***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[Dan_M_Bali]

They lost to Bangladesh... that's not a bad series, that's a "Holy ****, that's the first side in the Top 6 to ever lose a test, let alone series to Bangladesh"

Bangladesh would hammer NZ and Aus on those tracks.

Bangladesh will beat most teams in Test match at home, if they aren't too chicken **** to tour

Losing to India in India is one thing, losing to Bangladesh requires you to pick players like Gareth Batty and think he's honestly going to make a difference.. NZ also drew the series in UAE against Pakistan when they still had Ajmal, and drew the last series in Sri Lanka when Sri Lanka were still a force.

England got caught out by bad selection tendencies against a side that shouldn't beat anyone in their position.

We won the test that Batty played so you are making a bigger fool of yourself than usual. That is some effort.

That's pretty rich though; England hasn't exactly been touring Bangladesh or letting them tour frequently when compared to sides like NZ.

That doesn't change the fact that he should never be selected for England, nor should half the guys that contributed to losing a test there. You should also keep in mind that England scraped the first test by 22 runs and should really have lost it.

I'd regard losing to Bangladesh at home same as losing to West Indies or Sri Lanka. You need to watch more cricket not involving New Zealand bud

 

[Gnske]

Glad to see Karun Nair making his debut, like the cut of his jib.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Believe in buttler

No one loses to West Indies, away or home.
No one loses to Bangladesh, away or home.
Sri Lanka at home with Herath are still a tough side.

England have played Bangladesh as much as New Zealand have. Facts aren't your strong point are they?

 

[fredfertang]

Buttler really shouldn't try and bat like Hameed

Is he Rafa Benitez?

NZ have played an additional test against them and have further tests scheduled there, they've also played more in Bangladesh than England has.

They've also never lost to them in Test Cricket.

England have played 10, New Zealand have played 11. My error missed the sole Test in NZ. So NZ don't play them considerably more at all

I believe their best bowler and England's destroyer-in-chief was on debut.

 

[Blocky]

England have played 10, New Zealand have played 9. You literally can't even count

Actually,

New Zealand have played 11, England only 10.

Can you count?
