India 2018 only Indian team to make the cut. Quarter finals going to be simulated next. Australia 1959 (McDonald, Favell, Harvey, O'Neill, Burge, Benaud, Mackay, Davidson, Grout, Lindwall, Meckiff) vs India 2018 (Rahul, Vijay, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, R. Sharma, Pant, Ashwin, I. Sharma, Shami, Bumrah) Edited January 5, 2021 by sage
Austin 3:!6 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Lots of bias there as usual from Sky Sports. India 2001 test team that beat an ATG Australian side after they were on a winning streak of 16 games should be on top 3. Adamant 1

That team travelled to Zim after that epic win, trust me you don't want to know what happened there. Or in WI next year... Tibarn 1
putrevus Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 I don't think any Asian test team deserves to be named as great team. Kohli's team had chance to build on their work from 2018 Aussies tour but they laid an egg in NZ.Kohli's time has gone to mould Indian team into ATG team.

Still they can redeem themselves. 2 tests in Aus, 5 test series in Eng (even Aussies haven't beaten them at that since 2001), tour to RSA and we are anyway invincible at home.
neel roy Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Gulp 15 tests in 2021 plus WTC Final if we qualify. Jan 5th 2022 sab doodh ka doodh paani ka paani ho jayega.. no dea what we would be discussing exactly one year from today. Probably the most defining year of Indian cricket in last 10 years. Last time were in same boat was 10 years back lol. 2011 . And we lost 8-0 AuxiliA 1

The problem with Indian team they just don't have any core top 5 . Other than Kohli ( who flopped big time in NZ) there is no one in top 5 who can be termed an allround batsmen. Kohli is removing himself from ATG conversations by his complete noshow in series and Knock out flops. Now they are trying new openers. It is so sad that Indian bowling is carrying these bozos.

If anything Indian umpires will make it a point to be fair to their white contemporaries because they like to be sychophants. AuxiliA 1

sage Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 India won the 4 match simulated series 3-0 and make it to the semi-final! Tibarn 1
Tibarn Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 I didn't see if it mentions where the simulated series takes place. That would make a big difference in the end results. They also didn't include the 04-06 Aussies or Ind 09-11 or SA from 2012 , which are 3 brain-fades Some of those teams they included are from before there were even 5 competent Test teams
