We are not comparing Eng's away record to Ind's home record.
Comaprison should be between respective away records and home records and Ind is superior to both.

I think I based England being ahead on winning in NZ. Now that they haven't, I don't think they can claim to be.

You know I was literally thinking the same thing. If somehow, Australia wins the 3rd test ie a live test I'd say it's touch and go better the 3 sides. If they came back and drew, the 3 teams imo, would practically be level at least in my mind.

That would be a fun scenario. Then another draw in the Ashes to further complicate it.

A team is doing well . Then a person starts supporting that team . Then that team starts losing . Then that person is called Panauti
Panauti: One who brings bad luck

Maybe so, I need to become a complete neutral it seems. How unfortunate.

HB, Now that subz himself has accepted that India is better than England based on results, I think it is better to leave the topic that way instead of pouring salt into the wounds.

Even if I think India is better apparently I am still biased against them somehow

I still believe England are better than India . Overconfidence did them . England shouldn’t have enforced follow on .Even if I think India is better apparently I am still biased against them somehow
Whereas India have structural problem . Yesterday an England supporter on Twitter posted a stat that Crawley averages more than Kohli since 2020 . And imagine having 3 players like Kohli in your team ?

Agreed.

Definitely. They would have crushed NZ if they batted again.

No could haves or would haves please. The pitch got better as the days went on. Crucial breakthrough was the lucky one of Brook's run-out which changed the course of the chase.
Playing the would/could have game,
It is not a certainty that England would have won if they batted again. They could have got out to a sub 200 score and NZ could have then chased 400 against a tired England attack on a flat pitch on the fifth day.

England played well. The only thing that did them in was that stupid quick single.

How likely would England get out for a sub-200 score if the pitch was easier to bat on? England's attack would get a breather and then would take out NZ chasing a likely mountain.
England made a mistake in enforcing the follow-on and they should pay for it with not winning the series and having their ranking affected.
