Its just Painful to see this team not winning series in England

It's fine. Losing 5 tosses. Poor selection. No preparation. Poor management of unfit players. Poor strategizing/captaincy.  Horrible scheduling . I'll take it if we can win this match. Winning 3 test matches in sena is ok compared to what we got in the 2011-17 period. 1 win in 21 matches. 

 

Also I think we were too complacent with Kohli/shastri not giving enough respect to conditions/opposition . SA surprised us with a returning AB/Steyn in the 1st test and England's all-rounders including that lad Curran were a surprise as well. 

 

I think 3-2 England would be a fair result all things considered. We didn't deserve to win . Had we won , it would have resulted in Kohli and shastri and everyone else gloating about the process, fearless cricket yada yada yada and we would have stagnated further.

did u see the ashes ,eng could have won the 1st 2 tests ,ended up losing 4-0

the point is that fans assume that if things went perfectly for their team, they would have won. But then the other team can assume those things too :winky:

 

How many times have we heard such crap:

  • If Misbah had not played that shot in 2007 T20 WC
  • If the team did not fix 
  • If Viv Richards had not played that shot in 83 final
  • If Kapil had not made 175* 
  • If Gambhir had got out in 2011 WC
  • If BD had batted sensibly in Pandya's over in that T20
  • If Kohli had got a duck vs Aus in that T20 game 
  • If Ishant had not picked up that wkt in CT final vs Eng
  • If Yuv and Kaif had got out in Natwest final
  • If Ind did not prepare rank turners at home 
  • If both Warne and McGrath had played in the 2003/4 Test series in Aus
  • If Lax had not played that inning at Kol 
  • If Pandya had not picked up 5 quick wkts 

 

If fans do this, every team would have won everything. We want to accept other teams mistakes and discount ours when judging things

A close series will evoke such reactions and if you are on tour it implies that you have played well ,in home conditions there are no excuses for losing .

 

It depends how consistent and persistent you are ,aus came to ind in 2001 and lost the last 2 matches narrowly but next time round in 2004 they won the series.

This does not answer the question that if other team or Ind visualized a perfect situation for it while discounting the same for the other team, the result would have been different 

 

For e.g. if Ind had not left grass on the pitch at Nagpur, etc. .... In that case, we can visualize a different result

3-2 is fine if we win this one. But the team management has to go. Get some quality staff who atleast knows what they are doing. 

3-2 would be good in fact first test match was ours to win but we lost only fear with 3-2 is the delusional and ignorant coaching staff will become more arrogant and coach will come out and run his mouth.

We had our moments in this series first test then last match from 86-6 to 246 was disappointing.

I don't think we should have won the first test. Kohli was dropped couple of times and we would've bowled out for below 100 in the first innings, if not for his freak innings.
