to win handsomely in home conditions is not such a hard ask.. they are yet to prove themselves by winning an ODI world cup and a major test tournament away from home. Just one series victory is not enough data points to decide who is a lauging stock and who is not. You need to have some consistency. India had that consistency until they lost it recently. But that consisency was for a long long time. England are yet to show that they are as good.
However, when a scribe asked how it feels now that England have won more Tests in the last couple of years than they did throughout the 1980s, Strauss replied we didn't have match fixing those days, you see.
