now you know how the Pakistani bowlers must have felt for the better part of last decade atleast England did not have a buffoon keeper who would drop 50 catches a game.
not really. The level of buffoonery on display was much much less than the Eng-Ind encounter. I did post a few of those in the series threadPretty sure bumped some posts laughing at suggestions that Pak could trouble England before the series and also someone else did a post saying Morgan and Bell were pretty good players of spin etc..
Probably there wouldn't be as many contenders because the build up was smaller, but there should still be sufficient amount if you take in related threads. Would rather have the Pakistani fans do it, if they want though.
yeah. The general level of fielding was pathetic for the pak bowlers
No; the conclusion is that Ajmal performed better than Swann on England's tour of the UAE. Why anyone thought one series was going to be definitive, especially when there was a significant gap between them in terms of results before the series started, is beyond me.
hmmm......true
Its more of a continuing comparison rather than a definitive conclusion derived from one result. However, the fact that they both are playing in the same conditions makes comparison easier.
I completely disagree as they aren't bowling to the same batsmen, nor does outbowling someone in one set of conditions mean you'll outbowl them in another set.
Not really over prioritizing this one series. Just consider it a more valid comparison when they are bowing together than when they are in different series in different conditions. Atleast thats my opinion.
That's not the point though - the fact they're playing in the same conditions makes direct comparisons much easier, as you don't have to compensate for all the **** you have to when you try and compare series that happen six months apart on different continents
Might as well have been on different continents the way England batted.
Haha, dude, you're chatting ****.
