Beating West I...I'd certainly like to think so. Beating West Indies in West Indies shouldn't be too much of a trouble now.<br /><br />But my concern is that India play the first Test against England just about 10 days after finishing their last Test against West Indies. No practice games once again. There will be a 3-day practice fixture in the interim. I just hope this rush from one continent to another and the long span of time away from home does not hinder Team India.<br /><br />Incidentally, I just stumbled upon the fact that the England v India 1st Test at Lord's (21-25 July 2011) shall be the 2000th Test match in the history of cricket. Fitting, isn't it?

India's two previous tours of Australia (2003-04 and 2007-08) were occasions when Australia played without McGrath and Warne. So in effect, the Australian team that India faced was not that very superior from the Australian team that English are taming right now. They were still great... but not a whole lot greater.<br /><br />In this context, India's tour of England becomes very pivotal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16733104559445244259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8645282373545856222.post-68878928631918344582011-01-01T20:48:41.756+05:302011-01-01T20:48:41.756+05:30Beating Australia in Australia matters only so muc...Beating Australia in Australia matters only so much as the points on offer.<br /><br />For legitimacy of the #1 rank, I feel England can't ask of India to beat Australia.<br /><br />While Australia was a strong team, it made sense.
