Quadrant Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 I remember back in my young clubbing days in the 1990s, our England cricketers were the laughing stock of the nation. Now they have beaten India three times in a row to nick that top spot, and with a day to spare. This wasn't a beating, it was a total humilation and destruction of the former #1 Test side in the world: Third Test, Edgbaston (day four): India 224 & 244 v England 710-7 - England win by an innings and 242 runs http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/14516554.stm I really think the BBC should show live Twenty20 and Test cricket - we have a special team with a special aura and it should be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 England really are something special at the moment - they have well & truly taken India to school throughout the whole test series so far. They now have a squad with the potential to dominate for the next few years. The number 1 ranking is well deserved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 Excellent performance from an excellent team - I was supposed to be going today but alas we got the job done a day and a half early! While terrestrial coverage would be nice Sky's coverage of cricket is so far in advance that it would be a comedown watching the BBC cobble something together.
