Worst Team to Have Toured England in 10 Years?

[Poison]

Given the immense buildup, anticipation, big names, top 2 sides in world cricket fighting it out etc ... is this Indian side the worst touring side to England in 10 years?

Discuss :afridi

[Poison]

This thread may also function as the 'hahahahahaha' thread of old :ibutt

[James]

Not sure about worst, but worst-performing yes. Worst-performing since Bangladesh in 2005.

[duostyle]

Yes. I remember someone creating a thread for this series 2-3 months prior to its start, everyone – including me – was talking about how it’s going to be a close one, etc and Indians hyping it up as usual, then BAM! The numero uno turn up and play worse than minnows. The hell?

[Poison]

Easily the worst performing ... I was saying Pakistan played better as a bit of a joke earlier, but it's legitimately true now.

[Fireworks11]

The results speak for themselves, this Indian have been an utter shambles. I cannot recall a more toothless series of performances by a touring side here for quite a while.

England have steamrolled them in all departments so yes, probably the worst performing side for many years.

Quite astounding how this series has panned out after the incredible promise and hype. The Poms ruling the show.

[Poison]

Worst touring side for 200 years?

:fawad

[Fireworks11]

^ Worst touring side the game will ever witness?

:nehra

[DC]

Not the worst side, probably the worst performance after such big expectations.

[sully3]

after the build up yes this India team has been awful, lazy and uninterested.

Micheal Vaughan is a legend "This Indian team dosnt deserve test status" LOL

[saeed-sohail]

Worst performing team here since late 70s.

[akamaka]

worst performance in any form of sport. http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/1310/jonov.png

India....Hahahhahhahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahhaha hahahahhhahhahahahahhahaha.

Someone needs to bump that thread.

Would have to agree with you J.

Everyone besides Dravid and Praveen didn't even turn up. They could have sent an India A side and they'd have shown more fight.

[Poison]

Sadly I think that thread has been deleted ... but hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahhahahahahah nonetheless :asif

I suspect Tendulkar may show up for the last game and grab his 100 in the dead rubber, what a playa :sachin

[Poison]

Innings and 242 run loss.



:))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :))) :)))

[Saqs]

It seems Sachins 100th 100 may just become the new Bradman 99.96.

The tragic way he got out today is pointing to that happening.

[Ashraful_Rox]

India no doubt, even Bangladesh scored 300 +.

"If someone comes from Mars, I wouldn't say India is number 1" :holding

I think that single handedly destroyed the indians before they even set foot in england. :sachin

[Saqs]

Btw this reminds me of the Shastri Sohail battle pre-Mohali.

Give Pakistan 10 chances against India on a greentop (or non-Indian) pitch and we will take it 8 out of 10.

I'd say we would take em 10/10 now.

[Express Pace]

Sure they may have the worst bowling attack in cricket, but I thought batting was their strong suit. They have been bundled over in each test match, like a poor minnow side. India are the new Bangladesh.

Demi-gods

[90MPH]

They have been awful. Its not just about losing but the way you lose.

It all comes down to big egos and poor preparation. And Indian fans can keep defending IPL all they want but I have no doubt it played a part as well in this humiliation.

[dblock]

West Indies lost to England a few years ago. Difference there was nobody expected the side to do well, the conditions were very bowler friendly and West Indies at least scored big on a few occasions.

[sully3]

They don't deserve the test status awful team

[zains_rulez]

4th test still to come , 4-0 will be a good one for india :D

[Poison]

I forgot to mention that India are slow starters and maybe they will come good ..... :fawad

[Ashraful_Rox]

80 years of test cricket :facepalm:

[violet_may]

They will bounce back in home conditions :kapil

[NJamal]

Indians will win the 5th Test they are slow starters.

[KingKhanWC]

A pathetic outfit with no bottle and fight. Send these rockstars back to the circus in India.

They are the worst team because they don't even try, Banglaldesh would have faired better.

[AlizeeFan]

Worst performance of Indian team in last 25 years.

[kamal]

This is the most cowardly performace exhibited by a team that claims to be #1.

Choked India. Hahahahahahahahahahaahahahhahahahaha

[Ruri]

Worst touring side for 200 years?

:fawad

2007 Ashes, us.

Done.

They weren't the worst touring side in 10 years, let alone 200 ;)

Worst touring to England... NZ looked hopeless to if I remember.

[DeadlyVenom]

The players need to be lined up and beaten. Badly beaten.

[Watsupdoc]

Both Pakistan and India...

[Awesome_Username]

The players need to be lined up and beaten. Badly beaten.

I do believe that's what Strauss and co. have been doing for the last three weeks or so. Lining them up and beating them to a pulp.

[AZulfi]

Worst performing team for sure

Pakistan even with a depleted batting line-up (missing Misbah, Younis and Yousuf for various reasons incl. PCB politics) lost 3-1 against England in 2010 but that series was marred by the spot-fixing controversy and our players were in no mental state or shape to play the last test.

India on the otherhand go into the final test facing the very real prospect of an ignominious 4-0 whitewash. This is already India's worst away performance for 40 years.

[amirfanforlife]

I actually feel sorry for India...










:)) :))

[Phool]

very disappointing to see this kind of performance from the Indian team. I was expecting some good cricket but :(

[kkmix]

Not one Indian poster in this thread :)) ... never thought I would see this day. Well Done England, you not only humiliated them but you also saved PP from becoming IP. :))

Not really , i was expecting a thrashing at the hands of England. they are a vastly superior side and we have rarely done well on seaming wkts.

2007 Ashes, us.

Done.

I think 2007 Ashes and this India tour are about evens in terms of the scale of the defeats. The only difference being that England had a couple of good batting innings on that tour.

[Blitz]

Yes. Why?

1. India WERE No.1.
2. They have been beaten senseless.
3. It could be a 4-0 whitewash. A whitewash of 4-0 has only ever happened once in 150 years in England.
