Ok so one thing I have noticed is when england batsman fail, your fans say the player is in bad form and low in confidence. Kevin piterson before the ashes is a good example. When Indian batsman are in poor form, which they are in, english people say they have poor technique and cannot play outside subcontinent.
From your conclusion england batsman should be averaging more than 100s in the subcontinant as they can play very well in the so called hardest pitches in the world. Come to subcontinent and see how your batsman struggle to draw a match.

We're not all like that viru.

Massive respect to Dravid, Laxman and Tendulkar. Most English cricket fans agree, just look at the reception given to Sachin at every ground so far.

You are making the mistake of thinking all England supporters say the same thing. I can point out many example that counter your's. England supports have said (and I paraphrase, but the example are real):

Cook should be dropped (when his form was bad).
Cook had one good series, but is rubbish.
Bell is not good enough. (Many, many times)
Peterson must be dropped.
etc, etc, etc.

yes I respect all the english players....Its according some of the posters in this site that are making out as if the indian batsman have never played well overseas. The indians are going in a bad phase and that is solely because them being underprepared, unfit, not in good form and as well as very good bowling from england. There is no doubt england are a great side. Your opposition fans needs to learn how to respect Indian team

Tendulkar and Dravid are all time greats.

Laxman, to me, is similar to Vaughan. He's a good batsman, who is pleasing to watch and who has played a few great innings. He's not a "great" batsman though

Sehwag - he's great at what he does. But what he does, doesn't work very often in English conditions and he's not even half fit on this tour.
