Interesting first question. Since 2003 I can't remember us losing a series we were ahead in.On the other hand though, when did we last go on to lose a series that we led? Can't remember.
We've drawn a few, obviously.
Celebrating a victory and labelling your team the best in the world does not fit those definitions.
Awful parenting. I'd ground my kids for a year if they so much as applauded a shot from those ****s

Maybe at home to NZ in 1999?
But I was only pointing out that India generally improve after a weak start over here. 2007 was a good example actually - they should have lost at Lord's but went on to win the series reasonably comfortably. And given that we want to win the series rather than avoid defeat ....

No far enough. I'd disown them if they even mentioned in passing that they remotely liked a NYG player or play.

Oh aye, for sure.
The thing is though, had we won that first test in 2007, you have to assume the series plays out differently.
Not to say they wouldn't have gone on to win or draw it anyway, and they were the better team, but it's impossible to know.
Having immediately back-to-back Tests definitely helps us, as some have said. Chance to put the foot on their throat while they're still recovering.

They may well be true, but still left unsaid by an English commentator imo. Tempting fate and all that.

To be fair Nasser has only written exactly what he said on tv yesterday after the match. England were fully prepared and India looked a shambles at Taunton and carried some sloppy cricket on into the test match. He is right, now whether India are good enough to win the series despite giving up a 1-0 lead to a very good side remains to be seen but I am sure India could have prepared better for this series than they have done. Just look at the condition of Zaheer and Sreesanth as pointers to how badly it has gone.

Did my post break CW?
If so, I guess it's true. You really can't bash Sachin.
Wonder what you originally said
