England vs India 2018 Test series - Prediction Thread

[Kohli The King of Chase]

England are at their lowest. Their bowlers (Anderson and Broad) couldn't get the inexperienced Pak batsmen out, in early summer. And their batsmen, the least said the better.

We will be touring at the last part of the summer, Clouderson and Broad would be nullified, due to the weather and our experienced batting line up would easily post 400+

Coming to our bowling, Bhuvi and Bumrah would be able to do the damage in the first innings, whereas in the 2nd they will have no clue against Ashwin/ Jadeja/ Kuldeep.


The fact that it's a 5 match series helps, as we can get accitimalized to the conditions.

I predict 3 - 2 or 3 - 1 to us.

England are surely in for a thrashing by THE NO.1 TEAM.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

4-1 to England

 

[AssassinatedDevil]

Slow down Tiger. I'd be surprised if India can even win one test match, let alone the whole series. The Indian batting lineup will be nothing without Kohli, and we don't know if he will turn up this time or be Anderson's bunny yet again. Bowling is good, but not Pak level good.

 

[Amjid Javed]

India will have plenty of time to Acclimatize to UK conditions, also with series in 2nd half of summer conditions should suit them down to a tee. England are there for taking so i can see India win 3-2 or 3-1 as they ware england down as there confidence slow goes.

 

[Swashbuckler]

India to win 3-1.

 

[GoUgandaCranes]

Eng 0 - 5 India

 

[Bleedgreen4ever]

Anything other than a series win will be extremely disappointing

 

[athar330]

England 4 India 0

 

[Mr.Q]

Our batting lineup is full of match winners. That’s the trademark of the Indian team across formats. The problem in England would be the pace bowling. We don’t have the kinda pacers who consistently hit that full length and let the ball swing and seam. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the only bowler suited to such conditions. Shami and Bumrah are very good but they just don’t hit that length often enough. Hitting that good length/just short of a good length has earned the likes Shami plenty of wickets in the subcontinent but when we play in England it’d be a problem. Suddenly Cook will find it easier to play his favourite cut shot, Stokes will get the ideal length to play his favourite pull shot and Root will find it easier to tap the ball and run. Our pacers should figure out the right lengths to bowl.

Pakistan has the best bowling lineup to exploit the conditions in England. We don’t. And that’s a big difference. We have better spinners but the conditions and the pitch should be suitable. Our batsmen won’t find it easy either. Expect the pitches to be greener than the outfield.

But still, I expect us to win it 3-1 or 2-0 if we perform well as a team.

 

[TM Riddle]

2-1 to England.

 

[DRsohail]

india will win.

 

[BreadPakoda]

If VK, Shami and BK are fit, India have a good chance. All 3 are suffering from injuries/niggles at this time. Without their contribution India will lose.

Also India needs to play KL Rahul at the top. The current openers are new ball bunnies and that adds a lot of pressure for the middle order.

 

[Hasan123]

India should be disappointed if they don't win. I'll go with India winning the series 3-1.

 

[Fluke Master]

England to win 3-1

 

[kuskash]

ENG to win by 5-0, with at least 3 by an inning

 

[dauntless]

India stand no chance here. 5-0 or 4-1 phainty for India on it's way. India has lost 7 matches from 9 in england.

 

[Kaptan]

3-0 to India

 

[giri26]

It will be a close series and it will be 2-1 or 3-2 to one of the teams.

 

[Third_Umpire]

England 3-0. India don't have the bowling to win tests in England

 

[Oligochaetes]

England 3 : India 0

England will have enough practice playing Pakistan, that many guys will jump back in form.

Mark! My! Words!

And the fact that Virat got injured before his surrey stint is an omen of things to come!

 

[Asch Ali]

England 5-0

 

[Dagestani_Eagle]

3-1 England

 

[Send1983]

3-1 India.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Of Indian bowling was good enough to compete with and win a test against SA in SA, I think they can hold up well in England. Although I do think we will compete well but lose because our players will run out of gas playing 5 tests in England after running themselves into the ground during IPL.

 

[UN talkz]

3-2 to England

 

[Mueez]

3-1 England

 

[Syed1]

2-1 or 3-1 to England.


India doesn't have the batting for these conditions apart from Kohli.

 

[Syed1]

Also it is a disservice to keep calling this Pakistani batting line up "inexperienced". Azhar, Asad and Harry are as good if not better than any test bats that India have got (apart from Kohli). Also we had Shadab Khan and Fahim Ashraf coming in at 7 and 8.


India in their last test had Pandya and Bhuv Kumar coming in at 7 and 8. Two proper tailenders.

