India's Test W/L ratio

[AshVin]

India's Test W/L ratio has touched 1 for the first time in our history.

 

Until today, we had lost more matches than we'd won.

 

 

[putrevus]

Wow, finally they have caught up.

[Gollum]

Most of the heavy lifting has happened after 2013. We didn't win too many games in the 2000s. 

[Gollum]

Pak is 148-142, they'll be in the negative latest by 2025 end. NZ, WI, Lanka comfortably negative.

 

RSA is 178-161, give them 5 years time if I am being generous. 

 

Aussies are 413-232, Eng 392-324 but they played each other a lot in 1877-1932.

Yet you see so much wrist slitting on ICF.

When your former captain and BCCI president undermines home test victories and talks about only trophies.

 

ICF has so many clueless people who think winning hardware is everything.

Indian Cricket is at it's strongest and it'll only continue to get stronger. BCCI's support for FC Cricket is commendable and shows that they have a long-term vision.

 

The mental issues with ICC knockouts that India has will also be rectified.

 

Being pissed off at consistent choking in ICC knockouts is understandable but any fan who isn't positive about the state of Indian cricket is a fool.

No poms are more skilful and have more flair and better attributes. We only win cause English players are affected by food poisoning and are not at their optimal best when playing us

What is the record post independence? From 1947-?

Where does India rank among W/L ratio?

 

They are behind Australia, South Africa, England and Pakistan. Are they also behind West Indies?

Just slightly better.

I shamelessly copy pasted it into my WhatsApp groups that are filled with nostalgic reminiscences of "those glory days." 

 

Nostalgia is overrated. Today's Indian test cricketers are to be celebrated much more than the past ones. Aggressive, confident, in yo face. 

 

I just want to see this translated into a couple of trophies but the consistency that they have achieved when given the opportunity to focus on and prepare for redball matches is phenomenal.

2015-now record is close to the GOAT sides, Lloyd's WI, Ponting's Aus though they were closer to 3. RSA in the late 2000s and early 2010s hovered around 2.2.

 

Still GOAT Asian side?

Since 2013, our W/L at home is 10:1, won 40 and lost 4. Despite losing 19 out of 25 tosses  against the strongest visiting teams Aus (2-10 tosses), Eng (4-9 tosses).

definitely GOAT asian side. pak is thr obvious competitor but they had home umpires + ball tampering + chucking (supporting spinners, not qadir himself) in 1980s
