England can beat India "every day of week": Gough

His debut aside, he's looked pretty poor anytime I've seen him.
He's put in some quality performances in ODIs at times but nothing in the longer form. He managed to develop a no-ball problem for the England tour too, somewhat bizarrely.

Yeah but to be fair to them I don't think anyone could have seen what was coming :(

Never accused GIMH of it ftr, he's one of the few people who has the right to do it if anything imo :p

I knew we would win (think we will beat anyone at home) but didn't expect India to be inept. They look worse in Australia, end of the road for some coming soon I think.

Yeah definitely. ****ty thing is that we've got no overseas tours coming up so in a couple of years time we might still be facing the same problems. Once the guys get over this tour via a couple of 'revenge' ODI series (assuming we even win those), IPL seasons and home series, they might conveniently forget all the problems they had and neglect their technical deficiencies. Seriously hoping something like that doesn't happen but it seems likely.

Wasn't exactly brilliant either. Took a 5-for in the first Test he played in the series, did pretty much **** all else.

Yeah, England struggle against spin, non subcontinental spinners get belted.

You called 4-0? congrats then.
I called 3-0, I thought that one of the Tests would be rained out.

I did call India's bowlers being ****, Gambhir and Sehwag doing bugger all, KP dominating and Tendulkar not making a ton, off the top of my head.

So? Your point was that Ajmal got owned. Fact is, he didn't. Accept it :p
