vayuu1 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 London: Former Three Lions fast bowler Darren Gough has stirred controversy in cricket circles by saying that India are only champions on home turf, and that he fancies England beating the MS Dhoni-led squad every day of the week sooner than later. Raising a toast to England''s Ashes heroes, Gough said: “We''re now the best team in the world. This team is the Golden Generation (of English cricket). They are the side that are going to dominate world cricket for the next few years.†The Sun further quoted him, as saying: "For me, we''re the best team in the world at this moment. I''ve watched the South Africa-India series and I see nothing to worry about. India is fantastic in their own country and have some great individuals, but I''d fancy this England side to beat them every day of the week.†"I don''t know whether that is because we''re better than everybody else in sight or because we have a top-class spinner and five bowlers who could start a Test, no problem. We now have so many options, especially in attack, and the reason this team are so dominant is because we have 16 players who could have started the first Test match," Gough said. Gough believes Strauss'' heroes deserve the same accolades as the 2005 Ashes side, who were awarded MBEs and enjoyed an open-top bus parade through London. He added: "Will this team get the same reception? Probably not. Do they deserve to? I would say yes." http://cricket.expressindia.com/news/englands-best-team-can-beat-india-every-day-of-the-week-darren-gough/731198/ I say gaugh:finger: off,what do u guys think

Sachinism Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 :haha: (Sorry, I know no smiley-only posts are allowed, but don't know what to say)
Sachin=GOD Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 I hope these fools continue to make such statements till the India-England series next year and then we go there and beat them - it will shut them up for good :giggle:
satyam1729 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 England's best team can beat India every day of the week: Darren Gough http://www.sify.com/sports/england-s-best-team-can-beat-india-every-day-of-the-week-darren-gough-news-news-km4mkiiahgi.html Pathetic :haha::haha::haha: Haven't won since 1996.
HowardRoark Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Somebody please tell Gough that beating India is not as simple as winning a random dance show in the UK.
rkt.india Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 I think these were the bowlers who played in 2007 and 2008 test series home and away:winky:
Zap_Brannigan Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 England cricket team beat beat indian team any day of week except on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
VRV Singh Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 It was pretty much guaranteed that with a whiff of success the media over here (in England) would lap it up and get far ahead of themselves. Not a criticism of the cricket team, they're talented...that's just how it is across the board in sport over here. Should've seen the chest-thumping for the football team before the horror show in South Africa :hahaha: The Sky bunch are pretty sensible but the rest...
Asoka Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 After being at the receiving end of Sachin,Sourav and Dravid so many times,this ******* takes out his frustation. These ****ing poms are masters of hype,cant wait to see our boys crush their ego next year.
saneindian Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 We will win the series in SA and Eng will draw the series in Australia. Thats when many of these guys will shut up.
kabira Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Dint he say Australia will not win a test match in this series. Boy..Now I can't wait for England Series....IT will be last series in England for our 3 Big Boys
Sachin=GOD Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Dint he say Australia will not win a test match in this series. Boy..Now I can't wait for England Series....IT will be last series in England for our 3 Big Boys that was also said in the last England tour and also in the last Aus tour - although I think this time it really is the last tour :((
Serani Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Dravid should retire before the england series, he is an embarrasment. Trott is far better than him these days.
hari504504 Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 as long as Laxman is in our line-up..I don;t care who barks.. all I say is keep em coming
HowardRoark Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Dravid should retire before the england series, he is an embarrasment. Trott is far better than him these days. How exactly does Dravid embarass you? Is Dravid competing for a place in the England team or Is trott competing for one in the India team?
