I swear KFC or Burger King introduced a Chicken Legacy Burger....maybe that’s what Shastri is referring too?

I would take a score of 36 against the number 1 ranked team in the world over losing a Test to the lowest ranked team of your era that only won 2 Tests in the entire decade.

)... must be what Shastri was talking about... although he is probably a vegetarian so I'm not sure

You were born in the 90s.
Yet another opinion based on highlights of your team on the back of zero context.
India performed better in the last series because Australia didnt have Warner/Smith and players were out due to injury. This is a nice wake up call for the overrated rockstars and it will takeaway their horribly arrogant attitude. A lesson In humility for Kohli and his prima Donna's![]()

Mamoon’s post after Pakistan lost to Australia in the first test last year.![]()

I am talking about how biased you are. If India plays poorly it was because of the Aussie might.Yeah so? Are you putting Pakistan and India on an equal footing?
Put your heart in your hand and tell me that you wouldn't have had a go against Pakistan if they had been bowled out for 36 against Australia?
India plays poorly - mamoon says “ah it was the mighty Aussies”
Pakistan plays poorly - mamoon says “we are a shame to humanity and deserve this”

If Pakistan does bad, they dont deserve place on planet earth.
Kholi may have taken over Imran as captain according to you but as a player Imran is miles ahead.
Do you realise that pakistan has won 7 tests in Sena compared to India's 5, even SRL has won 6.Yeah so? Are you putting Pakistan and India on an equal footing?

Out of the last 35 or so tests the asian sides have played in Sena according to cricviz.
Explain that stat.
No problem , they will win in Indian movies.
Legacy starring Ranvir Singh as Virat Kohli
India is a grade better than the current Pakistan team and there is nobody doubting that. But it laughable that you are giving India A’s all along. Have you checked India’s overseas record in the last decade?Of course I would. Do you want me to treat both teams equally when one team is far ahead of the other?
Pakistan is that student that always gets Cs and Ds in every exam.
India is that student who regularly gets As and ** but one day happened to fail an exam.
Who do you think deserves more criticism? Pakistan or India?
And you dont have sympathy whatsoever for Pakistan who didnt play an international match at home for a very very long time. You dont appreciate that it also contributed to the downfall.
You have also start working on my idea. ��

Pakistan fans already know how bad our team is, but the problem is that in every thread that relates to India’s performance you talk about Pakistan and Pakistan’s flukes throughout the 90s decade.
You need to focus on each thread fairly. If you dont have the guts to criticise India then why even bother commenting on such threads.
That stat doesn’t mean anything. Cricket is not played in SENA only. How many days have India spent as number 1 in the previous decade and how many days have Pakistan spent as number 1?
Moreover, what has been the average ranking of India in the decade and what has been the average ranking of Pakistan?
If you take out Kohli, they will start losing at home too. The best Asian team ever has two match winners in Kohli and Bumrah.A few of our friends suffering from PTSD.
It will pass but for the moment know this, India side as it stands today is pretty meek and useless outside their home.
Best Asian team ever? The best ever has Kohli, Bumrah and to some extent Ashwin worth mentioning.
In the most recent decade where Pakistan were playing at home and with a more than decent batting line-up - the 2000s - they still lost to England, India, South Africa and Sri Lanka, the latter multiple times.
The UAE was far friendlier to Pakistan in comparison, especially under Misbah. It was only in the latter part of the decade when they started shelling tests to West Indies and series to New Zealand.
Pujara is a brilliant Test batsman. One of the very best in his mould. If it wasn’t for Dravid or Gavaskar, he would walk into an all-time XI as a rock at number 3 or as an opener.
Ashwin is one of the best off-spinners of the last 30 odd years.
Jadeja is also one of the best SLA of the last 30 odd years.
This team has five brilliant cricketers with 3-4 very good players.
It doesn’t matter when I was born. 90’s, 80’s, 60’s or the 17th century. The fact is that Imran’s Pakistan were one of the two teams to lose a Test match to Sri Lanka, the weakest team of the 1980s by a huge margin.
Just like it is a fact that Kohli is the most successful Asian Test captain ever (33 wins) and also happens to have been the captain when India lowest total ever (today).
“Context” is always subjective and applied conveniently to push a particular point of view. Pakistani fans do not want to acknowledge the fact that Imran’s Pakistan became one of the two teams to lose to Sri Lanka in the 80s so they use “context” to justify or defend that fact just like they use “context” to dismiss Kohli’s record breaking 33 Test wins.
Just remember this number: 36.
You can have the best batsman in stats etc but when you cannot produce 36 as a team then there is a problem.
Either you dont put a premium on your wicket or you dont have the skills.
What are you going to claim next? How life was was when your country India was partition in 1947 and you experienced the hardship and torment? Or how you lived in the UK during WW2 and the blitz?
Context is everything. C19 would have zero context if you as a - cough cough - doctor were not handing out face masks.
As I said, context is applied subjectively. A lot of people think COVID is a hoax or is overblown, and they come up with their own justifications. However, that doesn’t change the fact that COVID is real.
Similarly, Pakistani can can brush the defeat in Sri Lanka in 85 under the carpet and come with all the excuses and justifications, but it will not change the fact that only 2 teams lost to Sri Lanka in the entire decade and Pakistan was one of them.

