Laaloo Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 So' date='we were home bullies all along :hmmm:.[/quote'] Not before the England series but the recent thrashings will leave a BIG STAIN on the LEGACIES!!
jonas10 Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Maybe in 2072 we will be back to no...unfortunately most of us might not be here.
Sid Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Not before the England series but the recent thrashings will leave a BIG STAIN on the LEGACIES!! It already has.All the good work done in test cricket for past 2-3 years has gone down the drain in matter of 6 test matches.Sad part is there are still 2 more thrashings to come our way.
Aussie-r-best Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 We will atleast win one match :om: Where???? :)
Aussie-r-best Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 Not before the England series but the recent thrashings will leave a BIG STAIN on the LEGACIES!! Huh?? What do you mean not before the Eng series. Name the successes outside india (and this is series wins) especially in SA, Eng or Aus where the result mans something (you can count WI in the 70s and 80s too)
RickyPonting Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 What a horrid thrashing we have had. But let me tell you one thing. We are not as bad is it seems and definitley England are not as good as they seem. First England aint all that. They are the best test team in the world I agree at the moment. But this is no empire starting ala Windies and Aussie empires. They will get their **** handed back to them on occassions in next 2 years. We can certainly get back at them. This series was horrific but does not reflect the genuine 2 abilities of the sides. India had the worst prepartion possible, I mean for gods sake we had a gruelling year cultimating in the world cup win, then 4 days later IPL started, the physicall and mental drain was enormous, our scheduling was a joke, it meant we arrived tired, mentally not up for it and lambs to the slaughter. Meanwhile England had physical and mantal preparation at A1 level, they arrived for day 1 with peak preperation physiaclly and mantally. We were also ravaged by injuries meaning some of our best players who won us scores of matches did not play, this meant england played an understrength India. Not only that but our top players often got injured in middle of matches meaning in at least 3 out of the 4 matches we played with 10 men only re ZK, Bhaji and Gambhir. Not in 1 test could we unleash a fully fit and firing Sehwag/Gambhir the best opening pair in world cricket, along with our best bowler ZK. England did not beat the No 1 test team, they beat a team with key players missing who get them there to No 1. We got no luck in this series at all. Despite the above I still believe Eland would have won the series and are the best test team. However, they are not that much better then us, as the results were massivley distorted by the above. We will kill them next time they come to India. England away record is average and they could be labbeled as home bullys with their tailored tracks for seam/swing. England have a lot to prove! We were number 1 for over 2 years, they will need to do similar to be as good as our No 1 team and show they are not some flash in the pan team. Clealry now we need to look to the future and reclaiming the No1 test spot. Its not all bad as we are still world champs and will remain so for 4 years no matter how bad we become:--D. We also have great players who have some good years still in them, Sachin for one aint going no were. But clearly young players are going to come in like Kohli, Rohit and co. The key for our knee jerk fans is to stay patient with the young talents. They will fail at times in next 18 months but thats fine as you need to learn about failure to succedd. Do not write them of after a bad match or series, they will learn from playing and improve. Kohli was dissapointing for example in windies but I still firmly beileve he is a future test great, he will improve massivley from that and have learnt bucket loads. All our present legends had big periods of failure and fingers pointing out them saying throw them out they are no good. But they fought back and bulit on their failures, identify the class and back them. ZK was dumped out of team for being rubbisah and having stinking attitude, look at him now, arguably Indias greatest ever pacer. Gambhir was dumped as well for a year or so with again resident experts saying not good enough, came back to be ranked No 1 test batter. Point is stay patient with Rohit, Kohli, Ishant(who is delivering now anyway) and co. Even a Mukund has experience and some success, he may well come back to be a great player. Look at England team who being hailed as superstars. Loads of their players went through horror patches and dumped with fingers pointing at them saying not good enough. Remember Bell the sherminator, Strauss was 1 match from the axe, Cook got destroyed in 1st tour of OZ, KP only this year was close to axe,Prior could not catch a cold a few years back and was hailed as worst glove work ever(now england pundits saying maybe best eng keeper ever and best in world now), Swann attitude problem and dumped from england team for years. Broad was pathetic up until this year, now look. Point is we need to stay patient with our young talents as it they need a long rope to deliver. Mark my words we will be back as NO 1 test team within 2 years. We have unbelivable young talent coming through, easily best in world(despite idiots like Atherton and co who know nothing about indian cricket saying we have nothing after the legends). Its not all doom and gloom, we will be back to bring glory and pride back. Watch out England, this aint over, its only just beggining! :giggle: :cantstop: :haha: :hysterical: :yay:
NeutralCat Posted January 25, 2012 Posted January 25, 2012 We will be number 8 soon enough, we are just lucky we don;t travel overseas for about 2 years after the Aussie series, we actually do deserve to be number 8 in the world, disgusting joke.
Trundler27 Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 We will be No 1 in T20's very soon... just be patient folks. .... I'm just curious to see how this test team will fare against our ranji champs rajasthan... I bet they can give these oldies a run for their money
fineleg Posted January 26, 2012 Posted January 26, 2012 ROFL @ dsr threads He has no sense of reality and just bigging up things
King Tendulkar Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 Plonka falling for my traps. I seek attention and you give it to me:two_thumbs_up: p.s we will be again one day!
King Tendulkar Posted January 26, 2012 Author Posted January 26, 2012 I now have the 7 top treads on ICF. This must be a record:cantstop: The hits my threads get are massive. ICF should pay me for my services!
