12 years of dominance and 18 no's of unbeaten series win , not a joke. Someday it should end .
Tbh we should be wiping the floor with them in a comfortable 3-0 whitewash , as long as rain stays away.
Don't remember them winning a game in India Lt alone series. India vs lanka in lank in a few years will be interesting. Still India 1 0 or 2 0 though
Even best version of pak atg won't beat India in India under kohli or rohig.Honestly only Pakistan has the capability to beat India in India.
A) Historically they have got a good record in bilateral tours in India.
B) A series with Pakistan meaning our boys will not be able to play as freely as they do with other teams. There is constantly media pressure and pressure to perform well. It will curb the natural instinct of our players.
C) Pakistani bowlers will also utilize SG ball better in getting reverse swing.
So I think only Pakistan can beat us back home. However, we won't play them...so nneed to worry
Not Eng, their GOAT team of 2012 was a one off. Oz more likely.
Well you know why we can't.
Pakistan can't even win a test against Bangladesh and peoples are thinking they can beat india in india
Would love a series but we all know why it won't happen.
They still think they will be facing kuruvilla, debashish mohnaty and venky prasad and the ilk.
Nobody thought that Pakistan would beat india in 2021 but we did NO????
Saying stuff is easy brother.
Impossible to win Test matches with the bowlers you have.
And these are good venues for a team like NZ. Bangalore and Pune are good batting surfaces and Wankhede has enough bounce and does favour conventional swing and seam bowlers.
We are talking about test cricket .in T20 cricket one -two good over can change the game but to win the test matches or series its very hard .
for the same reason people are saying this,
Come brother. Come play. Lets go. Would love an Indo-pak series on a neutral venue. What is stopping you/??
Your forgein policy is stopping for playing cricket with Pakistan
Also shoaib akthar and ptv media wins either way win or lose.
Definitely they should try it. Not a bad idea .
We dont want to face minnow bowlers and boost our averages.
ok brother. You can say whatever you want and can think whatever you like but saying stuff is easy. You never know
Cant be a World XI when no Windies, BD or NZ participation in it, not to say no Babar, hai tobba
It's probably 3-4 years away. Will need the retirement of both Jadeja and Ashwin as well as the diminishing of Bumrah's powers. Batters can come and go.
Thought you didn't care about cricket anymore after getting an Olympic gold.
Agreed. Smashing PAK by an innings in all Tests would be the target. Anything else would be disappointing
Since india got 6 gold medals in chess olympiad and made him proud , he may have got a reason to watch cricket again
you are living up to your user name. SriLanka is yet to win a test match in India. Their greatest team, with the likes of Jayawardane, Murali, Sangakara, Jayasurya, Dilshan, Vaas, etc never tasted a single test match victory in India. It can happen in the future, but losing a series to them is difficult. I can see, Australia, England beating us in a short 2-1 series win once Ash and Jaddu fade away
you cared enough to comment
And shami
technically, the two icc events that India won were before Arshad won his gold.
Srilanka has never won a test in India with all their legends Murali, Vaas etc etc. might be possible though.
good to see you keep up with other sports too or maybe this is the only one you remember.technically, the two icc events that India won were before Arshad won his gold.
so my claim matches the time line.
I agree. A think tank lead by Riz can put the cat amongst the pigeons.Honestly only Pakistan has the capability to beat India in India.
A) Historically they have got a good record in bilateral tours in India.
B) A series with Pakistan meaning our boys will not be able to play as freely as they do with other teams. There is constantly media pressure and pressure to perform well. It will curb the natural instinct of our players.

TBH Pakistan cricket flourishes at its best without a think tank
Funny he doesnt think of them as JAMTS
No longer good memories of Kanpur alas for those who dabble in sweep shots.small mercies I suppose
I was factoring in D1 to be kind, but then on hindsight we swept and shot canadian tiger dreams in less than 2 days.
Got to respect the guests, however illmannered their extended family might be. I am pleased ICT turned the tables so squarely that no East or Canadian Pakistani can mention that word without feeling shivers up their spine.
they way they played against SL they dont have even a chance.
As ridiculous as it seems I think SL has the best tools to defeat India at home. Good spinners and batters who can play spin well. NZ will have no chance sorry. They were beaten badly by SL and they are not going to do any better in India. Their best player has poor record in India.
Sri Lankan test Spinners are slower and Indian pitches demand more speed and accuracy like Jadeza. No chance for Srilanka at all. At best they can win a test and then India changes to a pace friendly venue.
Jadeja was their only for last match.ojha usedto accompany aswin,so it's a major upgrade in the batting.washed up Sehwag,gambhir, sachin did not contribute anything in that series .kohli too came to the party in the last match only
Sri Lanka have had the tendency to come as Dark Horses. I know many look at it as a ridiculous take but it's not really as ridiculous when one would think like you have you. Plus it's a bold prediction and I could see this happen down the years.
