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

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:

Watch out for the finger mate. Watch out ... :angry_smile:

Oye Serani, do you want us to bail out your small island "nation" (smaller than our smallest state), the way we are bailing out the rest of Europe? If you want us to toss at dime at you, just tell us. We are magnanimous people.

[Moman211]

any one who responded is a moron. i mean come on seriously cant you see hes getting a reaction he wanted to get and btw which idiot said Indias a third world country? wtf u trying to put your country down. India is a emerging country like China,Brasil and Russia.

[ganeshran]

:facepalm: Serani, stop trolling and guys, stop responding in kind CT suggested a nice DVD for passionate English fans.. why not discuss about it instead?

[Serani]

Good DVD, Nice cover, its blue. Nice. I like that very much. I like how bold the title is, just to make sure everyone knows England are the number 1. Also the lovely feature of seemingly having the england badge burnt into the background is really nice, almost as if England have come "out of the ashes" so to speak.

Don't think it will sell....They havent won enough

[panther]

apart from india in india i would back them to beat any team home or away

[Rightarmfast]

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

Is that why they are having to import players from around the world to make a World XI which just won them the test ranking ? Lolz !!!

[Sundar88]

The world cup is considered to be the pinnacle in every major sport, including Cricket. The ICC itself considers the ODI world cup and the Champions Trophy to be the most important tournaments in Cricket. The world T20 is more like a mini world cup since it's held once every couple of years as opposed to once in 4 years. Australia have by far been the best team winning 4 world cups and 2 champs trophies. India have won 2 world cups, a champions trophy and a world T20, West Indies have won 2 world cups and a champions trophy, Sri Lanka have won a world cup and a champions trophy, Pakistan have won a world cup and a world T20, South Africa and New Zealand have won a champions trophy each. ALL ENGLAND HAVE MANAGED IS A WORLD T20 DESPITE INVENTING THE GAME OF CRICKET, HOSTING MORE ICC TOURNAMENTS THAN ANY OTHER NATION AND APPARENTLY HAVING "World-Class academies". By the way, all the "third world" countries have been way more successful than England. Even a team like Sri Lanka which was a minnow until couple of decades ago has a world cup to show. It was funny how many England supporters thought their useless team would win the world cup and after they got owned in typical fashion, they said England never took limited overs cricket seriously. Even in test cricket, for about 15 years or so prior to 2005 England never really was one of the top sides. Australia was far ahead of everyone else followed by India and South Africa. As of now, India have still been the no.1 test team for 20 months whereas England have only been there for 2 months, despite being competitive in only 1 format of the game. I've always thought the reason why England, Ireland and Scotland have separate sports teams instead of just one UK team is because they know they're not good enough to win anything so they send several teams hoping one of them manages to win a world cup or something. Imagine if India were to send 4 teams representing each zone. I love how England supporters were posting comments on cricinfo on how the BCCI "bought" this year's world cup. Their media and commentators constantly accuse the BCCI of being bullies even though it was their board that had a VETO in the ICC at one point. To me England are just a bunch of sore losers and the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Anyway, I'd rather support a team that loses every single test match and bilateral series it plays as long as it manages to win important tournaments like world cups and champions trophies than a team like England that wins insignificant matches but consistently fails at the big stage. Even with our "unfit psyche" and virtually no genuinely fast bowlers we have been a far more successful team than England. tl dr; STFU until England wins something significant at the world stage, the fact that you invented cricket and have won virtually no ICC cup is pathetic.
