And people said Indians made a big deal about being ranked #1

I was shopping on Amazon and found this. Fans of English cricket can pre-order this DVD. [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/England-Top-World-DVD/dp/B005IF7HZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314396907&sr=8-1]England - Top Of The World [DVD]: Amazon.co.uk: Film & TV[/ame]

We all talk about BCCI wanting to make money but for the ECB too it's "just bloody business".

[Moman211]

the difference is that the ECB invests in the grass roots and has a world class academy in Loughborough while the BCCI is investing heavily in the IPL while not even bothering with domestic cricket

There are such cases in India too like the MRF Pace academy. First Class cricketer salaries have increased in the last 5 years.

I think it was more to do with a half fit Indian team rather than the brilliance of the English team. You guys are good but world beaters, absolutely not.

[Serani]

wha wha wha, being half fit seems to be ingrained in the indian psyche, no wonder your still a third world country.

Your cricketing knowledge is clearly more than the above troll comment. What works and what's not isn't a function of a series or two results. I guess you can appreciate that fact especially after supporting a team who's trying to find a winning (forget being no. 1 formula) after 30 years of playing and 150 years of inventing the game.

[Serani]

Not too far at all.

Oh FFS, this thread was to inform the English fans about the DVD and not for another retarded debate.

Speaking of troll comments, you started it. Shame your ability to take back what you dish out is on par with your cricketing knowledge, ie zero :finger:

For the first time they celebrate about something other than Ashes which is good thing. It is always good for other teams to have a challenge. Australia used to be a great challenge for 10 years. Biggest challenge for England would be how they perform in subcontinent. If they don't do well in SL and India like Australia they cannot be considered as good as they were.

wha wha wha' date=' being half fit seems to be ingrained in the indian psyche, no wonder your still a third world country.[/quote'] Indian side was half-fit , but England would've won against a fully fit side as well. But just because some Indian fans are not praising your team , you start calling Indian psyche this and that and third world country. Don't act like an insecure kid. Even in your first world , there may be some people saying the same thing.

The ECB has released many many series dvd's over the past 6 or 7 years, this one is not unique or a one off money maker. From memory you can still by England dvd's from these seasons- 04/05 vs SA, 2005 Ashes, 2006 vs Pakistan, 2007, 2008 vs SA, 2009 Ashes, 2010/11 Ashes. Look on cricshop, tons of England dvd's available.

Why is a third world country an insult lol? Next, southern hemisphere will be an insult.
