We are perhaps the worst touring team to England. Even with so much riches and resources, Pak and even SL outperform us in Eng tours. 2011 & 2014 tours were an embarassment. I had to skip office for 2 days after the oval test in 2014 so that my frnds dont mock me...such a gutter level performance it was. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk 2014 was the best tour in last 13 years in terms of result. We drew one and won one. We lost 2011 4-0 and 2018 4-1. We lost 2014 :3-1. Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 2014 was the best tour in last 13 years in terms of result. We drew one and won one. We lost 2011 4-0 and 2018 4-1. We lost 2014 :3-1. Scoreboard may say otherwise but we were very competitive in 2018 except the 2nd test in Lords. Little bit of luck with toss, Bumrah's availability from the beginning and we could have won/drawn that series. In 2014, we were leading 1-0 after 2nd test. But what followed in the last 3 tests were shambolic. Most of those matches were surrender within 2.5 or 3 days. Remember the famous quote of Dhoni - "Glad we lost in 3 days...it gave us couple of extra rest day before next game"...lol. In 2018 we played much better cricket in Eng than in 2011 and 2014.

neel roy Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yes thats what I was saying.. in terms of results.. in 2014 we should have had outside chance of winning 1 test till Anderson scored 86 as no 11. Third test we competed till tea day 3 when Rohit got out against run of play.. last 2 tests we were blown away.. though we won the odi series handsomely.. jadeja played a blinder even in the last odi we lost.. in t20 virat finally played to his potential but jade dernbach won the game for england with dhoni refusing single to Rayudu... 2014 3-1 test series lost odi s 3-1 won t20 lost 1-0 2018 test 4-1 lost odi-2-1 lost t20 2-1 won Cricketics and Austin 3:!6 1 1 Link to comment
ShoonyaSifar Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 After IPL, the Zim, SL series and Asia cup should be a team of youngsters. No Kohli, Rohit, Dhawan, Bumrah and Shami please. They will gain nothing by playing in those tournaments. Serpico and Stan AF 2 Link to comment
OpeningBatsman Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) If given a chance which kind of player you would prefer at number 7. (odis) PLAYER A - very good batsman with good hitting range , doesn't bowl, decent fielder PLAYER B - limited batsman, average bowler, excellent fielder Edited November 28, 2020 by OpeningBatsman Link to comment

I think some of our best days were 7 +4 combo with raina or smone cmng in at 7. Well ofcourse, the 10 overs were bowled by rainas n yuvis n virus... Of course no 7 fielders inside the circle rule back then. Link to comment

adi B Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Wtf another tour to england ! aren't we tired of same old repeated thrashings ? And dont we learn ? Why play 5 tests ? I'd rather have 3-4 match test series against nzl and srl ,long time since we played them . Playing England and australia so many times is boring Link to comment

Frustrated Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 England are so lucky. They would be up against a depleted India B team. All the key Indian players have been injured and there is hardly any chance of them being match fit on time. Golden opportunity for England to whitewash us 4-0. And seal the final spot in WTC.

Muloghonto Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 if you look closely, the 4 test series vs England is held in 2 venues only. Double tests per city only two cities to visit. This is likely due to COVID logistics issues and travel related exposures etc. It was scheduled to be 5 tests but made 4. I suspect if COVID doesnt clear up by the summer or show definitive signs of clearing up, the trip to england will see a similar 2 tests per venue and 4 tests in total type pairing down of the series.
