We have hosted a minnow like SA and prepared a dustbowl instead of hosting Australia in pitches with variable bounce and little turn if we wanted to hold on to our #1 position in my humble opinion.
When was the last time you toured SL then?Whilst managing to avoid touring SA, Aus and England.
You speak like touring Eng and SA is going to be so different. Whooped Eng's ass once(wait a minute, been doing it for 15 years), will do the same to the other part of Eng - SA.Whilst managing to avoid touring SA, Aus and England.
Haha yeah, Hope the #4vs#5 series doesn't steal the thunder though.Man taipan is going to make the SA vs. India test series thread interesting. Going to be some fierce rivalry.
If its kept civil it could be some good fun
Be amazed and stfu then. My language skills without resorting to insults have dried up.
The BCCI prevented the South Africans from beating England and Australia at home too. Those bastards!The 10 point penalty they would have recieved that put them below SA if they did not not play two Tests in October being the key point in figuring out the reason for playing Tests. Damn the BCCI, they manipulated the formula expertly. Good sleuthing there guys.
Sorry. I assumed you are hard enough. Won't resort to insults from now on now that I know you are so sensitive.I am doing my bestest to avoid resulting to offensive language. Obviously you aren't.
BTW, India have played Australia much more than SA have in the past decade. Just FYI.Whilst managing to avoid touring SA, Aus and England.

The bottom line is that the present Indian team will never be viewed as one of the great teams.
Apart from beating a weak NZ team away, about 3 years back, they haven't played outside the sub-continent for years.
AWTA. All the most serious cricket watchers are waiting for the first Indian away tour in three years.As opposed to playing at home in India?
Yeah, I think most serious cricket watchers would think the same.
No, I meant the players.As opposed to playing at home in India?

Thats irrelevant.BTW, India have played Australia much more than SA in the past decade. Just FYI.

War? Bahahahaha, you ARE war.Thats irrelevant.
Discussions about IND touring AUS, SA, ENG in their rise to # 1, are based on series from 2007 onwards. After AUS declined ended in Jan 2007.
CheersDon't worry, I'm hard enough. Just trying to respect other's wishes so as to remain civil.
