Pfft. What "facts"?

Cook would pass Sachins record if he played 7 tests a year in India.

Impact absolutely has the same margin of error - again, they did endless testing on both pitching the ball and hitting the stumps, using specially designed mats that registered the actual location the ball pitched. If you want to dispute that fact, read the article I posted above where he actively spoke about where the ball pitched being different according to the tracker versus what could be seen with naked eye.
You've got three decision points, all of which have demonstrable margin of error
1. Where the ball pitched.
2. Where the ball struck the batsman
3. The path the ball would take to reach the distance of the stumps.
All of the above has error margin based on regression coefficients that mean when the call is too close to be definitive, it shows as amber/umpires call.
So much ignorance around the DRS, it astounds me - you don't even need to be a statistical modeler to understand this one.

Probably not true. Main reason why I rate Dravid better in India is because he had to face Warne, Murali for his stats, among other spinners.

If India were serving these pitches up in those days, Dravid wouldn't have had that sort of success.
Harbhajan is a great case and point, actually had to beat batsmen with flight, drift and dip - not just waiting for the ball to do something odd.

Kohli needs to be fined.

Those were way worse. These pitches are mild as far as minefields go. Maybe except for a few ones that we served up to RSA. So he's even more impressive considering all that.

Spurious comparisons aside, Cook has actually moved into second place for most runs by a visiting batsman in India in this innings - still 300 behind the great Clive Lloyd so unlikely to reach him unless he tours again .

Oye Burgey Ashwin has started eating meat to be better at cricket.

Is that why India went from scoring repeated 500s in that era, versus finding ways to get themselves out to someone as bad as Adil Rashid in this one?

I don't know why you said it but those string of words are seldom out of place during a test match.

Surely he'll tour India again, he's probably got another 5 or so years left at least in Test Cricket, he's only 31 (almost 32)

What are you talking about? I am talking late 90s. Find me repeated 500+ scores from that time or run along now.

Minefields probably the reason we were terrible against Ali in England?
