deepak_sach Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 Does anyone remember this test series how England were washed away by West Indies. THE WISDEN TEST 5 match series http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/352661.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/wiveng2009/engine/current/match/352662.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/wiveng2009/engine/current/match/390680.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/wiveng2009/engine/current/match/352663.html http://www.espncricinfo.com/wiveng2009/engine/current/match/352664.html It was more or less the same batting line up. England with the similar attack as of now lost the series and could not even win a single test. It is ironical how England forget such series,and series against SA where they escaped with that onions-or-tomato bowler facing last over. :hysterical::hysterical::haha::hysterical::haha: Meanwhile after 2009 India has not lost a series. And when Ishant Sharma picks up wickets Some People say worst batting lineup. They forget that wannabe-no-1 team lost against the worst batting lineup. :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Texan Posted July 8, 2011 Posted July 8, 2011 England always have a short memory :cantstop: If they win the Ashes, they think they've become the world's number one team!
mishra Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 yes..... that was most humiliating series.....:winky:
saneindian Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 To be fair to the current English side, that 51 all out was fro where their resurgence started. Evene though they couldn't win any of the 3 following tests (2nd test was abandoned), they came close on every occasion and from then on have gone on to do well in every series. In fact from that series onwards, India and England are neck to neck. So they have definitely improved from their dire situation in that test. In Cook, Trott and Bell they have now got three outstanding batsmen who have scored tons of runs in the last 18 months. Anderson, Swann and Tremlett definitely form a much more potent attack now than what they had in this series. All in all, England are an outstanding side now especially at home. Beating them is going to require us playing at our best. One bad session could decide the series and we will have to be at the top of our game in all 4 tests.
