The ones who are saying this is revenge are saying this is revenge for the ODI leg of our tour to England this summer... Strange why you would confuse it with tests when everyone has made it pretty clear that it is not...
Define no one.. I count quite a few posters who do care about this..
agreed, that was a cr*p post from that guy ..
Aus weren't depleted, but India did lose zaheer due to injury , sehwag and gambhir were affected by injuries as well ... Anyways England were by far the better side and deserved to win the series.
Its funny how the English care about a one-day series only when they are winning.
Precisely why this isn't an unimportant series technically, but the results are what is unimportant.
Eh? I don't think we'd have won or something if our injured players were playing, because England were simply better, but you can't deny the obvious injury issues we faced, granted some like Zaheer's may have been due to a lack of commitment on his part. Don't agree with the post you quoted obviously, that was a terrible post. Comparing results from 20 years ago is pretty meaningless.
I am pretty sure that had England been winning this ODI series which I know was never on the cards, then the English fans and media would have been bleeting about.
Got the reaction I was expecting because truth is always bitter.However,my point was that there is a difference between the No.1 team and the team ranked first in the ranking.England do not belong to the former category at present. A fully fit Indian team is a better Test side than England even now in spite of the recent drubbing,but was not the No.1 team even when it was ranked first.That was why I said Neither of these teams deserve to be the No.1 team at present
Didn't really care about the one day series in England to be fair, just found it funny that India went the full tour without a win.Its funny how the English care about a one-day series only when they are winning.
England were the better side in England. And India as usual pretty strong at their home.
As did England last time they were in India
If we'd beaten India in India, those two points would be true, so why wouldn't they?
They won't this time
1. England are much better than India. One of the most one-sided whitewashes you could ever imagine. It's up to India to prove otherwise by winning some proper cricket against England.
Haha true.Its funny how the English care about a one-day series only when they are winning.
Dhoni's record on Tosses is really atrocious. Probably should send Gambhir to do them.
I guess that should largely be down to Diwali being tomorrow(and the series being over and one sided) and Kolkatta isn't getting as much crowds in any case these days as they used to, for some reason which is sad.
Of course! England would have had a right to say that if it had happened because beating the world champions in their backyard would be a big achievement but the fact that it would have been a noteworthy achievement from which such judgements can be made, means it cannot then be regarded as a meanigless series!
England were better than India when we toured and deserved to win! but they are not a better ODI side, and have not proved that they are a better Test Side than us outside England! They will have to try and beat us next year to do that, and that will be a tall order for them.
