Recent Ind vs Eng match at Mohali?

I will take it that India are finally not crap anymore. But let's not say anything before it finally happens, eh? And let's see how the series goes, shall we?

Good day for India. If India can get through tomorrow's morning session with one wicket down, it'll be nicely set up. You could bat for another session and then have 25 overs to have a go at NZ, or you could just keep batting and tire them as much as you can. The next Test isn't in too many days, and having three straight days of bowling, plus maybe bowling again in the first innings in three days is quite a task. It might be the better option.

They stopped being crap a long time ago.

It was good batting but expected, no body with a common sense expected the mighty Jeetan Patel's or Chris Martin's to roll over Sachin, Dravid and co twice on this batting beauty.

I'm just glad NZ are still competitive after 4 days.

Agree with you, but just about everyone here expected India to crumble today.

wont argue much with some one who thinks yuvraj is test class
so if we draw this we are assured of series win

Sorry, I meant crap travellers.

Disappointed in today's play.
Was hoping Yuvraj would save the day and leave some of the haterz embarrassed.

The quicker Yuvraj gets out of the Indian team, the better it will be for it.

They haven't been GREAT travellers in the past, but surely test wins in South Africa and Australia (in 2003/4 - series draw, and 2007/8) plus series wins in England and WI shows they are very solid.
You just want them to be crap.

Single matches don't count, sorry. It's the killer instinct that's sorely lacking to win a series, without which a team can't be considered one of the best in the world. For me, a series win in Aus or SA is the only thing that will confirm for me that India are anywhere near the top, and that they've put behind their spineless choking ways.
I don't want them to be crap at all - it would be great to have India be a competitive force in world cricket while touring.

Not that there's hate, it's just that he's been given so many chances and still can't get used to test cricket. He's all at sea when you watch him bat - it's obvious he doesn't know which deliveries to leave and which ones to play. His technique isn't the best and he seems to curb his natural game to step into a role thoroughly unfamiliar to him. He should be told to play his natural one-day game - at least he'll average higher and score quicker - or dropped.
In his place, almost any of the younger guys would be good.

I tend to utilise this argument in regards to Yuvi. I'd rather see Badrinath, Kaif, Tiwary or Raina be given a chance ahead of him.

None of them add any value to Number Six, and should hence not be considered.

I don't think anyone was expecting India to crumble......
