Got it old man! :tounge_smile: :omg: what a pwnage.

You are the biggest Appam I have seen here. Check those stats pre 2000 for all teams was what I was referring too. India has played more than twice the number of Test matches SL have clearly shows how far SL are in terms of Test matches. Here's another statistic for you Square Drive. SL (as of July 2011) lose 35% of the Test matches they play. Only Bangladesh (86%) and New Zealand (40%) are more than SL. Heck, even Zimbabwe just lose 31.32% of their Test matches. After playing Test cricket for so many years, it would be a shame to only best one actual Test cricket country (NZ). :hatsoff: to the Lankans for such a marvelous record.

I thought this thread is abt boringness Eng-SA test, which is finely arguable. how come SL join in here! SL in test is way too boring comparing any others. You just dont need stats (record highest partnerships, totals, drawn matches) to prove this, anyone who watches test matches pleyed in SL knows its allways dry flat pitches. Even the minnows likes to tour there to boost up their batting performance. Most importantly Eng-SA series is abt dispute of rank #1, SA have to show more than ordinary to breach in English fort here. Wicket, condition, skill, patience, stuborness evthing is part of this game. Draw here means, England winning.

I do not need to do an analysis i have watched india,australia,eng,pak tour there compared to our pitches they produce results.

[Sidhoni]

Complete derailment! :facepalm:

Well well see what our uncle has come up with now.. Murali is not an alien to take him out like that. :cantstop: He thinks it's really meaningful to talk about India's test record without Sunil Gavasakar's performance in the era that they came out as a top team, or talking about India's ODI record without Sachin's s performance. :nice: This is derailing the thread, and not even worth a discuss. :headshake:

100 English Batsman better than Bopara 1) James Taylor

[Trichromatic]

Graham Gooch

[indiaregulator]

They could put a 60 year old gooch on he would do better than Bopara.

[Ahmed]

I think BCCI is behind Ravi's inclusion

[Crookbond]

Ravindra Jadeja.

[Guest]

Salman Butt oh wait he didnt completed qualification quota....

[King Khan]

IMO Bopara is fine with the squad as long as team is wining, selectors have luxury to combining some creativity. btw he has better eligibility than KP.

[Robelinda]

even this guy is better than Bopara [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0pmsmkYRV4]**HILARIOUS** PHIL TUFNELL BATTING FAIL....YOU HAVE FAILED SON.... - YouTube[/ame]