You do realize that Bhuvi hitcouple of fifties in England back in 2014 and Pandya played one of the best innings against Rabada Steyn morkel and philander on a green top in South Africa and you mean to say Asad and azhar are better than Vijay and Rahane, even Pujara is playing in county what has Harris done to be even compared by these guys especially Rahane.

 

[Bubby]

Bhuvi has played exceptionally well in South Africa too

Yeah man my bad Azhar and Asad cannot even wipe any Indian batsman's shoes. Doesn't matter that Azhar has a triple century and two double hundreds one of them being a 200 not out against Australia in Australia. He also has 11 other centuries all over the world. Also doesn't matter that Asad Shafiq has 11 centuries one of which is against Aus in Aus one against Eng in Eng and one against South Africa in South Africa. But who are they infront of batting legends from India who no one has even heard of outside of India.

Lol

 

[shokz1408]

3-2 India I think, failing that 3-2 England.

Azhar is the only test class batsman in Pakistan and that is a fact. The likes of Asad and Haris are total nobodies.

Wait, so these fellas named Asad and Haris are just as good as Rahane? What's next? Babar azam is the next Sachin?

 

[Cozyrensetter]

Right people overestimate our batting.We were 88-7 or something like that in both tests in SA and dont know how good will Ishant and Shami support Bhuvi

 

[Cozyrensetter]

I predict 3-1 to England

 

[Ab Fan]

2-2 or 3-2.

Very low chance of winning a 5 match series IMO. England have been losing many games lastly as well. Would come hard in their home conditions as well.

 

[Bubby]

What is asads avg in test matches 39 if I am not mistaken, while Rahane has a 44 avg Rahane has an excellent record outside Asia he too. Has performed exceptionally well outside Asia everywhere, azhar's triple was in uae by that logic even karun Nair has a triple, Rahane played one of the best knock at Lord's, he has exceptional record against Aus, Eng, NZ and southafrica where he played exceptionally well, even the likes of Vijay has been very good outside India so not sure why this comment.

 

[Darkrai]

Last time India visited England they lost 3-1. Two matches were brutal innings defeats, so much for the best batting lineup-more like single digit batting lineup it was. Lets just hope they don't embarrass themselves again.

Dude, you were whitewashed by SriLanka at your home.I mean Srilanka, a team whom we murdered at their own home for fun.Get that into your head before you hype up your tuk-tuks.

 

[Syed1]

Same way you were demolished by England at home a team that we smash at "home" and draw against away. Get that through your head.

 

[Bubby]

Well atleast that team was good with class acts like kp and cook,monty and swann ,we lost 2-1 ,not whitewashed by Lanka, what was the thread who will be first to beat Pakistan in its den and who would have thought that Lanka of all team not only beat pak but whitewashed them.

 

[kuskash]

Dude, you were whitewashed by SriLanka at your home.I mean Srilanka, a team whom we murdered at their own home for fun.Get that into your head before you hype up your tuk-tuks.

Really? When did SL whitewashed Pak in UAE? Oh, I remember.....

 

[Dingolfy]

Same way you were demolished by England at home a team that we smash at "home" and draw against away. Get that through your head.

Lol, that happened way back in 2012 ( even then we didn't get whitewashed)and after that we blanked them for 4-0 recently.

 

[kuskash]

Same way you were demolished by England at home a team that we smash at "home" and draw against away. Get that through your head.

Bhai, India whitewashed them by 4-0 in India, still living in 2012 fantasy where the result was 2-1 and not whitewash, good for you

 

[kuskash]

For us Pakistanis, we live in 1992, 2012 or 2017. Please do not talk to us if you want to talk about any other years’ cricket, peace

 

[Buffet]

2-1 series win for Eng.

 

[Send1983]

Same way you were demolished by England at home a team that we smash at "home" and draw against away. Get that through your head.

Lol. India whitewashed England last time they were in India. Randomly pick the test series for your own convenience? How about me picking up test series england won in Pak?

Lol at azhar and shafiq better than Indian batsmen. You slipped in Newbie Harris as well who has done nothing in international cricket against players like virat, Rahane, vijay and pujara.

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

India 3-2

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Don't know what the hype about haris is, he haswdone anything substantial in international cricket, rahane is a proven player, haris has potential but too early to compare with rahane who has a very good away record.

 

[kuskash]

Now he will not reply, now he will try to fit his agenda in different thread, very typical of him and few posters like him.

 

[Kaptan]

Mann!
The Pakistani bowlers have brought England batsmen back to form.

 

[Abdullah719]

4-1 to England

India stand no chance here. 5-0 or 4-1 phainty for India on it's way. India has lost 7 matches from 9 in england.

Correct predictions here.

 

[PerfectionPersonified]
