Which team is currently the best, in 2023?

[subshakerz]

Warner wouldn't have made any runs. He has only scored runs against Ind in 2011 and 2014 against really weak attacks. Has failed every time in India and failed in 2020-21 as well (And he was not out of form then, just didn't have the popgun Pakistani attack to make a 300 against).

Smith would have but again that was very high level bowling so hardly would have been a crazy averaging series.

The Adelaide 36 ao was the fluke, not India winning. India have been consistently making runs against the frontline Australian bowling attack in Australia.

Quite simple. You don't need to reimagine too much. Just look at the 2018/19 series and imagine Smith/Warner. The first test is close but goes to Australia. Second test is already Australia. Third test India and last test drawn.

Anyone who thinks that saltshakerz has anything other than the typical PP agenda of dissing India (which btw is amplified everytime India win and Pak lose) are really being idiotic. There has literally been no other posts of his in ages and the only time he showed up in match threads were when suddenly it looked like Aus were doing better at Delhi.

And as I have pointed out before, it would be easy enough to ignore if it was not on every ****ing page of every ****ing thread in CC.

I feel like I can imagine what I want

Why don’t you simply ignore him ? The problem is with Indian fans who continue to reply to his every post .

What if the results were the same even with Warner/Smith? Or what if India win at Perth and Sydney as well? Is that more unlikely? I wouldn't think so.

 

[subshakerz]

Naah, it is the insistent denial of the truth which suggest India is better.

Paksitanis have a "jilted ex" complex with regards to India.

Pakistanis have this complex with their country failing in all fronts (economy, sports etc) and India rising and becoming richer, excelling in more sports, having tech companies, transport infrastructure etc. If India is so strong and powerful and mighty, then Pakistan would look very tiny in comparison (Admitted by Pakistanis themselves).

And cricket, the one sport in which they could compete with India till recently being dominated by India both on and off the field. That hurts Pakistanis deep down.

So all this convoluted logic to obtain peace of mind.

Gotta say, except for Xix2565, none of you called out this trash piece of posting. Shame on you.

I don't mind anti-Pak jibes but I thought you all were above this level of gutter posting.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Haha yeah that's the worst post in the thread by far, which is saying something

 

[Socerer 01]

uhhh we got your back bro

Please lock this thread ?

two threads going down the drain on a lazy Sunday wew

there are radioactive waste dumps more inviting than this thread

Don't worry. Post reported. Hope others do that too (if they haven't already).

 

[ataraxia]

Yeah, how did this thread get worse

 

[Sunil1z]

No, we called to lock this thread . But you need to have last word on every matter on this forum. So continue replying to every post and imagining things .

Subs, I don’t think you have any anti-India bias, but logically it doesn’t make sense to say Ind can’t be the number one team because of their failure to tie/win in SA/NZ, and ignore the fact Eng have failed to tie/win in Aus/Wi/Ind(which are the two strongest opponents for Eng), or that Aus have failed to win in Ind/Eng/Sl. Then you can say we are talking bout Stokes’s team. But then again Rohit’s Ind hasnt played yet in SA/Eng/Aus etc. Beyond the fact that Ind has maintained the best home record in recent times, and that they won twice away against their toughest opponents and tied in Eng(and they were the better team for majority of the series, and were lacking their best bat in the fifth match), and also won in Sl/Wi/Ban, there is only speculation. Aus and Eng have much bigger holes in their records.

I've seen it and had a word.

 

[Sunil1z]

I mean if Indian Pakistani guys debate on anything for more than a hour , then that debate is bound to become garbage. Mods could have taken corrective measures earlier .

 

[Line and Length]

Eng aren’t getting ranked no.1 till they thrash Australia in Ashes . Ranking has lag that doesn’t mean you get ranked no.1 by beating no 5 and 6 sides away .

You need to beat top 2 sides to get huge points . Such simple things shouldn’t need explanation.

Surely beating the reigning WTC Champion counts for something.

 

[Godard]

Surely beating the reigning WTC Champion

Which is a significantly weaker team now

 

[Sunil1z]

Surely beating the reigning WTC Champion

WTC champion would get value only if it is atleast 3 match Test series . One off Test doesn’t make sense imo because many times Team play 1st test without warm up

Thanks was just concerned since even tho our chats gets heated, we usually dont let them descend to that level.

I dont. But you cant ignore when like I said, its on every ****ing page in every ****ing thread.
