The Realist Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 LOSERLAND' date= LOSERLAND LOSERLAND. We are the greatest nation on earth at over hyping on paper when all evidence points to the contrary on the field . Fixed.
jairamesh Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 2005 team- Trescothick (30), Strauss (28), Vaughan (31), Bell (23), KP (25), Collingwood (29), Flintoff (28), Geriant Jones (29), Giles (32), Hoggard (29), Harmison (27), Simon Jones (27) 2011 team - Strauss (34), Cook(26), Trott (30), KP (31), Bell (29), Morgan (25), Prior (29), Swann (32), Broad (25), Tremlett (30), Anderson (29) So the 2011 team has 5 30+ players, 2005 unit had just 3 of them. Average agewise the 2011 team is elder than the 2005 team. Wonder why Botham is giving age as an excuse. 1-2 series losses and Strauss will be booted out too like Vaughan was. Some injuries are bound to happen. Maybe Botham's dream is not going to run for long. +1, was quite surprised with that, makes Botham look like even a bigger idiot.
Rana Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I dont see how pakistan came into this. If it were upto them, they would have Beefy crucified!
Malcolm Merlyn Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 I dont see how pakistan came into this. If it were upto them, they would have Beefy crucified! Someone said that only 2 teams in history have dominated cricket in their era WI and AUS And then a Pakistani poster said PAkistan team of 90s dominated cricket in that era.Can someone tell me how did they dominate cricket in 90s?

Malcolm Merlyn Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 They didnt' date=' chalo ab khush?[/quote'] If you can prove that they did,i would be more than happy to accept.
Blue-no1 Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 As Amitabh said in Muqaddar Ka Sikandar "Pehle Sikandar se to Nipat Phir J.D. ki Soch" Similarly our challenge to Sir Idiot Bottom is "Pehle Srilanka se to Nipat Phir India ki Soch":--D
Zap_Brannigan Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 If you can prove that they did' date='i would be more than happy to accept.[/quote'] you want FACTS?
jairamesh Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 you want FACTS? apparently because they won some dodgy world cup controversially in that period, hence the illusion of domination
Ultimate_Game Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 Pak team of 90s says hi :cantstop::cantstop::cantstop::cantstop: Thanks for the laugh :haha:
mishra Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 If you can prove that they did' date='i would be more than happy to accept.[/quote'] Wheteher they did or not, but during my childhood Imran and co allways used to beat us. They filled my heart with grief, that too repeatedly :(( . I hoped but never believed that tables will turn so much :yay:

I used to despise them when they played India but could care less now.

They filled my heart with grief, that too repeatedly :(( . I hoped but never believed that tables will turn so much :yay:[/quote'] The way their umpiring was and their ball tampering was i am not even going to worry about those results. Bossbhai posted an excerpt from a book about that Pakistan series. I am not going to give credit to those buggers. In 1978 we won 2-0 in India. In 1983 They won 3-0 in Pakistan. Then few draws. Then they won 1-0 in India. It was sad India lost the last test by 17 runs after playing well for 4 tests. This is one test India should have won. Pakistan players were clueless against Roger Binny. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/current/match/63453.html
mishra Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks.. Still childhood is gone. I am happy that our kids are watching India win. They arent at times getting tears in their eyes. Thanks Sachin, Thanks Dhoni, thanks Yuvi Zak,Munaf, Raina... and BCCI
