Indian current triumphs are just a House of Cards like the US fiat money infront of the Gold Standard

[jnaveen1980]

Thanks plus even Misbah old XIs made a draw against England and that too with their best side (after Strauss one) in decades and that too in 4 match series. @jnaveen1980

Draw is not win. They hve lost 1 that too 2 tests series in 12 years. This bazball unit wins a lot more than the unit before. They are much harder to beat at home. Only because of Rain Australia saved the Ashes. They blanked you in your backyard. They also ran you ragged even after you scored 500. You had to resort to industrial fans to win against them. On flat wickets they are still a side to beat.

What squads should i compare? Root has more centuries than entire Indian team combined.

Lol wasn't he the same Root in India last year, 4-1

How can I forget you mate, lol still remember your premature series triumph after 2nd Test

What was my triumph? Pray do tell. Also this triumphant thread of yours is after India actually won 2 ICC trophies and PAK got kicked out in first round .

We are at least competing in a SENA Test series. .

Not losing T20Is to Bangladesh

Yea. But this is his home turf. They know how to play here. They know how to use DUke here. Many of the INdians never toured there. Akash deep for the first time even played in England. Took 10fer.

 

[captain.hansolo]

Only time will tell who is right, I am not infallible too. And I repeat India can hardly win a long format tournament unless they don't temper with schedules and cherrypick locations for their knock out games.

WTC cycle schedules and recent ODI events schedule a manifestation of it.

Let’s set a metric: you posted this in march 2025 and referenced the CWC from 2023.

I say let’s aggregate the win/loss of India since the start of the CWC 2023 and also since the date this post was created. Then evaluate in say six months. Thus on December 31st 2025, let’s examine the win loss numbers. I expect it to be 75% in favor of India.

That’s the point bruv that you don’t get: experienced, consistent and top performers are humbled in India. Or against India.

Very well, then what was Tendulkar's haughty statement of 3-1 and Gill's gaffe of beating the favorite side 5-0 and not to mention my best friend's 4-1 claim

Sure but let's focus on ODI series in SENA then and that too against their full strength sides...That is the point of OP

Where is this coming from. None of the fans expected to beat England as it is a completely brand new unit in ages apart from a few player. Even in ICC rankings India is one position below England. It is their home turf.

India never fields full strength either. duh?

This is INdia's world cup record since 2010. It is opposite of house of cards. Since you have an issue with India winning a couple of silverwares take a look at this stat. They have been the most consistent team in world cups for more than a decade with a W/L ratio of 6.2.

2011 - India
2015 - Australia
2019 - England
2023 - India

They did well in every world cup venues

Plz read the OP again if you missed my point.

All praise to God Almighty, proven right again....big slap on the face of clown who got triggered by this thread of mine. Any way one condition still unfulfilled, Eng didn't play with their first tier side especially when it came to bowling.

England still won't make big changes so a chance of face saving by India to draw the series at their most favorable English venue.

Are you really chest thumping about a tough overseas series played by a really young team with a first time, young captain, with closely fought matches, where score line reads 2-1 with one test to go? Come on, you can do better than that

didn't think anyone can top thread listing the number days since Indian overseas wins in terms of loserdom. Atheist brain is proving me wrong.

Lets see if @Saj comes back to claim his throne

There should be a thread for Pakistan now since they haven't won a match since 2018 in SENA.
