Jo bhi hoga we will still remain no. 1 test team in the world and you will continue to remain a 7th ranked minnow 

sir jee pehlay aik test match to jeet lo in england in 2018

[adi B]

Not all gloom but it's crystal clear in order to win test match we have to bat first in SENA !

The mindset ,body language of the team becomes positive when we set up a target ,but when chasing they bat worse than minnows because of the pressure

Results will be the same

Yeh, we are better than you because we beat England, you are Ghar ke Sher, Bhar ke ghidar.

tumhare paas to ghar hi nahi hai .. homeless minnow 

 

I concur with the OP. It was a harsh lesson but there's a lot more cricket to be played. Without much exposure to these conditions which obviously weren't there in LOIs, the bowlers & Kohli showed a lot of fight. If one or two batsmen dig in and Bumrah returns as Bumrah, we can win on these wickets. If we get drier pitches, may god help the poms against Ashwin, Jadeja & Kuldeep.

same old story. lack of practice matches. the first test is a close one which India loses.  yeah all is not lost...just behind the 9 ball as usual and repeating the same mistakes. atleast you have 4 test remaining

[Adi_91]

This defeat is similar to the one in Adelaide in 2014. That was actually worse as we lost as much as 9 wickets in one session and went from domineering to a hopeless position within an hour.

 

The WC following it was tough too. Hope history doesn’t repeat itself.

At least our team has 'ghar'.... 

[wanted_desi]

When will they annouce team for 4th and 5th test? Hopefully, they kick all of dead weight.

[mishra]

We lost match 1 of series in See Saw battle. If anything, as a Indian, I am looking forward to test 2.

 

Nothing is lost. Nada. Nothing.

it shows you piss yourself when you travel, and yes we do have a home and we are also very dominant at home however we actually do something away from home.

What is this "something" that you do away from home? If this "something" is getting whitewashed then I agree with you since you got whitewashed in SA, nz and australia(4th time in a row) the last time you toured these countries. You even lost  a test match to Windies and Zimbabwe away 

 

Regarding being dominant at home, dominant teams don't get whitewashed at home by minnowesque Lanka, now fk off minnow fan

The so called “Home” is a borrowed “Home”.

this is the best Kohli will play in this series, after this it’s all down hill.

Bilal , pakpassion per toh muh dikhane layak raha nahi to yaha aa gaya. Jaa waha log tujhe dhundh rahe hain

[YCCC]

My prediction still stands. England win at Edgbaston and Trent Bridge. India win at Lord's and the Oval.

 

Southampton is difficult to call. This is only it's second Test. England won last time there against India and drew a rain affected match against SL in 2011. Overall England have a good record there across all formats but the pitch will be flat and often takes turn. Yorkshire have a dreadful record there as it's always flat and we always end up losing the toss amd batting last on a deteriorating pitch. If it's like it usually is the toss will decide the game there

India lost 3-1 in England, 4-0 in England, 2-1 in SA, 2-0 in Australia, 1-0in NZ recently, you haven’t won anything away from home, you remind us of 1 loss in Zimbabwe however you also lost to England 2-1 in India, Pakistan is better than India away overall and some fans don’t have the stuff in them to say it.

 

India will be lucky to win 1 match in this series.

 

 

not only that ..... India has lost several series before that too.   But what has you to do with all these???

He is trolling. What do you expect from a 3rd grade troller?

I can bet England will learn from its mistakes, analyse and course correct in the series...

This Indian team & management won’t learn, analyse or course correct.

I can bet on this..,

Yes, they are very good at this. They have won 2 series against us from 0-1 down.

Won’t be surprised if this is somewhat similar to the SA series. We may get a consolation win after conceding an unassailable lead. 

[beetle]

This was just the first.

Four more to go....we will win some.

sometimes shamelessness has no bounds... especially when  thinking  the fact that this low class troll comes from a country which efficiently 'hosted' an international  team to such an extend that several players in that team need to thank their stars so that they are still alive today.

No need to read too much into "Baklol" comment. Just enjoy the class of it.
