surajmal Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 This India vs. England match/series reminds me of Rocky 3. India is obviously the Rocky in this scenario. A guy with physical limitations but what he lacks in talent he makes up for it with heart and effort. England is the new hotshot on the block who thinks the world is at his feet after winning 1 bout with the champ. Unfortunately the pride comes before the fall... And we know the end of Rocky 3. For rest the wrist slitters on the message board... Here is Frank Sinatra - High Hopes. nIDLC8M4R28

surajmal Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 I'd go with Australia as Apollo Creed (champion of the bygone era) and England as Clubber (England isn't #1 yet but possesses a big mouth) with Drago still to be decided (probably SA - since they are the most finished product when it comes to winning in all conditions).
rahulrulezz Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Its ironic how we blame England for overconfidence/arrogance yet call ourselves Rocky.... lol look at some of comments in cricinfo where almost every Indian fan keeps repeating we are champs we are champs for every small criticism of Indian player
