Brilliant.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.
Except, depressingly, Sree lacks the pace of Mahmood .Brilliant.
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 100Put my serious hat on and I'd have to think about whether Pakistan last year were worse.
haha.....gun threadWhy 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
We stay and you win 4-0 and rape what is left of our dignity. This is like men playing against women.
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.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.
Mmm. If India do go down 4-0, as currently looks likely, it'll be hard for anyone to say otherwise.Put my serious hat on and I'd have to think about whether Pakistan last year were worse.
still does not take away the fact we were hopeless in the other 3At least we beat England once in the 4 test series.
This. Seriously i would have taken the Bangladeshi batting and fielding over ours last summer.. The batting was that bad.though the batting and fielding was argubly the worst ever seen from a non Bagladeshi side.
5 attempts?We won 2 of 6 tests last summer India/SL has not won a single yet of 5 attempts.
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 threatstill does not take away the fact we were hopeless in the other 3
IF India go down 4-0....don't really have words for that. Heads will roll I supposeMmm. If India do go down 4-0, as currently looks likely, it'll be hard for anyone to say otherwise.
This.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.
