India break quicker than anyone!

Jezzer, England drew 1-1 in India in 2006. Shaun Udal of all people took 6 wickets in an innings to win us a match.

I like what I hear neon....

One doesn't need numbers to be correct.

Dernbach!!!...yes England are currently No.1..congratulations to the team.. but do you believe todays opposing teams are as strong as teams the great West Indian and Australian teams faced when they were No.1.
(I know, you can only beat what is on offer)

When England hold the No.1 position for 2-3 years....then you can truly say they are on top of the tree after beating all comers home & away.........cheers

i was talking about when Nasser hussains team toured pakistan and won, and also when he toured Sri Lanka in about 04 and either won or drew. Englands recent record in the subcontinent is not as bad as some would make out.

I know you were, and I was pointing out another example of England doing OK in the sub.c.

And Rabbitohs , the England sides that Australia and the Windies routinely thrashed were particularly classy were they?

ok, yeah, it really somewhat of a myth that England can't play in the SC. Of course England don't do as well there as they do at home, but that is to be expected.

the one place that england really cannot play is the WACA. they have lost there 8 times out of 11 i think it is, only winning there once.

...of course not hazza, they were rubbish.......but that's my point, are they that much better now or have the opposition gone down a level or two...I believe so...

So you think the current Aussie side is worse than the England side of 1990s?

I don't

I'm not just talking about Australia being weaker now then they were in the 90's but Pakistan, India, Sri-Lanka and New-Zealand.....they are all weaker now then ever..IMO

NZ? The great victors of Hobart.

Imo it's far too easy/convenient to talk about how much better teams and their players used to be.

Black Caps TU MEKE
