England to play only two Tests in India

[honestbharani]

What a joke. Can no one in India appreciate the longer form? Knuckle draggers.

It is not our fault, but then again, don't let facts get in your way or anything........

 

[pasag]

lol... 3 tests and 5 ODIs would be much better.

5 Tests, 3 ODIs, tbh.

How many Boxing Day test @ melbourne have england so far played ????

India played 4 test and 7 ODI's in england last time around..so england should play 7 ODI and minimum 3 test ..instaed they bring up a filthy reason which doesnt matter when they are touring Australia or South Africa

3 tests tbh

sure.... But don't let it blur out reality...

It's England who asked for less matches. Don't let that stop you from talking crap though.

Any chance to stick the boot into India is good enough for some posters here. So pathetic.

They do it in South Africa as well.

Anyway don't the player's wifes/girl friend/friend with benefits scheme and any children they might have all appear on tour at some point, especially the longer ones?

Crap really, it should be a law that they have to play at least 3-4 Tests. Anybody who dares to suggest anything else will be required to be jettison from a cannon.

Yeah, only when they play New Zealand or Bangladesh.

So a Boxing Day Test is a traditional part of India's season?

Didn't think so.

3-ODI series' are a waste of time. 5-and-5 every time, IMO.

Although TBH - how often have England and India ever played 5-Test series'?

 

[GIMH]

4 Tests should be the norm IMO

 

[Richard]

Never been a massive fan of 4 Tests TBH, though clearly it > 3. Generally, the only time 4-Test series are played is when the schedule is being squeezed around something else - certainly I can't remember any outside England and West Indies, though there might perfectly possibly have been some. (Something's suggesting to me there may have been with New Zealand in the old days)

Right now, the only things I really want to see as 5 Tests are England-Australia, England-South Africa and India-Pakistan. Sadly, though, schedules cannot always allow.

I can't remember the last time a 5-Test series was played in the subcontinent or New Zealand. Not even absolutely certain a 5-Test series has ever been played in New Zealand. And this isn't purely due to scheduling desires of the home board - sometimes, they just haven't been given fair opportunity.

Just reckon that 4 Tests usually produce a result as there would generally be a draw. Absolutely no evidence to back that up though.
