'Draini' made me laugh way more than I'd like to admit.

Whatever it takes!!!
I am saying that day 5 barbados was a tougher track for batsmen than day 5 Durban.
And @OverratedSanity the rest of the match is really not the best indicator to how tough conditions and the pitch actually were on Day 5.

Yeah, this. The SL win was more shocking but I think the BG series was a better achievement given it was 4 tests and given how we lost in the 3rd innings at Adelaide.

Melbourne where we literally played with 4 bowlers and 10 players given the injury to nostrils? Its why its important to actually watch cricket before passing comments on it.

Perera's innings was the only one away from home.

How exactly do you determine that?
And doesnt Perera playing away make it more difficult for him?

India lost 1 player in the middle of the test almost every test in the series. Shows the poor fitness and they have only themselves to blame. But it also magnifies the win as it was 10 vs 11 in each test.
Edit: actually every test had a 10 vs 11 scenario. Not almost every test.

Nope. That was one of England's strongest sides while India had much less likelihood of winning in 2021.
Of course the low odds of a victory add to its greatness.

I was talking about England's win in Australia.
Low odds add to it sure but it's not all there is to it as was suggested earlier in this thread.

India victory in 2021 was greater in terms of being more epic, picking themselves up from a first test loss and SC sides would probably value a series victory in Australia more anyways.
But I think SL's victory was greater in terms of being more improbable and also the relative comfort of that second test victory made it seem like less of a fluke.

Which England win, in 2010? They outright had a better side then.

Definitely a bigger shock than the other two. It is looking like that first Test was the first warning re NZ's decline rather than a total fluke, but it's one of those results that not a living soul saw coming and that in itself is relatively rare in such a qualitative sport.

Yeah, and my point is, it's still the greatest England series win in my lifetime despite the fact we went in with a pretty good chance of winning.
The rarity of winning in Australia and the margin of victory matters more.
