India won in 86 I think but beyond that?

Decent Indian 11 though

[HalloweenJack]

3-2 either way

No way India will win 3 tests in England. I think 4-1 England is a good bet.

I think it will be closer... 3-2 England

I personally think there is more chance of someone turning up to Highfields Manchester meet up than Indian winning 2 tests in the upcoming series.

Days of draws are over
Days of 5 day tests are over
The games don't last long enough for the pitch conditions to favour the Indian spinners as maybe they once would

Athey was average if were being kind at best
Chris was Robins older brother

He was only 34

There will only be a draw if it pisses down, which is quite possible

They can force results in 3 days

[oche balboa]

I'm in favour of 4 day tests or if tests finish early. some sort of friendly/charity match for the crowd who pay tickets to watch (Refund option still available)

Indeed and with England the result could go either way

It's true but I still think 4-1 is likely

[oche balboa]

Can't see England winning 4-1
