Sunil Gavaskar : 'India should have played more warm-up games in England'

[Clarke]

Na bolo to problem aur bolo to bhi problem. Yaani chit main jeeta pat tu haara.

 

He said all the right things unlike his paid commentary .. let's not look for a bakra in this case.

[LordPrabhzy]

yeah no **** sherlock... talk about stating the obvious

[rtmohanlal]

yes ....Sunil sir..... now that we have lost  the initiative ,come up with your wisdom. Every tom dick and harry knows that  playing at the least 2 practice matches counts for a lot. But you are not one of those because of you having been a  great ex player and your opinion matters a lot than  that of an ordinary person.Now coming with these words only makes you an  oppertunistic. That's all

Warmups have become farce these days.

In same 2018, Pakistan played 3 practise games including a test against Ireland in preparation for a 2 match test series and they drew it 1-1. Whereas India's preparation was one innings batting before a 5 match test series.

The BCCI and team management seemed to consider the ODIs and T20 games as preparation/acclimatization.  Even if this team played a few first class games, the pitches wouldn't have been similar to those in test matches.

Let's wait for the end of the series hall we, Pak would've lost the 3 test series. They were lucky just like SL before us in 2014, with the 2 test series.

Yeah they are lucky that they have lost only 1 series to England in since 2007!

 

They would have lost 3 test serie, 4 test series is just random prediction. They didn't lose when they played 4 tests either.

 

They have won same number of tests in England in last 2 tours that we won in last 30 years.

all will be forgotten after we win on the back of Bumrah/kohli next match.
