Tics, "first test we lost so what" This is not a big deal to lose the Test-1. Thats ok. But, how about the manner in which we lost? Any spirited fight? Did you see that?

[Cricketics]

when i said "so what", then offcourse i meant that series is a 4 match series and a defeat here doesn't really sums up the series result.. offcourse giving australia 1-0 up is not good.. but then u read it wrong way

No, I did not read it wrong way. I'm not talking abt 1-0. I'm talking abt if we dont show a fight when losing, how will we have the spirit and strength to show a fightback in the series? Thats what I'm asking. I hope we come back in the series. But it is looking unlikely. But whats the basis on which you are saying we will comeback?

[Rajiv]

We shall make 196+161=357 in Sydney

[sandtest]

Yep, we will come back...all we need to do is set our batting order right.....WIN is ours from next match onwards.. Tics, create the next thread....may the force be with you.:D

Tics, Can I understand your reasoning on the above?

just my assumption and feeling.... batsman needed more practice perhapz.. may well strike form soon..

Aabe ...bheje kuch hain kya tera? Jab bhi dekho bolte rahata hain?? I am serious................this indian team does not share your passion..........they are a spineless bunch of overrated cricketers........very obvious from batting, fielding and bowling in the first test that they will lose 0-4 or 0-3.

Abe, at least my so called BS is closer to the truth than his overrated misguided nationalism!!

Tics...just tell us how many times have touring teams 0-1 in Aus have won test series...0-1 DOES matter...and a performance totally out of the ordinary is needed even to draw series...and that's possible only with honest serious rethinking

[Captain of Bhangra]

We're heading for a beating. We've only played one half-decent team this year, and were lucky to win that series (rain in the first Test when we were doomed)... Oh yeah, Cricketics, I was going to out-bid you on that India cap on ebay, but didn't want to skank a fellow ICFer, and I'm too lazy to keep checking back, so I just bought one on 'buy it now' instead...

Exactly. With 0-1, we need an out of the skin perf to even DRAW! the series. Otherwise, before you blink your eye, it will be 0-3 and counting at Adelaide(test4)!

A team with a bowling attack of Tremlett,Sidebottom, Anderson and Panesar is hardly "half-decent".

A team with a bowling attack of Tremlett' date='Sidebottom, Anderson and Panesar is hardly "half-decent".[/quote'] So was it poor MP? Given the conditions that attach was quite handy and was one of the more testing series for batsman in recent times

LoL, I wasn't stalking, I just looked for the cap, and the first one that came up had your User ID as the last bidder. It worked out at about under £14 to just buy it, so did that instead as they had about 13 left... MP, more as a team (including batting etc) England were a half decent side when we played them. Other than that, we've just had Bangladesh, and a Pakistan side that only had Misbah ul Haq, and Shoaib (in short spells) playing at Test standard...
