Yes we are. We were ranked #1 for nearly 2 years and won the World Cup. Just because we sucked in 2 series doesn't mean we can't pay the folks back in the same coin

i wish i felt the same way. the 2 series has knocked the wind off my sails.

:giggle: : Greatest Teams As great as the sum of their parts George Dobell picks his top five teams in the history of Test cricket George Dobell November 3, 2011 England, 2009-2011 A controversial choice, perhaps (and only just edging the England side of 1911-12), but the statistics of England's recent success are compelling. England have won eight (and drawn one) of their last nine series and 20 of their last 31 Tests. Perhaps even more impressively, 10 of those victories have been by innings margins. Four of England's batsmen are rated in the top ten and five of their bowlers are in the top 11 of the Test rankings. They have a well-balanced bowling attack that offers pace, bounce, swing and spin and a strong batting line-up including several men - Pietersen, Cook, Strauss and Bell - who all look set to surpass the current English record of 22 Test centuries. Not only that, but they have inflicted crushing defeats upon India, Australia and Sri Lanka who have, in recent times, all been vying for top positions in the ICC Test rankings. No team has ever gone to Australia and inflicted three innings defeats in a series, while the Indian team defeated 4-0 in the summer of 2011 contained several players of the highest class - Tendulkar, Dravid, Dhoni and Laxman among them. Uniquely among all the teams in this list, they key man in the England set-up is not actually a player. It is the coach, Andy Flower. Inheriting an under-performing, divided squad, he has instilled a work ethic and sense of purpose that has taken the side to the top of the world rankings. http://www.espncricinfo.com/greatestteams/content/story/538999.html

This is precisely what i was thinking about when they lost this match. the cheek to put this bunch in the same category

I, and all Indian fans, feel the same way. But that doesn't mean I am ashamed of our past performances and achievements. We may have struggled the last 2 series but it doesn't mean we were not good before. The seniors are walking wkts at the moment but that doesn't mean they were FTBs before. We have to keep things in perspective and maintain our sense of humor. We have enough talent and resources to be down for too long. Thanks England for the laughs, especially the article where they are regarded as the best team ever :haha:

[Ultimate_Game]

Some people are. They think remaining nearly unbeatable at home for 20+ years is not a big deal and only winning abroad matters. I think we should be proud of our home record as well.
