A few more overseas series wins and they might be right up there.

 

[ataraxia]

NZ should be a cracker of a series for India.

Mate this Bangladesh team is pretty goddamn rubbish though

Mate AUS played 4 consecutive test against ZIM and BAN in 2003 in AUS. Now please don't tell me SA and BAN in 2019 are worse than ZIM and BAN of 2003 .

All that tells me is this India is better at smashing minnows in favourable home conditions.

I just don't see how it was relevant to the conversation

Yes SA are certainly minnows now .

It was relevant because many teams have played weaker teams at home . It is not India's fault that those teams couldn't do the job .

SA are proxy-minnows terrible in subcontinental conditions. So effectively they are.

So I was responding to a guy saying 4 straight innings victories was the record of all records - I assume he was referring to the 16 straight wins record which is usually held up as the Australian test team's best record. So I don't get what 2003 matches have to do with anything

 

[honestbharani]

I think it was obvious CA was saying that this was the best of all the records that this Indian team has achieved recently, as it shows a level of dominance over 4 tests not achieved even by the greatest test teams of all time irrespective of conditions, opponents etc. I really don't see what is so wrong with that sentiment.

Oh okay well I don't think it was that obvious his post was referring to recent Indian history tbh. Anyway I wasn't trying to start a 3 front argument with my comment

Thanks HB. Your post elaborated mine quite clearly. MM, yes I didn't mean anything offensive. Just happy about what the current Indian team is doing.

Then he is clearly wrong . There was no need from your side to denigrate the record by stating that BAN team is barely of shield standard. Lots of statistical record would become meaningless if we start applying context to it .

All good mate didn't think you were being offensive

Hyperbole to make a point. Chill out for once

 

[ataraxia]

Hayden

Bit of a gulf in class, ain't there?

 

[honestbharani]

Could have said the same about that side circa 2002 Vs the Great Windies side of the 80s too.

 

[jimmy101]

Hussey & Steve Waugh never played together in Tests.

 

[ataraxia]

Saha/Gilchrist is the decider IMO.

 

[ataraxia]

Hussey & Steve Waugh never played together in Tests.

Sorry. Clarke or M Waugh in then.
