India should give up their test status

[TheWall]

No i won't :icflove:

then stop torturing us....

[Lord]

But atleast they beat the English at UAE a neutral venue. Whereas dhoni & co couldn't win even after having the home conditions & being able to influence the groundsman.

UAE is hardly neutral to Pakis vs England.We lost to Eng but since have won every series at home.Pak couldnt even beat SL,got whitewashed in SA where we fought well,remember 49 all out?

[BlueBee]

But we're the king of SC..If we should give up our test status then Pak don't deserve to play cricket :D

[undisputed chap]

Guys just think about this : If we lose even 4-0 against eng we will slip to no.7 in the test rankings. To follow this we have series vs aus. The likes of MJ &Harris will be too much for us. This meanwhile warner. & clarke ground us into the mud. It will be 18-0 in no time. The only respite may come if we invite WI or BD for a home series. We are in no way ready to compete in a 4-5 match test series vs aus, eng & sa especially with such pathetic bowlers.

[BlueBee]

Think positive!

[undisputed chap]

Think positive!

Think realistic.

:cantstop: I've confidence in this team actually, they did well in NZ and SA but couldn't actually convert good starts to wins.

Really ? Did you watch what MJ did to the English & then the saffers. He wrecked the saffers even when they prepared flat beds to counter MJ. Did you see how warner flayed philander like a little bug. Playing a 4 match series against the aussies in australia is a seriously horrible decision. Don't be fooled by what sl achieved on their tour to eng. Sanga & co were busting theirs behinds in county cricket. They have a captain who is actually confident with a bat in hand not someone who charges at the bowlers like a hack. To back that we have donuts fletcher & invisible dawes as coaches

I'm not saying we'll win in Aus. But perhaps will in England

[saneindian]

Start with yourself. Quit as a fan as maniac suggested. Trust me your support or lack of it will not be missed at all.

perfectly sums up the thread, its one thing to be critical of board, coach or players but stop playing a form of cricket is just a silly suggestion

[undisputed chap]

perfectly sums up the thread' date=' its one thing to be critical of board, coach or players but stop playing a form of cricket is just a silly suggestion[/quote'] If we lose 4-0 to england we will be 7th in team ranking. Afterwards we go to australia where there will be another 4-0 so we will be lying along with BD & ZIM. But it doesn't end there. India will play more 4-5 test match series vs eng, aus & sa away. So clearly we'll be lying at the bottom for years. Our only wins would be coming at home vs BD, WI. & ZIM. Unless you are a sadistic & enjoy the thrashings it's only logical that we stay out & try to get the infrastructure to develop world class fast bowlers.
