I never said they played good I know they played shit even for the limited preparation they had though thats mainly down to an ageing team they realistically should of been ousted after the England tour well Laxman and Sehwag should have anyway. The fact Rohit Sharma didnt play a test is a crime. There bowling was terrible. Zaheer Khan only bowled well when he waned to (Mitchell Johnson the second), Sharma was underdone and Yadav was terribly inconsistent. Praveen Kumar would of given them the consistency they needed. Gambhir hadnt played a test before is Austalia it showed, Sehwag cant bat full stop, Dravid is too old, Tendulker is terribly over rated, Laxman is too old. Theres your top 5 that really Tendulker is the only one that should of been there. With decent delectors they would of put up a decent fight with decent preparation

But the Indian selectors value the reputations of the senior Indian batsmen far too much to be willing to drop them/force them into retirement, just like the Australian selectors were last year with some of our senior boys (although it paid off in the long run). And I completely agree about Rohit Sharma, that's an absolute disgrace.

They were more keen you could tell that. Though 20/20 isnt a real sport so meh

Now you're saying 20/20 isn't a sport? It's a sport; it's called cricket...you ******* idiot lol.

20/20 is cricket? LOL righto buddy someone hasnt seen the glory years of the 80s and 90s.

HAHA moving forward HAHA funny guy. Test matches/test rivalries are shells of the classic West Indian v Australia and Pakistan v India. Now the only decent rivalry in international cricket is Australia v England which in 2005 and 2009 wound back the clock to the great series of years pass.

I love how you say cricket has moved forward you have no clue. State cricket boards are flat out broke and Cricket Australia arent doing great either. But yeah moving forward haha. Decades past you could go and watch a decent Sheffield Shield game. It may be better then 4 years ago but its still a shell of what a great comp it used to be. But you cant blame the players get 10 times as much money to have a couple of slogs or bowl 4 overs as opposed to playing actual cricket for 4 days.

But we get a larger audience in 3 hours than about 2 days.
