Digressing slightly, how does one pronounce 'Rahane'?
Is it like; 'Rah-hayn' or 'Rah-ha-nay' or something different?
Figured this question wasn't worth of it's own thread
Not exactly, think it's Ruh-ha-nay

I thought he took the reins for a series somewhere when Clarke and Ponting were both injured. Or am I thinking of a few ODIs?Has never even captained Australia in a Test has he?
LOL he wasn't even in the team on that tour

India has not only lost 7 overseas tests in a row they have lost 4 of their last 5 by an innings. That is an astonishingly poor run and I don't know if there has ever been an Indian team even in the 50's which performed so poorly abroad. And this is the same team which was no.1 a year back and which was consistently competitive everyhwere for a decade before that. I guess this is what happens when you rely heavily on your batting and the core of that batting is in the late 30's. At that age you can get a great series now and then but it's really hard to turn in consistent performances against good bowling.

This is India's worst losing streak in overseas tests since 1968

From 59 to 68 India lost 17 consecutive tests abroad though obviously spread out over a long period. In 67 and 68 India lost 7 consecutive test matches in England and Australia though only two of them by an innings. In 1959 India lost 5-0 to England with three innings defeats. In 1962 India lost to 5-0 in the West Indies with two innings defeats. So this is right up there with the worst overseas losing streaks India has had. I don't believe India has ever lost 4 out 5 overseas games by an innings.

I had a wicketkeeper in England drop a catch where the ball actually hit him in the guts at perfect catching height and dropped on the ground...I was on a hat-trick at the time. Part of the reason I find their kind hard to digest to be honest
My first 15 wickets were all bowled in that comp as no **** could catch! (or umpire)

Haha I don't think it's that bad a call but I find it really really annoying simply because it reminds me so much of the Clarke thing. And obvs because it gives fodder for morons.

I find the skier the hardest to catch myself. Sharp chance at gully etc is fine, but if it goes a long way up in the air there's too much time to think.

Yeah but in this case it's fairer because Warner is actually a potential long-term candidacy candidate.
