Lost to England, Won against Australia. Real surprise!

My friend England is the 2nd team in world ranking after South Africa. They deserved that win. Australia certainly going through a transition phase. And believe me when India plays in South Africa at the end of this year they will lose.Do not put them on your shoulders and keep chanting.

The difference is Ravindra Jadeja :) India hasn't lost any test match since he is included in the side. other than this, poor show against spin by Australian team. English team did far better than Australia against spin attack. Hope they don't recover from here....

I think it is as much a comment on this Aussie side as it is on the Indian side. Hardly have I seen an Aussie side that lacks fight as this one. They have not really dominated two sessions in a row in two test matches. Also in both the matches there were nearly beaten by an innings. In the first test they avoided it thanks to the last wicket partnership!! Cheers! Ram

I think saying England is not as good as Australia currently is being way too harsh on the England squad. They are certainly in very good form and quickly rectified the mistakes made in the first test to bounce back in the series. It probably caught India by surprise. In case of Australia, they are in a rut currently and our bowlers seem to have regained some confidence which is adding to the Aussies' woes. It is surprising though that we we crumbled so badly against England. Maybe the the experience has helped the team to come back stronger and hopefully it'll continue.

That's the game of cricket. In my opinion, at present conditions Australia is not a good team but at the same time England is. That's why India lost to England. Australia is having most of their players inexperienced. They are new and almost 80% of the team are coming for the first time. Only Clarke is the most experienced player in their squad and we saw minimum one player will be a debutante. I would say India a won the test match not because India played well but Australia didn't played up to their reputation.

Slowly and steadily young uns will start making runs atleast in India. England team come here with a purpose. Their sole aim is to win against us. They have world class spinners in swann and panesar. If any one was playing India would have tackle but when both were bowling in tandem, India too find its hard to handle them. So the moral of the story, you need atleast two excellent spinners in your team if you want to beat India in India. Also you batting also have to be extremely good.

It's a simple answer and two reasons, England is stronger enough than India & Aus. also a balanced team of experience and best players and the other one is Aus. team looks like NEW BORN team from inexperienced department in Indian subcontinent also team India suddenly back in to their real form.

no Austrila team is to weak team in test cricket there rank in icc test ranking it is growing side with lot of young players and senior who retried from the team big players like hayden,langer,shane warne,pointing,hussey it well recover soon i think england team is more with bat and bowl also no compression for england and aussies
