Sarkar Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 with all due respect' date=' when has india been a dominant no 1 team? Yes they were no 1 but certainly never a dominant no 1. Pakistan has never dominated tests either.[/quote'] India won more series than Pakistan when they were dominant team still in odi India are dangerous side. Link to comment
mishra Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 England team is defintely a force. Apart from their Pakistani adventure they have won in allmost every country... India is probably their last frontier. Then even great Aussies didnt find it easy in India Link to comment
Naaz-neesh Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 England team is defintely a force. Apart from their Pakistani adventure they have won in allmost every country... India is probably their last frontier. Then even great Aussies didnt find it easy in India how can you say that, when in recent times they have yet to win a series away in pakistan (uae), sri lanka, india, west indies, and south africa...this england is great english team, but overrated, mainly becoz they have to be hyped up due to faltering popularity of tests every else.

singhprakash72 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I think this English side has enough ammunition to beat Aus & SA (other good teams) at home or away..but the question is in subcontinent they will need to prove themselves ...current series against a jaded SL side showed they struggled to dominat but they have a team that can go on to become dominant side.

deathmonger Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 pakistan actually won test matches vs west indies when wi were at their peak. I would love to see Dhoni's no 1 team win a single test vs wi of the 80's india actually won test matches vs australia when australia was at their peak. I would love to see Imran's not no 1 team win a single test vs Aus of 2000s Link to comment
deathmonger Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 ]yes what a wonderful achievement to beat australia on home pitches when their two main bowlers had retired and some other great batsmen were on their last legs. Pakistan are not the no 1 team of the 80's, West indies were. However pakistan actually managed to win test matches in the WI VS WI in the 80's, which is a far more significant achievement than winning a series in Wi vs the current mediocre WI team. And yes, Imran's team would hammer Dhoni's team around anyday. 2001 series. Also Imran's team was crap. How many overseas series win did they have? Kapil's team would wipe their asses with Imran's team. Link to comment
ShebbySB Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 they are already the greatest England team ever' date=' far exceeding expectations then previous england teams could ever dream of. but they are just another ordinary no.1 like india previously.[/quote'] Still we've managed to stay there for almost 2 years,a dream for some teams with who have never tasted the feeling of being at the top.:giggle: Link to comment
ShebbySB Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Anderson's sweet dream will turn into a nightmare when they will tour us at the end of this year. Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 This should be considered as a 2-0 lead for South Africa lol. 2 wickets vs 20 wickets Link to comment
Sarkar Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Even the South Africans in England Team couldnt help in defeating South Africa. Link to comment
Laaloo Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Even the South Africans in England Team couldnt help in defeating South Africa. tu saala deshdrohi hai england mein reh kar england ke khilaaf hai Link to comment
Needforspeed Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 England lost 20 wickets against 2 of SA and still scored less runs. Nobody would have expected this kind of defeat. England can still come back. Remember the India SA 2011 series. India lost the first Test by an innings and came back to win the second..and then dominated the 3rd Test. So with SA u can never tell.

VRV Singh Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/england/9413487/Poor-preparation-means-that-South-Africa-and-other-touring-sides-are-short-changing-the-English-paying-public.html Poor preparation means that South Africa and other touring sides are short-changing the English paying public The opening day of this show-down series lacked lustre, because South AfricaÃÔ bowlers lacked rhythm and their whole team lacked match-practice. Although there were two mitigating factors for South Africa, this shortfall in preparation by touring teams - and especially those touring England - has become a tiresome trend which is damaging Test cricket. The first mitigating factor was the Oval pitch: it is a good one for England, and Graeme Swann, but not good for a Test match. It is suspiciously dry for such a non-summer, but above all it is too slow for the sparks to fly, which is what the average spectator had paid the best part of a hundred pounds to see from the worldÃÔ two best pace attacks. Still, the fundamental fact about the opening day was that the South Africans went into this series short of a gallop. Two warm-up games - one of them certain to be rain-abbreviated - cannot be enough to adjust overseas players to EnglandÃÔ distinctive pitches, and different manufacture of ball, and idiosyncratic overhead conditions (the polite term for constant cold and cloud). So for Alastair Cook, scoring his 20th Test hundred was just another day at the office. For a touring team going into a five-Test series, there might be some justification in being undercooked, because they don't want to peak too soon. For a team going into a three-Test series, and failing to peak until they are 1-0 down, there is none at all. So to stop Test cricket being degraded as it is, the only way is to hit administrators where it hurts: for a litigious spectator to look at the cost of his ticket, and at the upper hand that England have after day one because of the tourists poor start, and reckon that the touring countryÃÔ administrators have defrauded him, or her. :hatsoff: Link to comment
Vilander Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 How come our hyped up team stayed for Number 1 for almost 20 months?? Luck?? 21 months in one stretch and a few weeks in an other if i am not wrong. I dont understand how people can ignore the basics. a team is No 1 because of its past perfoormance, when England beat the No 1 India, they became No 1. but they did not beat the No 1 India when it toured them last time thats one of the facts that lead to India becoming No 1 away series wins in Eng,WI,NZ earlier in SL. Away draws in SA, close loss in Aus. India is currently a mid carder but it earned the right to be no 1, it is no more hypedup than Eng or for that matter Aus. Link to comment
