England should have won after OZ was 8 down. Worn out bowlers didn't have  enough in the tank. Wish.we had these bowlers bowling in 1999 test vs  pak at chennai. Akram took some.pain killer shot and breathed fire to snuff out tail

.India needed 17 with 4 wickets in hand and Tendulkar batting

India victories are great, but too few and far between the last three years.  I will settle for watching the Poms get their hearts ripped out and stomped into dust as a substitute.

 

What a choke job.  BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Robinson has to deliver more before he opens his mouth. Ricky and Hayden they usually backed their mouth with performances.Why on earth he is bringing Ricky into the conservation.

 

Every tom dick and harry can open their mouth and spew nonsense but they only matter when they back it up with performances.

 

Aussies have been very loveable bunch IMO.

On the same docile track our fast bowling would have suffered as well. If anything we would have conceded double hundred to smith

I agree he did bowl well but not great in this match.He got two tailender wickets  and Khwaja after he scored 141 in the first innings.

 

He had two tailenders with 50 plus runs could not seal the deal.

England has to shore up their bowling otherwise even if they score 600/700 they will struggle to bowl opposition out with these half fit bowlers. Their wealth of experience has held them in good shape so far. Experience can help only so much.

it was a Wankhede type flat pitch. he does not have pace to be a strike bowler on such a pitch.

That is what Aussies are saying, he speaks more than he can deliver.

Pommies are morons, why do they think when they do something only then it is worth doing it.

 

Reverse swing till 2005 was cheating but when they did it it became art. Bowling bouncers was not cricket when WI did it but when they did it becomes great bowling.

 

When other teams started scoring 400 plus in odi was death of cricket and bowlers but when they do it it becomes revolution.

 

Aussies from 2000 to 2012 scored 400 plus in a day frequently.They won matches in 3 plus days as they were so much better than any other team.They whined about overrates against WI when matches were getting finished in 3 days.

 

When did world ask England to entertain them.

I love when teams do needless nautanki and get wrecked.

 

Love England's bazball but that doesn't mean every brainfart of theirs is gold.

I will take this any day over spineless, gutless display put up by the Indian team.

I fail to understand the logic behind some idiotic comments. India getting beaten in ICC finals might be due to lot of things but gutless is last word I would use to describe their performance.

 

How is it gutless when other team has played well and you got beaten easily.

 

As Tom Brady once answered , I would take us getting beaten in super bowl over sitting at home any day.

 

I would take gutless Indian team which keeps getting to knock out stages of every major competition over teams like England  which did not even qualify.
