England has been an awesome test side for quite some time. Just because they suck at ODIs doesn't make them cack. They deserve the number 1 spot. Especially after what Ravi Shastri did.

TBH i was expecting India to lose this test series. England have been an awesome test side and Indian bowling is NOTHING without zaheer. WC cup was followed by a Zimb tour with India C side and with that punk raina as the caption followed by a B team win in WI. It's a fact that every sub-continent team struggles on seam pitches and im sure any other sub-continent team would have been beaten by this current England side. Worst test series in India's history as far as i can remember and it was very necessary to bring them back to the ground. Hopefully dhoni gets his head outta his ass and stops being arrogant.

Anth, at least your team is filled with young, inexperienced guys. We have no excuse, just poor, poor cricket along with a joke of a cricket board.
The problem is we don't give any youngsters real opportunities. I thought we had some good young bowlers on the rise but as soon as they don't perform in their first test we drop them never to be seen again. We've been turning over so much youth over the past three years we're going nowhere in this direction.

SA are looking pretty good to me.

There are so many critical, fundamental errors being made with the bat and ball.

I think I walked by your cricket board once. Good place to get coffee next door, is all I can remember. :D

Yeah 47 all out is pretty fucking terrible but on the bright side, it's not england that ripped through your batting line up.:D Well the current crop of youngsters brought on this tour have shown good promise, Ponting just isn't bringing enough to the table. We're far from great considering the change in captaincy, Amla just isn't sure of himself yet but he'll get there.

They certainly do run the national cricket team like a coffee shop.:D
