gattaca Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I see we have been too critical of our team in overseas. 60 all out for Test team with more than 100 years is very poor. Scoring hundred on concrete slabs of Aussie land is overrated. Funny part board takes 7. he is good bowler but he always ruffles Aussies with his performance and antics. Link to comment
HippoSucks Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 No because their performance is as good as every other team's away from home apart from South Africa. However they did win the series in Sri Lanka, West Indies (which England couldn't do) and South Africa which is why some people rate them higher than some other teams away from home. They are the second best team away from home but still far behind South Africa. Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Past 5 years, searies win in subcontinent - SL and then SA where i guess eng is only other team to win series in last 10 years? Apart from that they have won in WI and NZ. They got whitewashed in Ind only. Have they lost in UAE yet? Going by that only SA is better than them in away matches. Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 They lost 2-0 in UAE last year. So they have lost in Eng UAE and India in their last series. Won in SA, WI, SL and NZ. SA - 2-1 WI - 2-0 SL - 1-0 NZ - 2-0 Eng - 1-2 (current one) Ind - 0-4 UAE - 0-2 That reminds me of one question - when was the last time we won 2 tests outside ind in a series - pakistan series 2003 and bangladesh series? Ind Eng -3-1 SA - 1-0 NZ - 1-0 Aus - 2-0 WI - 0-1 (last away series win 2011) SL - 1-1 Bang - 0-0 Link to comment

Trichromatic Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 India won 2-0 against Bangladesh in 2010. Yes that i had mentioned but any other country where we won more than 2 tests Link to comment
HippoSucks Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yes that i had mentioned but any other country where we won more than 2 tests Sorry I misread that. Anyway apart from that Bangladesh series in 2010, India won 2-0 in Zimbabwe and 2-0 in Bangladesh in 2005-2006. http://www.howstat.com/cricket/Statistics/Series/SeriesListCountry.asp?A=IND&B=XXX&W=T#tests?data-scroll=false Link to comment
adi B Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 India haven't won an away series for 4 years now :facepalm: Link to comment
The Realist Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 India haven't won an away series for 4 years now :facepalm: "I am someone who speaks more about the process rather than thinking about the results" With that mentality in place did you really expect anything better? Link to comment
Scarves Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 People have. Haven't won in India since 2004 but before then it was a long time Lost in UAE against a good Pakistani team but the squad selection was messed up That's really it. Won in West Indies Won in South Africa Won in New Zealand Won in Sri Lanka The problem is just isn't that they can't play. The problem is technical and a lack of patience. Link to comment
Marut Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 They bat too aggressively. But unlike the ATG team which could backup aggression with skills, this team is a paper tiger. They should bat more conservatively and take less chances while batting. The 60 all out was a mishap waiting to happen due to the way the Aussies bat because they were chasing wide deliveries even after fall of early wickets. Link to comment
Pagalpanti Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 India haven't won an away series for 4 years now :facepalm: Will be a while before we do as well. This current lot might even draw/lose to WI. Link to comment
horizonspeaks Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 India haven't won an away series for 4 years now :facepalm: How many away series did India play in subcontinent in those 4 years? 0 exactly? Link to comment
horizonspeaks Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Aussies failed miserably in 2013 Champions trophy too. I want to see how they do in the ODIs in England. Link to comment
G_B_ Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The problem is apart from south africa nearly everybody has a poor away record. India probably have the poorest. However compared to most sides we also have the best home record. 1 series loss in about 10 years. You compare that to SA England and Aus and all three of these sides have lost 3-4 series at home over the same period. SA for example keeps losing at home to Aus no matter what. Its been the case mostly since readmission. Australia have lost two series on the bounce at home v Sa. Link to comment
Scarves Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I would hope the aussie fans are questioning this but clearly Clarke was done - I would have brought in smith straight away starting the windies tour. A lot thought that but I mean after the Ashes are the best time to rebuild anyway. Link to comment
Scarves Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Yes I suppose but I thought you would want to retain the ashes and windies could have helped smith settle in somewhat and any issues could have been ironed out starting there - possibly could have pressed the selectors to get his people in. But to be fair the margin of defeats in England have been such that really would have been difficult anyway. Haddin had a knack of scoring runs against England Watson has a good record in England Voges and Rogers have CC experience. Clarke is Clarke. This was the last roll of the die and it didn't pan out. England tried the same in 2013/14 and rebuilt somewhat from there. Link to comment
biglebowski Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 all the teams are minnows outside their home Link to comment
SLICKR392 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Probably only SA is the team to compete in all conditions. The rest are kittens away from home. Link to comment
