What will be the outcome of the England vs India Test series?

[Adijazz1706]

I may be mistaken but if i remember correctly India has 3 series wins when touring England ( 1971, 1986 , 2007)
I thought Pakistan had won a lot more series touring England.
But I only recall series wins in 1987 , 1992 and 1996 i.e 3 series wins.
Or did i get the stats wrong?
If stats are not wrong,both teams have been poor travelers to England. aint it?

India have never won a series in Australia nor have Pakistan, however India have been much better in Australia than Pakistan. Series wins are not the be all and end all

4-0 England

India 3, England 0

Would've been a complete whitewash if India had got enough time to prepare themselves for the series.

Despite huge issues India still has a good chance to win this

Anyone changed their mind? Do you see India coming back from this loss and batsmen finding some form?

India put up a really good fight for this test match, and really should have won it, 194 was a very chaseable score on this pitch. England bowled extremely well to get out of this second innings, it's tough when all four pacers are firing at home.

I don't think this England test side is very good, I think India is a better team. England have been helped by additions of Curran and Rashid who strengthen the batting a bit, which has and still is the weakness.

When Pakistan faced England in UK with Misbah at the helm, I thought we were the better team, we should have won. Azhar was in form, we had both YK and Misbah and we had Yasir Shah who was a real match winner that series (despite arguably not playing great in matches we lost). People were celebrating the draw, but honestly we looked stronger and played better in that series. Was a chance gone missing.

The recent Pakistan series, I feel both teams were rather weak (weaker than the last test series in UK before that), but England were probably favourites given it was home. So 1-1 was probably a fair result, in fact I'd arguably say Pakistan would be more chuffed with that.

Difficult to win out here though, as the home side, I expect England to net at least 1 win in next four tests.

Hence I'm going with a more realistic 2-2 from here out in. I expect India to bounce back, but realistically winning from this point would be very tough.

still 3-1 to india

India will win at Lords and Oval.

2-1 might not be the case as results will most likely come. So, 2-2 looks a fair result. Many questions will be raised on England team as well if they lose this series.

4-1 to England

It is possible, England is also struggling with their batting,. Curran's lower order heroics were the difference in this game.

so how was your forecast?
