Previous post you said India used to get thrashed regularly. Check this thread.
Factual? India used to get crushed away between 1987-2002. No dispute.
In this century, India has the 2nd best away record of all test playing nations and the best away team of the last 10 years!!
| Team | Mat | Won | Lost | Draw | ||
| Australia | 117 | 54 | 43 | 20 | 1.255 | |
| India | 131 | 46 | 51 | 34 | 0.901 | |
| South Africa | 101 | 35 | 39 | 27 | 0.897 | |
| England | 134 | 42 | 59 | 33 | 0.711 | |
| Pakistan | 106 | 36 | 55 | 15 | 0.654 | |
| Sri Lanka | 94 | 24 | 46 | 24 | 0.521 | |
| New Zealand | 82 | 17 | 44 | 21 | 0.386 | |
| Afghanistan | 4 | 1 | 3 | 0 | 0.333 | |
| West Indies | 103 | 15 | 67 | 21 | 0.223 | |
| Bangladesh | 65 | 6 | 55 | 4 | 0.109 | |
| Zimbabwe | 27 | 2 | 23 | 2 | 0.086 |
and regarding WI, India has not lost a single test in WI since 2002, while other teams have manged to lose decently against the depleting WI. India has owned WI at their home like Aus and SA.
| Team | Mat | Won | Lost | Tied | Draw | |
| Australia | 12 | 1 | 9 | 0 | 2 | 0.111 |
| South Africa | 14 | 1 | 8 | 0 | 5 | 0.125 |
| India | 20 | 2 | 8 | 0 | 10 | 0.25 |
| Pakistan | 9 | 4 | 5 | 0 | 0 | 0.8 |

| Bangladesh | 10 | 7 | 2 | 0 | 1 | 3.5 |
| Zimbabwe | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 | - |
What are you on? You have just endorsed my point, only away performances matter which is why you have brought up Pakistan's record in Australia.
I think this century has about 15 years of Pre-Bumrah and Shami era!!
Drawing a test series in any of the SENA nations is a remarkable feat for an asian team. Of course it's not as big as a win. BD did really well in NZ in 2023 to draw the series(1-1). Credit to them. But the other drawn series by BD (against SA, Eng & Aus) that u hv mentioned hv been on BD home soil (those were not away tours). You are mixing lot of things now. No one ever said that drawing a home test series should be considered an achievement.
Have I used the term or implied invincible?? Please tell me.
(Also Zimbabwe and Bangladesh, if we dont count 2 test series )
I had no idea South Africa won a series in India and this recently. Infact this is the first I have even heard of this series. Don't know why it doesn't get talked about enough. The other two series are fairly famous.
Its one of the reasons for Kallis being so famous in India.
So Aus winning in their home gets more points than India winning in their home? Atleast try to be less hypocritical..
A Home Track bully would suggest almost never win overseas and only at home. Even in the time period you quote India beat a Pak team away in Pak, butthen you will never consider that.
Oh right lol. That makes alot of sense actually. It's funny how that scandal has overshadowed that entire tour. Because winning a test series in India... even in 2000, was a massive achievement.
It was also a home series for Australia!!
Hell no, unless 2017 repeat happens where Fakhar does his magic. That's the issue with Pakistan, They only have one X factor and Pakistan is so poor at management that rather then focusing on making him consistent, they replaced him for an Impactless rizwan.
You witnessing means nothing,India were decent travellers before 8-0 as well
Yeah so because India is probably playing its best cricket it has ever in the last ten years, is somehow a suggestion that they are a home track bully? If anything they are just too good a team.
India does not need pitch assistance to beat any team, they showed that against England. The general and natural nature of pitches in India is to take spin, so I’m sure that’ll continue. They won’t go out of their way to produce green tops, that’s for sure.
Great achievement for Pakistan... it has been 3 days now! lol
Steyn played on green pitches that time when he took 6 fer and there were reports of him tampering with the ball. If bumrah had tampered balls he would average 10 every game.
What's the all time record? Must be west indies of 80s to early 90s and then india.
I think you are going to be surprised here unfortunately. Can't wait till kohli retires from odi.
This. I always felt the same way. Ashwin + Jadeja = 4 players. Add Jadeja the fielder 5 players. The value they bring to the side is immense. Irreplaceable match winners.
Name one team who had 50 home series winning streak? Or 15 (other than india)
That's very strange record for a side like Aus. To not win test series in Eng and Aus both in more than two decades.Australia at the gabbatoir? The very definition of home track bullies when they can't win a series in India for 21 years and England circa 20 years...
Looks a strong cadidate by having W/L near Afghanistan and BD when playing away despite doing very well at home.
