18 months back we went to England as World No 1s. We got thrashed 4-0. We went to Australia later in the year and got thrashed 4-0. Our only wins have been against below standard West Indian and Kiwi sides - and that too at home. And now we are already dreaming of beating the English 2-0 and climbing to no 3 on the ICC ranikngs. Come on ... have some shame before publishing such reports.

Dear, agree with most of what you say. But it is not difficult to win on our home pitches (same case with other teams as well)..... Dint we see India win all 5 ODIs against England in Oct 2011? As Stewart said yesterday, India should win the series comfortably.
Anyway, there is nothing wrong in dreaming big. The players seem to have got enough rest this year.
test tests the ability of the player and team, all decent internal teams are actually capable and equal so the ranking will be a round robin..everyteam will win the series in their home coz everyone will be at their best at home.
