Actually' date=' the only time India was whitewashed in Australia before the emergence of Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, and Kumble was in '67-'68. Even in the '47-'48 tour they managed to draw a test. [b']After their emergence we have been whitewashed twice.
That was early on in their careers when they didnt have enough experience. Once they settled in, they drew 1-1 against England in England in 2002, won 1-0 in 2007 against England in Eng, drew 1-1 in 2003-04 against Aus in Aus, lost 2-1 against Aus 2008 ( one test was the infamous Sydney test which should have been a draw), drew against South Africa in SA 1-1, won two test series in West Indies and won test series in New Zealand and Pakistan. Which Indian side came remotely close to these performances overseas in its history ? In fact, there was no other side which did equally well both home and away other than the Aussies during this period.

Huh? I am not saying we did poorly overseas over the last decade. I was correcting your incorrect statement that India used to get whitewashed in Australia regularly. It happened just once in '67-'68, whereas it has happened twice in the last 12 years with the said cricketers part of the team - that's a fact. India's best stretch in Australia was between '78-'79(2-3) through '80-'81(1-1) to '85-'86(0-0).

Lets see Pakistan's ODI record in 2012: -Whitewashed by England in UAE - Lost 3-1 to SL - Lost 2-1 to Aus - Won 2-1 against India Your team won ONLY 1 ODI series this year :hysterical::hysterical:
