Botham is a ****

[apuk79]

Just heard him on Sky today going on about how england are the no 1 team in the world. hello look at the league table first please before talking!! Also SL lost it today rather than england winning.

Man India vs. England test series will be EXCITING! Phod dalo firangio ko :two_thumbs_up: btw haven't been up to date with the news...Is Sachin Tendulkar going to be in the squad for test series????

[vvvslaxman]

Let him hype as much as possible. It is good for us.

[Zero_Unit]

Remember one thing. They can try to glorify as much as they want because the loss against us is going to sting them that hard aswell. SL really had a bad day and nothing extraordinary. Let's wait and see the rest of the test series. BOTHAM shut your PIE HOLE plz!!

Dogs keep on barking but the caravan passes on.

Botham is quite entitled to his opinion. He is a retard allright. BUT I am not backing India in this coming England tour. Indian team is unlikely to be in full strength

India full strength + quick start = rape of england (take this to the bank)

Yeah but the real question is do India want to be at full strength ? I have serious doubts. I think they are content with what they have achieved so far. I do think England are showing greater passion and focus towards their targets.

Something similar was said before Ind/Eng WC encounter.

He keeps saying that India needs to win in England to prove themselves but that shoe fits both ways. England also needs to win in India to prove themselves.

[saneindian]

Remember Wessels, Haysman, Robin jackman during the SA series? Exactly those same words were being spoken about SA and how SA are the best team in the world and how they are going to demolish India. They all went silent after Durban. Expect the Sky crew to continue moaning and then look for excuses during the India-England series too.

[The Outsider]

All India needs to come out with a drawn series is two cloudy days with Zaheer going full throttle and I am pretty sure we'll get them in 20 days of test cricket.

Well actually India did win in 2007. I am struggling to think when was the last time England won in India

[mishra]

It is generally a norm for them. before the series they outrightly reject opponent. After the series they take the same set of positives from each series. :--D

Man India vs. England test series will be EXCITING!?

No Doubt.

[Ramzz]

Let them say what they want to. Why are we getting so upset about it?

[DomainK]

Botham is setting himself up for epic pwnage. This will make the series even more interesting. I also remember that England was supposed to win the world cup as they were the "best team". Whatever happened to that? :dontknow:

[ganeshran]

I rest my case. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/win-wc-tell-dhoni-hes-dreaming-says-dean/761803/

Win WC? Tell Dhoni he's dreaming, says Dean Jones - March 13th Given their weak bowling and unimpressive fielding even the high quality batsmen cannot save India's World Cup campaign, feels former Australian batsman Dean Jones who says winning the coveted trophy will remain just a dream for Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men. "The three main common denominators consistent with all World Cup champion teams are: Your top four batsmen must be of a high quality. They must have the technique to play the new ball, as well as have the power and stroke play during powerplays. Your top four bowlers must be of high quality, able to absorb pressure and bowl defensively in powerplays. If you can't field, don't bother turning up!" Jones said in his column for 'The Age'. "All this taken into account, I do not believe India will win the World Cup with its current form. Tell Dhoni, he's dreaming," wrote Jones in his article.
