wobblydoggy Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 There is an arguement to be made that Tendulkar and Dravid although great batsmen benefit from slower wickets that do less for the majority of their time at the crease. In English, SA and Aus conditions the ball does more of the pitch etc. Discuss

So did Ganguly. Lords is one of the flattest pitch in the world. You just ran into an under-prepared Indian side. Also have a look at Ponting's record, Lara's record in India.
cricketman Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Let your batsman score in india and then we'll talk obvious troll is obvious
Ultimate_Game Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Gee I wonder why English batsmen can't benefit from "slower wickets" as well
Rightarmfast Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Yeah...whats wrong with the English batsmen...Why cant they score on these easy wickets ? Err...damn, ok accepted..they dont even score on English wickets...Its the saffers who score on english wickets :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:

rkt.india Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 dravid and tendulkar both have 50+ average overseas. ask ricky ponting what avereage he has in india

wobblydoggy Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 Let your batsman score in india and then we'll talk obvious troll is obvious Just saying that your home conditions are easier to ours
cricketman Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 haha... batting in blistering heat and humidity is easier than cool english weather?
wobblydoggy Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 dravid and tendulkar both have 50+ average overseas. ask ricky ponting what avereage he has in india Overseas or away from home. You play in Bangladesh etc too
Misu243 Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Ball does a lot more at pace on our wickets/ Ball spins more off surface in sub continent. No doubt England has outclassed India in every department in Test series but it still has to win in the sub continent to prove they are champions. Until then, the number 1 ranking is theirs well deserved. Also, it would be interesting to see how the ODI series goes.

Lords is one of the flattest pitch in the world. You just ran into an under-prepared Indian side.

vvvslaxman Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Ball does a lot more at pace on our wickets/ Ball spins more off surface in sub continent. England has always been a high scoring venue for India except this series. India beat you by an innings for christsake at Leeds in 2003. Dravid 148, Tendulkar 193, Ganguly 128. You are just having a fantastic run. But don't include this run with previous visits of India as you lost on one occasion and drew on another occasion.
kabira Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Just saying that your home conditions are easier to ours its not, if you think that way, you are delusional. Batting is easy in india with hard new ball, but gets difficult with soft ball.
rkt.india Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Overseas or away from home. You play in Bangladesh etc too takle out subcontinent and check. i dnt bother to post the stats.
Rightarmfast Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Ball does a lot more at pace on our wickets/ Ball spins more off surface in sub continent. So you accept yourself that both places have their own challenges . And you need different skills to play on either wickets. So what was the point of this thread ? Obvious troll. Just dont create a thread just to prove Indians are poor for your feel good factor. Dont be delusional. One bad series is not the end of the world for India and a home win for England means nothing. At home, they anyways should be winning, why overzealous ?
wobblydoggy Posted August 22, 2011 Author Posted August 22, 2011 haha... batting in blistering heat and humidity is easier than cool english weather? Agreed , but I am talking things happening off the pitch
