sachin34357 Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 atm it feels like we have won the series already from the celebratory threads but just imagine if england makes a comeback and cook score couple of tons will the mood change or will be satisfied with an away win
wanted_desi Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Still better than when we lost 4-0 in 2011 :two_thumbs_up:
vvvslaxman Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Lot of us thought 0-5 loss. Even after lungan series. None of us factored in England's batting form. Bell, Prior, Cook who killed us are in atrocious form. KP out of action. No swann to frustrate us. Rightnow heat is on England to turn it around. THey had golden opportunities in both tests. They squandered both.
Yoda-esque Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Lol have you seen the threads even after the win? One would think we have lost. So no biggie whatever happens
Fontaine Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 For England to win 2-1 they would have to do something they haven't done in the last 10 matches which is win 2 out of 3. Our front line bowlers are in form, our batsmen have answered most of challenges on a green pitch and we've done it effectively with 10 men most of the time without some of our most attacking batsmen in Kohli/Dhawan yet to score big. Whereas they have major questions marks in their batting, none of their top 6 has shown any ability to counter attack like KP or Ian Bell in his prime while they're breaking in a new wicket keeper and have two underperforming fast bowlers. In the past when England lost they always bounced back because they had guys in form like Cook, Strauss, Trott, KP and Ian Bell with Anderson/Broad and Swann. Not happening this time. Really, unless we suffer multiple injuries I can't see England winning 2 out of the next 3.
vvvslaxman Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Oval test is going to be a run fest if it is a typical Oval pitch. India will have advantage there.
Bleed-Blue Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 It Will Still Be An Improvement On Last Time Around. But it would Be Very Disappointing For me because this England Team is There For The Taking whatever You Want to Call Them - Average , In A Transition Phase.It Doesn't Seem Like They Can Handle The Pressure Or Expectation From The Media Either; Prior the Latest Causality. I Would Be Very Surprised If India Doesn't Win It Now!
Desi Cartman Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Will continue to criticize MSD irrespective of result anyway
undisputed chap Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 We were lucky to win at lords due to once a life time spell by ishant or they could have easily chased it down. I still think England will win it 3-1. Three innings defeat coming up.
Midfielder Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Look at the bright side, no more Dhoni captaincy.
sachin34357 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Look at the bright side' date=' no more Dhoni captaincy.[/quote'] we didnt get rid of him when we got whitewashed in england, australia and lost at home to england, how would this loss make any difference
Midfielder Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 we didnt get rid of him when we got whitewashed in england' date=' australia and lost at home to england, how would this loss make any difference[/quote'] Should have got rid of him. You cannot do captaincy the way he handles it.
CSK Fan Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Will India still try to win or go for draw as main target? My prediction, the series will be 1-1
Old guy Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 Will India still try to win or go for draw as main target? My prediction' date=' the series will be 1-1[/quote'] dhoni has gone for win at home against australia and we won 4-0 i can understand going for draw if it was 3 match series but on long series it will be stupid as england can easily win back 2 games
Shunya Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 It will be merry time around ICF...instead of 3-4 threads about Dhoni...we will have whole 1st page of Cricket Talk section dedicated to him....everyone will get a chance to come up with threads having grand titles...
Laaloo Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 We were lucky to win at lords due to once a life time spell by ishant or they could have easily chased it down. I still think England will win it 3-1. Three innings defeat coming up. We are not losing any matches to this *****y as england side by an innings. We may lost but not my that much..