And the same Sri Lankan side was drawing tests in Australia and other top countries. And I think beat india too. So it certainly wasn’t some ‘chalti phirti’ team equivalent to a 2000s Bangladesh. Anyways carry on with the whataboutism

Sri Lanka beat India in 1985 who were not only the World Cup holders but had won the World Championship of Cricket in Australia.
It wasn't an understrength side either. Both Gavaskar and Kapil played, so I don't know know where Mamoon is going with that comparison. That 80s SL team was weakest of that era but still a mile ahead of Bangladesh in 90s/00s or Zimbabwe of 00s/10s.
It is stupidity to compare an all-rounder with a batsman or a bowler. If we do that than every great all-rounder will be miles ahead as a player compared to a specialist batsman or bowler.
India has no legacy.It is ridiculous to compare India with the West Indies of late 70s/80s or Australia team of late 90s
Wow. That’s pretty harsh for a team that won against pretty much the same bowling side the last time they were in Aus. Also, this useless team had just bullied the Aussies the previous day and were tipped 60-40 to win the game (words of Aussie commentators before start of play).It will pass but for the moment know this, India side as it stands today is pretty meek and useless outside their home.

As a cricketer imran is miles ahead of kholi take it what way you want i am just stating a fact. Its not a stupid as 36 for 9 shouldn't be in records due to the 10th wicket not falling even more embarrassing that they fractured his arm.

Let’s put it this way. Imran won’t make any ATG list. Kohli will in ODIs. And might in tests by the time he retires.
I think the only thing Pakistanis will be left with is:
Kohli will never become PM of his country![]()
ROFL. Their overseas record says it all.5 wins in 36 matches.What kind of pathetic team is this.HTBs with doctored pitches.
Indian team from 2006-11, England team from 2009-13 and South African team from 2008-14 are better than the current Indian team.
I wonder how the current teams of south Africa or England would have fared on this pitch.
Probably wouldn't be 36 all out
Forget the teams of the past
Yes and a lot better. Current Indian team's with current aussies side.
Won't say lot better because current Indian team are unbeatable at home and they win one games overseas in every country.

Current India would humiliate all of them at home.

And will get humiliated by all of them away.
The GOAT Asian Test team. Amazing mentality.
No one thought they could fight back after Adelaide nightmare right away that too with Kohli.
The GOAT Asian Test captain has instilled a fighting spirit and competitive mentality in this Indian team that they can carry on even without his presence.
He has changed Indian cricket forever.
Also, drunkard Shastri is a proper motivator. A couple of pints and he can get the juices flowing in his players. His role must not be underestimated.

)You mean the captain that tucked tail and ran at the first sign of trouble back to the missus?
I wouldnt give the guy too much credit for this buddy. First let him learn how to wear the pants in his own house then you can call him a goat or ****** punjoo or whatever.)
Some maybe on BCCI payroll just like Ravi was when he was a commentator.
No other explanation to act so childish ��

We have way too many Indian fans on this forum. Some even pretend to be Pak cricket fans just to wind us up. Sad...

His departure was predetermined. It was known for months that he would go home after the 1st Test. The result had zero bearing on his decision.
Anyway, you can carry on. I can sense your disappointment and frustration. How does it feel to win Test matches in Australia? No young Pakistani fan knows.
Speaking of childish, that is what our fans and media acted like after Adelaide. They were ready to do bhangra again after Melbourne but they have had a shock of their lives.
