Let's discuss it.

Yesterday we had a good batting day, we threw it away a bit though after starting so well.

Today, it's not going great, but i think we could do 'em in this innings.

And Ganguly?

Sehwag?

Dravid?

Yuvraj Singh ?

Mohammed Kaif?

Nice one. Now who have England got? Trescothwick, Peitersen and Flintoff. Everyone else in the team is overrated in batting terms.

Also, Harbajan Singh > Giles in terms of someone who can actually spin bowl.

India have some of the worlds best spinners, thanks to the pitches there.

Trouble is, inconsistency is second only to Englands with team performances.

On paper, India should be much better than they are. Sehwag is a phenominal player.

Yeah, it's kinda frustrating watching them sometimes, I was in India when they lost to Bangladesh in a one day match, and the next match in the series won with like 7/8 wickets to spare.

We didn't realise how bad the tsunami was tho, so when we got the news 'Bangladesh won the cricket, then got hit by a tsunami' we were all like :lol:, then when we got home and watched the news it was like :upset: :upset: :upset:

Also, Inda are only a few points behind England in the ICC ODI AND Test Match rankings, with England second and India third in Test, and England 6th and India 7th in One Day.

Part of the reason I want Australia to win is so that if we (India) win our next Test Series against whoever, we'll overtake England :D

England-India will be interesting

England will win it in similar fashion to the recent one, but when McGrath comes back England are going down :evil:

India IMO have the best batting line up around, although they rarely perform consistently.
