Trichromatic Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Great achievement. They had drawn series in WI in 2015. Lost to Pakistan in UAE and NZ. Lannister, sscomp32, Stan AF and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment
Moochad Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 They and SA are the most successful tourists in recent history in major series, but both teams are unrecognizable nowadays. ABD, Kallis, Smith are gone from SA, and Cook, KP, Swann, Prior, Bell from England Right now it seems they are taking advantage of a weaker SL side. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Lannister Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 They are a true professional team. If they could win the World cup, they will be dominant force for years to come. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Tendulkar1996 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 2012 series win was a black spot on Indian cricket. Our team was in transition,gambhir,viru,tendu were finished, rest were newcomers.Our strike bowler was pragyan ojha. Historically India is the strongest and most difficult home team.We have only suffered 5 home series defeats in last 50 odd years.Since the 70s when we started being a non-minnow cricket nation we have only lost to - Lloyd's West Indies(1983) Khan'sPakistan(1987) Cronje's South Africa(1997) Ponting/Gilchrists' Aus(2004) England(2012) Even 2004 could well have been a draw if not for - 1.Tendulkar missed half the series and was crippled with tennis elbow 2.2nd test when we were poised to win got washed out. 3.3rd test green pitch was served due to internal board problems and ganguly,bhajji sat out.

SrinjayDutta Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 3rd test 2004 was a disgusting farce. 2nd test viru yuvi opening could have been a scintillating chase. Really missed tendulkar during 0304. Only dravid was consistent as ganguly just started losing his form. Tendulkar1996 and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment

DOnt forget. Our genius Kaptaan asked the curators for spinning pitches and got his ass handed to him by panesar of all people. Tendulkar1996, raki05, Stan AF and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment
Frustrated Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) After this win, England would move to the 2nd place in the ICC test ranking. (Still 10 points behind us though). This is by far the best English side after the departure of former greats like Peterson, Swann etc. Edited November 18, 2018 by Frustrated UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
SK_IH Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Winning one series and getting smashed in others is no great achievement, that just means they were at right place at right time.They are no different to others teams right now, good at home lambs abroad UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

Credit to England, Cook always played spin well, Swann was a great spinner and Monty was their Jadeja, quick left arm spin and extracted good turn from the wickets. They outplayed us, that's all.
