you might have a point but is there a stat to indicate that average scores batting in any innings are lower now than they were in the first decade of the century? It would mean that the bowlers bowling then are even better than most rate them if that is the case.

Root just plundered our attack left/right/center in the last 2 series. Who is after Root? Nobody.  They got bowled out for 85 against Ireland.

Rory burns is not going to become Andrew strauss or Alistair cook.  Not like they are spoilt by other formats. Some of the play only Tests.

WI or Aussie attack were never complemented with top notch spinner also. This dominance has everything to do with bowling attack.

Warne is better but their top four pace was no where near top four for India.

 

When they had Lillee/Thommo behind them was not the best.

Agreed. Too bad our middle order sucks. 

 

Man if we develop 2 good middle order players like Gill and sundar, we would be the best team in history.

Gill will take time but Sundar is not that bad. Currently India is missing two good bats to make them the best.
