R!TTER Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Can't believe how so many are underrating or underestimating these guys, England have been our bogey team over the last decade or so even more than NZ Link to comment

In India I mean. Last I recall they lost 4 0. Link to comment
R!TTER Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Without Kohli's superhuman efforts that series we'd have lost 4-nil not sure what point you're making? Link to comment

Made us sweat in last two tests & Root for some goddamn reason is most luckiest captain on the planet with tosses. Batting isn't an issue for them but I think their spinners are mediocre. Also they nearly beat us in Rajkot in 1st game. Edited January 15, 2021 by Lone Wolf Link to comment

Not to mention we missed bumrah for 2 games. Bhuvi the swing king din't even play. We had a makeshift opening pair. rollingstoned 1 Link to comment

But thing is they do have the batting on pattas. They also handle spin better than most non SC teams. I think we have to out bat them again like last time. Link to comment
Soldier Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hav you seen the bowling England are facing ? Lmao Lanka missing Suranga Lakmal, some other pacer and a couple of other players. Their best batsman isn't even playing. Kuranaratne. Link to comment

Without a first choice playing eleven, if all the tosses go England's way we can lose the series at home - I'm not counting the 2018 series, where did you get that idea? It's the 2016 series I'm talking about, England can beat us if the pitches aren't dead as a Dodo - that's the only way they beat us, of course our catching is going to be horrible so there's that Link to comment

It will be a decent pitch with something for both bowlers and batsmen. Not only is our spin combo deadly. England will have to deal with bumrah, Shami if he is back, Ishant and Yadav. Link to comment

He has bowled well in SA even. D Perera has a good record as well vs touring sides. Hasaranga is A/R. Tbh they are doing the same to Lanka what they did to India in batting deptt. But lankans don't have the batsmen to out bat them Link to comment

Last time Poms played Ashwin really well. It was Jaddu delivering killer blows. We will blow them away if we have 70% of the attack present Link to comment
