How confident are you that India will beat Eng/Aus at home?

[special K]

all minnow bashing in our early days. we whitewashed you 3-0 in 92-93. won over there in 86 and 07 where you did not win a single match.

India back to being minnows.:woot:

[wobblydoggy]

side totally different includes cook' date=' trott, pietersen, bell, bresnan, swann, finn.[/quote'] yep, not the test side at all, no prior or strauss or anderson or morgan or tremlett

[wobblydoggy]

India back to being minnows.:woot:

yep:giggle:

I'm pointing the ashes results out to show that it's not uncommon for us to do well in a test series but fall to bits in ODI's. This is because so much is putting into the tests and ODI's aren't taken with quite the same respect. So your comparision with ODI's and test form has no bearing on one another. If we lose the test series to India but won the ODI series nobody back home would care about the ODI result. Just disappointed with the test performances.

what i'm saying is it gives an idea about conditions. in the 6-1 england competed (although lost). in the 5-0 in four of the matches you guys struggled to cross 200. jadeja and ashwin were weaving webs around you. and odis are not slogfests like t20s. middle overs require plenty of negotiating the ball around, taking singles etc.

[deathmonger]

yep' date=' not the test side at all, no prior or strauss or anderson or morgan or tremlett[/quote'] anderson sucks in odis in sc - 91 in 10 overs. strauss/prior - kicked out of odi team. the main heroes trott, cook and pietersen were there.

Go and have a look at our test batting against India over the last 30 years and you will see a huge difference. What makes me laugh is where will you go when we start winning We are expected to lose, if Eng rack up wins and draws in the SC you will look very silly

[wobblydoggy]

england minnows in sc. :cantstop:

This is the difference between us and you, we do not see any side touring as minnows We look at the strengths of their team You think just the conditions will beat us

[wobblydoggy]

anderson sucks in odis in sc - 91 in 10 overs. strauss/prior - kicked out of odi team. the main heroes trott, cook and pietersen were there.

ODI's yawn Do you not realise that batsmen bat totally different in a 50 over slogfest than they do when batting in a test where you might bat for 160 overs?

Yeah but we own you in 20/20. Lets compare that to test cricket.

in india it isn't that good. What makes me laugh is you will disappear when you guys lose just like you weren't anywhere to be seen in the series over here.

[deathmonger]

Yeah but we own you in 20/20. Lets compare that to test cricket.

Won same number of world t20s.

what series over there, we have not had a test series over there for years:--D

[special K]

Won same number of world t20s.

But we're 3-1 in head to heads. The point is, comparing 20/20 to ODI's is like comparing ODI's to tests.

[deathmonger]

what series over there' date=' we have not had a test series over there for years:--D[/quote'] u were invisible in the odi series. before it u were saying something about both teams being young or some such bullshit. then you disappeared.

[deathmonger]

But we're 3-1 in head to heads. The point is, comparing 20/20 to ODI's is like comparing ODI's to tests.

yeah nice. thing is in the pinnacle of all three forms we've been better world cup - 2 to 0 t20 cup - 1 each world no 1 - 22 months to 4 months

[special K]

yeah nice. thing is in the pinnacle of all three forms we've been better world cup - 2 to 0 t20 cup - 1 each world no 1 - 22 months to 4 months

Yeah whatever. We have better head to head in 20/20 and tests. Test being the most significant. We've been the no.1 team before rankings existed. Only Aus and West Indies have created a dynasty but there have been other teams at the top that were not quite so dominant. England has been no.1 a long time ago.

[wobblydoggy]

70-72

Oh I disappeared HMMM By creating a thread saying 'bye folks I dont watch Odi cricket' Yeah I was really hiding :hysterical:

[deathmonger]

yeah when most teams were minnows and aus and eng were the only proper two teams? :haha:
