Indain have won a series in England. Can England beat India in India? that is the question...

Vaughn was one of the most elegant batsmen ever? Really? Seriously?

Oh come on, that cover drive :woot: LOL poor Goughie must have copped a ton of crap from Indian fans on twitter

Since the last time England won a series in India we've won two series in England (1986 and 2007). Indeed they've won only one test in India in all that time (2006 in Mumbai when we collapsed against Shaun Udal and Sachin was booed by his home crowd - and all this "Endulkar" crap started). I don't know why when we lose a test in South Africa it's "India can't play on greentops", yet when South Africa (or any other Western nation) lose a test in India everyone blames the pitch. Why are greentops considered good cricket wickets, while dustbowls (which require a different set of skills to play on) are considered diabolical? :dontknow: It's as if Asian nations have to prove themselves in RSA, Aus and Eng before anyone from those nations accepts they can actually play, whereas the same doesn't apply to (predominantly) white nations touring the subcontinent. /rant

Its not a rant. You make a great point. Don't let the "political correctness" get in the way.

Its all we've been saying..Ever since the 96 durban test i've been calling the whole cricket world hypocrites. If it spins, it bad but its ok if it swings and bounces. I've been always critical of Sri lankan pitches which gives nothing to bowlers for 4 days and starts turning on the last day, gicing nightmares to team that bats lost. But the current SA series is similar in that the team the bats first has a huge disadvantage. Bloody fking hypocrites.

14 years without a series win against India and he spouts this

'I learnt a few tricks from Zaheer' - Anderson

James Anderson revealed that he learnt a few tricks from Zaheer Khan which helped him transform into a lethal bowler. Anderson, who played a big role in England retaining the Ashes, said he picked up from Zaheer how to hide the ball in hand so the batsmen didn't know which way it would swing when he visited India in England's tour of 2008. "Last time we were in India, Zaheer Khan was hiding the ball in his hands so the batsmen didn't know which way it would swing. I picked that up from him," Anderson said. He said he watched a lot of other international cricketers and learned from them in his determined effort to come out of his disastrous form in the Ashes in Australia four years ago. "I picked up a lot from Mohammad Asif when he was in England, how he hit the seam and could swing and wobble the ball. He is a world-class bowler and I try to learn and develop different kinds of deliveries from that," Anderson was quoted as saying by 'Mirror' tabloid. Anderson said changing the attitude was the key before perfecting skills such as swing, seam and reverse swing. "Body language is a huge thing - especially for a bowler. You don't want to be seen trudging to your mark so I try to keep my shoulders back and be as positive as possible. "In the past, I've been pretty average in that respect. People were telling me and I saw it for myself when I looked at games on TV. I could see my body language wasn't good enough," said Anderson who is the leading wicket taker in the ongoing Ashes with 17 from four matches. Kevin Pietersen might have claimed that England would not have retained the Ashes with Peter Moores still in charge but Anderson has praised the former coach for keeping faith in him. "We were in New Zealand in early 2008 when Matthew Hoggard and Harmison were dropped and myself and Stuart Broad back into the side. Our coach at the time Peter Moores wanted me to lead the attack and gave me a lot of responsibility. "That boosted my confidence and things have gone from there," he said. "I always knew I had a lot more ability and skill than I'd shown until that point. I knew I could improve a hell of a lot. I also knew I could perform at this level because I did it to an extent when I first started with England. I thought that if I could improve and work hard at my game I could perform really well," he said.
