The one day game over 50 overs didn't seem to affect it.
Certainly since the advent of t20, our batsman particularly just cannot adapt their game, or their minds to the long format.
They think a quick 70 at test level actually achieves something.

Winning a bit of knock about cricket will fool nobody , except those who don't want to see.

Like Anderson isn't young enough any more to play in all forms of the game

Most of the sub continental teams struggle overseas, most other teams struggle on the sub continent.
Was discussing Bradmans record with Hobo the other day. Only playing in Australia and England certainly helped him.

Always nice to see India lose.

Indian cricket fans are the most vile and irritating in any sport.

I'd take him in our middle order to be fair.
I remember watching Tendulkar on their 1990 tour here, first century was 119 at the oval. First memory of him was a stooping one handed catch in the outfield.
What a summer it was, 333 and all that.

I think Pujara is the better test batter tbh.

He was batting ahead of Tendulkar towards the end of his career so they must have rated him.
In terms of Kohli, whenever I see him he makes runs.
