Well it isn't so much that England provided rubbish opposition, more England provided good opposition which the Indians spurned, and that it backfired (for India).
Pakistan may not have played a very strong team (but still got bowled out for 208) but the team and conditions they were given were representative of what they were going to face, if anything it was slightly tougher for the batsmen than the flat Brisbane pitch. Perhaps you should look past your Australia-hating and focus on what the issue is, which is teams providing warm up matches in conditions and against XIs nothing like those in the tests, thus rendering the match irrelevant no matter the strength of the home XI or toughness of the match conditions.
At least that comment made grammatical sense. It's a start.
Haha.
I don't think anyone's going to be playing cricket in Afghanistan just quietly . . . If Afghanistan host it will probably by the same grounds as Pakistan. So yeah it would be very good practice you would think.
It set the tone for a tour where we lost one badly, could've won the next one with more time then were a ****ing awful decision away from ascendancy in the third?
Some people are mentally incapable of mediating their choleric prejudice against Australia. For some reason they are as proud of their bigotry like fat bastard was of his dead ***y body. A circle jerk of posters furiously beating themselves off for the entertainment of the whiny passive/aggressive snots who reflexively like their posts.
Yeah, OK. McCullum made no media statements and Hesson said there were no hard feelings, they just didn't want to bat on it. And McCullum purposely didn't bowl quicks, presumably as he knew it'd be dangerous.
Who's "bragging"? I swear more and more people don't bother reading and just post bull**** so they have something to complain about
OK, so it's more that you don't understand the game than you're trying to niggle.
