Your general point is correct, my question was in reply to do Maria somehow convinced that you guys would have two world cups if not for Australia
Are you incapable of reading? Where did I say that?
Years of hiding, one trophy win later and the English fans are finally out in force. Forget about the past 30 years - the only thing that matters is Sunday.
This was what you said last Wednesday.
But now you're saying India aren't that good?
Christ, you've spoke some shite in this thread.
Gosh, you honestly need to learn to read. Its such a simply concept - i clearly said "may have".
He's got you there English fans. Why were you not posting in this thread in 1989? @Snowle Gunnar Solskjær @Summit
My apologies. Pakistan may have won every one of the last world cups if the other teams were not there.

Holy feck - is it possible that we over achieved? A team that had many flaws turned out to perform quite well?
Yeah, thats exactly what I said.
Well if we cant use a 46 day World Cup tournament winners as the criteria of who is best, maybe we can create an algorithm that measures past performances over a relevant time period. Let's call it the ODI rankings. Do me a favour and run the numbers on a spreadsheet and tell me who comes up tops?
Also, had England not been rubbish, they may also have won 3 WC's.
Had Bangladesh also gained independence in 1947, they may also have won 3 WC's.
Had China invented cricket, they may also have won 3 WC's.
I can go on.

You just said on the last page that winning the world cup isn't the only way to realise how good a team is . After Australia beat England me & some other England fans said that even if England didn't win the world cup then it wouldn't diminish the performances of the last 4 years and all of you laughed at it for days
I hate cricket. Was only in the thread for the lolzys. Couldn't leave once I seen how salty some people were

@Djemba-Djemba my first post where i stated my favourites based on conditions.
Its hard to debate on a forum where, unless you post a lecture, you can't get a point across.
I think you have done a really good job of winding up many English supporters here.
Theres no point. I'm not going to repeat myself.
No one said it would dimish Englands last four years but people did argue that winning was the cherry on top and without a WC to show, itd almost have been pointless.
They were literally banging on about how ICC tournaments are the only thing that matters, not ODI rankings or series performances over 4 years
You couldn't make this up.Sorry was too busy sucking on my mums boobies
The level of "Banter" in the last few pages has hit an all time low.

The part where you decided that winning a World Cup is the only measure to determine whether a team is good or not.
Really showing just how good I thought India were.
The words you're looking for are absolutely fecking stupid.
I agree to be honest. Some of the comments from Indian supporters on here really smack of arrogance - particularly as India were a joke themselves until 2011. Some of the comments after England lost to Sri Lanka and Australia were ridiculous.
Fact is India have got a couple of decent batsman and the rest are pretty average. All the best batsman in the IPL, bar those two, are foreign. They're going to have to find some new players and quickly if they want to start winning trophies consistently.
That means that you don't have to hit the stumps to stop the other team scoring more runs. Hit one of the batsmen and the balls dead.
I am intrigued to see who will be the next coach for India. I seriously hope they do not make another emotional decision and appoint Ganguly or some other ex legend. Apart from Dravid none of the ex legends have a genuine claim to be our coach. Mike Hesson would be someone who would really interest me. He had a very good stint with NZ helping them to reach 2015 finals. He is now coaching Kings 11 Punjab. Hope BCCI makes a good decision.
Exactly. You could just throw the ball at the batsman to prevent him from completing the run.
God damn. You guys are so fecking precious.
Funny coming from you. This was your comment after you lot lost to SL.
And you lost by a reasonable margin.
Yeah, I know. I watched the game.
I know I remember the tears.
When is the next England-India series? Already looking forward to the shithousery 
I don't remember crying in front of you?
You poured them out in the forum.
England are the best cricket team in the world. It’s a brilliant achievement.
Considering India has a population of 1.3 billion, and cricket is their number one sport. They should really win a lot more than they normally do.
It’s a bit embarrassing really. It looks like we’ll have to show them how to play it again in 2023.

Guess you can tell when someones crying over a game because of your experience?
Yeah. I'm a United fan.
A bit like England in Rugby.
Let's be honest the nation that can be most proud of its sporting clout is New Zealand. Less than 5million people with world-class sporting teams.
