Hmm... Not bad!! But do the same thing exclusively for home series also in the same time frame, so that we can compare the difference in our own home and away performances as what happs to other countries when they play at home. Also it is interesting to note that India has played 33 test away since 2003 and only England is ahead of it. I'll like to settle Fontain's doubts that our bowlers can't do well at home pitches!

Dude why don't you relax, stop, and actually understand what I'm saying:

Remarkeable how the stats present a different picture all together when you take the figures from 2003 onwards. And finally these stats are NOT weighted to consider flat decks you get in the subcontinent where the majority of the wickets are taken towards the end of the test when the pitches start crumbling/cracking.

I never said that our bowlers can't do well at home pitches. And the stats pretty much bear that out. Since 2003 we're the 3rd best team overall in picking up wickets and that's considering the amount of turnover we've had in the pace bowling department. And finally, j/k about the Dude part! I know how much that annoys you! :winky:

Pretty much what I've been saying all along. At home since 2003 India are near the minnows in terms of bowling effectiveness yet in the same time period away, India have the 2nd best efficiency bowling when you include places like SA, Australia, England.

So now you find this stat quite meaningful, don't you? And a minnow team doesn't lose just one test series in a decade. Do you know that in this millenium India has been defeated at home just once? Yet, you can count our series failures away from home and you'll find that we've won just three test series away from home in last 9 years, except in Zim and Bangladesh. Now will you give the reasons for those defeats?

I think you need to go back and read what I actually said.
