Gosh, why do most of the discussions lead to insulting each other here? Mainly the reason for not posting much in this section.
Its just the attitude of some people who get overconfident when their trashy team performs good in 1 match out of 20 matches. That is what leads to the insulting.
Tbf, England are a solid Test unit. India are # 1 in the rankings, sure. But, I guess England start as favorites to take the Test series. They have been performing consistently for some time now. You're basing your discussion on how they panned in ODIs recently 'away'. This series is their 'home' series, this is Tests, the conditions favor them.
So, there actually is a reason for English fans to feel confident of their team.

Yes they are strong side and we all know that but when the word I highlighted becomes overly shown then the problem arrives.
If you can read then start out with my first post on this topic and you will see why I wrote what i wrote. This is what takes these arguements even further. Some people just want to be suck ups to some people and start defending them without knowing what is going on and without even knowing what they are saying. i advise you to read my first post and see why I wrote whatever I did then try to prove me wrong. good luck!
Don't tell me, Indian fans (we ourselves) don't go over the top. Actually, we're the most over reactive. Personal opinion, don't jump on me.Yes they are strong side and we all know that but when the word I highlighted becomes overly shown then the problem arrives.
First, I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong. Second, I'd appreciate if you could write without insults. Third, I can't go through the whole thread to find your first post. If you could link it...
There would be no insults here in the first place if people don't try to be suck ups to others. What you want me to do? link 2 pages here? my posts are based on whatever people wrote and how I reacted to them with my comments. You are not the only one who has to go back and read the older posts to know what is going on.

I still remember the comment made by Strauss when he said "We can beat India and day of the week." i would be laughing really hard if England loses even one match because then it will go against his statement therefore changing it to "We can beat India any day of the week except TODAY." one thing i see in this practice match is that some of these players in Somerset side seem more talented than some of those bloakers playing in England XI which include Pieterson and the master of six 6s, Stuart Broad. Also, you England supporters have the right to be over excited because this is the only time for you to be as you are playing at home and might be able to win the series 1-0 as you have the home advantage but as soon as you go play away series, you lose them 5-0 as happened in India.
I know what you mean. India just scrape a win against the West Indies and they think they're the best in the world.
Haven't lost test series in probably last 2 years and won the world cup 2011. This is enough to prove us number 1 but you jokers don't get it.
