But it is widely recognized fact, world over, that English media overhypes it's team and players across all sports. Not a better example than the hype created around Andy Murry (who is not even English for the matter of fact). If you follow english media around any grand slam, you would tend to believe that Murray is ahead of both Nadal and Federer. Same media pinned Tim Henman to win Wimbledon for years. This trend goes for other sports like Soccer, Cricket as well. However, in relation to this thread, I would say at the moment England is one among the top three test teams of worls cricket.

Tennis is pretty gay so forgot Murray, we even have one of the top tennis players in the world although nobody likes him. Oh and the best golfer in the world. AND 2 recent F1 world champs... We are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation in the world.

andy murray is a scot, we are talking about ENGLAND here. F1? are u ****ing serious? its not even a sport. top golfer? lee westwood hasnt done even 1/4th of what tiger woods has done in golf... your footballers embarrass themselves at the world cup and euros every 2 years, much to the delight of the entire world, your rugby team is a scrap heap compared to the saffies and aussies

Please be relevant to the topic of this thread. It's not about who is the greatest sporting nation but it is about the England cricket team. Create a separate thread in chit chat for other discussions.
Is one of your 2011 goals to make this a boring place? :winky:

Have fun here. :--D What's the point in discussing this in cricket talk? Derails the entire thread if England is the best cricket team.

I am not sure how these 2 even compared? we don't have that sporting culture at all and if anything, it revolves around cricket only. You are grown up to be educated and follow the same path of job, marriage, fear of god and taking care of parents. The Concept of any sport is picked when you are a kid, and we have ZERO or minimum facilities for fitness or any other sport. There is no thrill, money or desire so how the heck you gonna create athletes? Compare other fields but except cricket, forget about any other ball game

If people try and argue that India is better than England at sports on the basis of the Commonwealth games I think I will probably have a heart attack from laughing so much,
