Its just Painful to see this team not winning series in England

[Vilander]

Kohli needs to train toss.

After India wins this game it would feel so badbthat edgbaston and southamton were not won. As it should have been 4-1

[Vilander]

Just need one more consistant batsman it could be vihari and a consistant opener. It could be shaw. Lets see.

I see things differently. Despite all its flaws, the fact that this team managed to stay in the game and make it somewhat close in the first test and the fourth is itself an achievement. What if Kohli had his catch taken in the first match? What if he had a poor run like in 2014? And despite his good form, the series at one point threatened to become a one sided farce. Though it hurts a lot as fans to see years of built up overseas win hopes cruelly dashed yet again, it could have been much worse with a 2011 like flop show.

not that painful because of 2 elements .One, luck with the toss. How can you win if you are such unlucky with the toss??? Winning toss

can influence a lot in cricket. But even with law of averages, you need to win 2 out of 5 tosses at least . When all tosses are lost, nothing can be done.

 

Secondly even if tosses were lost, there were still great chances of winning the series if the 2 opening spots  were occupied with at least good players. Unfortunately the experienced Vijay   who  was at the most a  mere 'good' player went terribly out of form .To compensate for that we needed  a great opener at the other side.Instead what we got was a complete hack in Dhawan.Thus paid the price of not at all  finding out an already established great  opener for such an important away series. Any unluckly the instant replacement for Vijay too proved to be utter failure, that is Rahul.

This why India team is like this. Because of delusional fans like you. Coulda shoulda, my auss! We did not win in SA, we will lose 1-4 in England and we will lose again in Australia. Then 4 years later, rinse repeat.

 

It is a combination of technique, captaincy decisions, coaching decisions, personnel, etc etc. We will never win a series overseas in SENA with the status quo. Yet after every phucking series, you deluded fans lament ... only if this had gone right, only if we did this more ... Buullshyt! Wake up and smell the coffee. The current strategy will never get us there - not getting enough test acclimazation (play enough practice matches for heaven's sake), not giving practice sesssions enough importance, improper team selection, not having a pyscho-analyst on team, having an alchoholic yes-man for a coach, not having bowling & batting coaches with credentials, not avoiding nepotism and not putting country over self interest, etc. etc. I could go on and on. The entire system is broken and no one cares, let alone BCCI. Indian cricket will always remain a shyt team overseas, even with flashes of individual brilliance. If it not the batting, then it is bowling; if it is not the bowling, then it is the batting or fielding!!!

 

Yet some of you just don't get it, do ya? Maybe I should stick to my word and bring long thick carrots to each one of you! Where do y'all live?

More painful Is Barbie and trashid scoring runs against us and our ineptness to mop up tail .

[jf1gp_1]

Lets not take credit away from england they were better side and hence they won.

 

Also the hype around our batting has to be moderated. At this point we are a single player team and for some reason people have started to dislike him. 

 

One thing is clear we are going to lose aussie series and should be happy if we reach semis of WC.

That people thought this Eng team was weak was right, however fallacy regarding this Ind team was funny,they were actually weaker than Eng and the results are just.

[Straight Drive]

The way Shikhar Dhawan, Rahul, Vijay,  Ajinkya Rahane have been batting we were lucky to win even one test. 

[Straight Drive]

In a 5 test match series only two Indian batsmen have shown they have the ability to score a 100 on this tour of England.

 

What is the average of Rahul, Vijay and Shikhar Dhawan on this tour? Below 25?

 

How much is Chet and Ajinkya averaging? Below 35?

Root handed that test on a platter to us by inviting us to bat  first

Chepu averages good ,46 .rahane has been horrible,batting at 5(the best position in England) and averaging 24 .

Dhawan 24 (got lucky he didn't bat in lords else it'd be under 20) ,Raul has been horrible as well averaging 16

[bhakum20]

Just need to get 350 and then bowl them out less than 150. We can still win this...

[cric_fan]

What a pathetic team England is. Little bit more application, we should have won this series 4-1. 

Eng are not pathetic. They are good.

More like India are pathetic overseas.
