    Is This India's Greatest Test Series Victory Overseas?

    Nah we were garbage. WI post '95, England, NZ etc. were nothing particularly special. Saying that we played fewer overseas series as well in that period, unsurprisingly boards were reluctant to invite us given how dire and boring we were.

    Is This India's Greatest Test Series Victory Overseas?

    We didn't even win a Test outside Asia between '87 and '02 or something like that (not counting Zimbabwe I think). Dark times.

    *Official* England in Sri Lanka 2021

    This is complete armchair psychology but even when SL had weak teams in the past they had a proud home record and seemed to be much harder to beat. This lot seem like they don't particularly care since they've got used to losing at home over the years.

    Border-Gavaskar Trophy all time XI

    Cummins in the first innings at Sydney was an incredible effort. Set up the match perfectly and he cannot be blamed for the failure of Lyon, Starc etc to chip in sufficiently to bowl India out, or Paine dropping catches. Was great at Brisbane as well.

    Border-Gavaskar Trophy all time XI

    Yeah you can argue for Cummins/Gillespie/Bumrah, all have strong cases. McGrath + any 2 of those would be great.

    Border-Gavaskar Trophy all time XI

    That's not good logic at all. I can't think of one Border Gavaskar Test Cummins has played where he's been mediocre or poor. Maybe Sydney 2019? Cummins vs Gillespie is very close though.

    4th Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, 15 - 19 Jan 2021

    Jadeja is at least as good as Stokes. Long may he remain underrated though.

    Is This India's Greatest Test Series Victory Overseas?

    It would have been better for us had more centuries been scored though. It wasn't like we were ever in a position to do declaration batting.

    Is This India's Greatest Test Series Victory Overseas?

    I can't think of a single ex-player (leave alone Indians, who barely have any such overseas victories in their careers) downplaying this. Everyone is gushing, it's such a wholesome and unbelievable turn of events.

    *Official* England in Sri Lanka 2021

    Dilruwan is so far over the hill that the hill isn't even visible from where he is. Can't they try some n00b mystery spinner that England has never heard of.

    The Inaugural World Test Championship

    We lost the toss and were put in to bat on pretty green tracks in both Tests in our last tour of NZ. In general yeah, NZ are strong enough at home that toss doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

    The Inaugural World Test Championship

    In general yeah, NZ are as good a touring side as Eng/Aus/Ind and perhaps better in turning conditions as their win in UAE proves. I'm speaking specifically of the WTC schedule though. Australia : England away, NZ home, Pakistan home, India home, SA away England : Australia home, SA away, WI...
