And if you're that worried about getting hit in the field, then you're not match fit imo.

Any ideas of how to toughen India up? Make them tour solely for a year? Take away IPL playing privileges?

What on those dustbowls you call pitches over there?

Get them playing some sheffield cricket more like it on some bouncy Gabba and WACA pitches.

I don't know if you're joking but that does have alot to do with why we've regressed for the last decade.

All our previous top batsmen played county, sachin for yorkshire, azhar derby, ganguly lancshire, and so on. Can't see how replacing that with ipl does any good to a batsman's technique going abroad.

We knew we were **** coming in, it was just a matter of how good England could make us look, and for that I still have a glimmer of hope.

India's consistency over the last two and a bit games has been remarkable.

I think you're being too harsh on yourself. At least one of your batters is playing well.

Seriously, all the other nations need to go a bit easier on India in Tests or the great game of Test cricket will die

Soon they will just go ahhh **** it, lets just play what we are good at, lollimited overs, and then all of a sudden the long game has lost half its $$$ and is well on its way to being deceased

We need Bill Gates or some mega rich cricket tragic to come in and give big financial incentive for playing the most pure form of the game and the one that requires the most skill

India could afford to just pay 11 of its best players to only play test cricket and the occasional 50 over game in lieu of the payments and endorsements available in IPLT20.

India should've just played the tests like ODI's.

We're never lasting more than 2 sessions no matter what, might as well make 250.

How can there be such a disparity between test and one-day matches? It's amazing.

Shows exactly why India and England both need 2 separate sides for different formats with different captains.
