Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]

The England national cricket team is coming to India to play a Test series against India. Indian national team has always been strong on Indian soil. England national cricket team is coming to India for a long Test series with India which will be extended from 25th January to 7th March.
The Test series between England and India will consist of five Test matches. A look at England's Test squad shows that many players in their team are new and inexperienced. England team is relatively weaker than India in this test series.

first test match is played between England and india in 25 January to Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. india team is favorite to win this match beacuse they have strong batting and bowling line and howe condition give more beneficial for indian team. England won the 50 matches against England and India won 31 matches and more than 50 games are draw so far in this test history. If England didn't take any pressure from India and enable to set huge total then thier chances of winning are high.

Current performance and conditions are completely favouring India for another win with most chances India will have spinners friendly pitches which will create problems for the England and now after having Brook out of the test series things are more difficult for them because he is match winner for them in all conditions with having very good record in subcontinent, but now their chances are down, and we have to check how they and their Buzz-Ball will work.

India already plays 2 test matches in South Africa, but England is having first series after the ODI world cup, so this is also going to have impact on their performance, hopefully we will have some quality and entertaining cricket from these both teams in this series.

Lots of test cricket for England in India. There will be five test matches and good thing is weather will be very much cold during that test series. It will be a tough task for England team keeping in view there current form and also its very difficult to beat India on there home ground.

Brook has an average of 62 in test and his absence will defiantly hurt England.

In my opinion, England is good side because England can face every difficult situation with calm. They are pressure handlers and they are are brave . England International test cricket team has brave bowlers and batsmans that are mentally very strong.In comparison, Indian International test cricket team is not mentally strong. Always,they lose big match. They lose World cup final in India. They have to commit that they are human and they can do mistakes but they should improve their batting and bowling. They are proudy people and they don't play in foreign leagues and they play mostly in India and they win in Indian but they lose in foreign countries. England can win first match of test series.

@Everyone here in the test cricket thread!

If you want to read some quality bullshit then please read @Compromise.

The Indian team didn't lose any test series at home for a decade and has yet to lose any test series in away condition since 2021-22 but we have to believe that they are inferior because they lost the WC finals.

Don't get me wrong, they can still lose the upcoming series as no one can predict the future but why talk nonsensical stuff without any reason? One must be smoking weed or have to be retarded to post such stuff with so much confidence. If these kinds of posts keep coming then I suppose this thread should die or must be locked for good because it's bad and hardly contributes to the dead cricketing community in this forum.

Well said. It's pretty clear that he is an anti-India dude who is spamming like a fool just to take care of his quota for the week.

One more important point shows his limited knowledge of test cricket along with all the points that you posted which is the fact that he considers England a strong team these days and India a weak team when the opposite is the truth.

Maybe you are right he is anti-Indian, but we still need to follow few rules and all can read and understand we are talking about test format, so please keep things on topic instead of writing shit which is not acceptable he is doing this all just because of post counting which is also not good.
I personally not like things like these and mentioned on these thread about relative topic talk but no one care about this all which is really shameful India lost the ODI world cup final it's all ended months back, and now we are talking about India vs England which is completely different topic hopefully they will understand and start talking about this all instead of doing this poor effort themselves in the future.

How do you understand and prove that if a team loses a final match, they are weaker than the other team?I think this is your misconception. Those who understand the game of cricket in this world, especially the people of all the countries of our Asian continent, may be aware of how strong India is in cricket.There are many big and powerful cricket teams in the world who fear to play any cricket match with India. India has some batsmen who are number one in the world and one of them is Sachin Tendulkar who is still number one among all the batsmen in the world. Although Sachin Tendulkar is a long time batsman but currently there are batsmen like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in the Indian cricket team who are consistently playing well and scoring centuries in almost most of the matches.

LOL.. agreed. The longer the format of the game, the more biased it becomes towards the stronger teams. India is the strongest cricket team at this point, and that dominance is very evident in test format. Australia can offer some competition to India, but there is a wide gap between these two teams in test format. Limited overs format involves a bit of luck as well. So even if India is the strongest team, it is not necessary that they win all the time. But giving performance in ODI as an excuse to mock the Indian test team is pure BS.

So, Kohli missing in action for the first two tests due to personal reasons is a big blow for India. I hope everything is alright with him and his family and that he joins the team from the third test match. Harry Brookes is also not playing the first three test games due to personal issues. I hope everything is okay with him too and it is still not clear that he will be part of the team in the last two games. Who is going to replace Kohli is a mystery as the team management has not named anyone, but I feel it should be Iyer. He is an aggressive batter that India has for test cricket after Rishab Panth and he can provide the depth that India needs.

snip~~

I am assuming that you have mixed up test cricket with ODI, they both are different forms of cricket and if you do not know about test cricket then do not comment. What do you mean by brave bowlers and batsman, it is not a war that they are going into with India.

Yes, with Virat Kohli missing the first two Test matches due to family reasons, the Indian team might be a bit weaker. We hope that Virat Kohli's family will be fine and he will rejoin the Indian team from the third Test match and give his brilliant batting performance.

Test format and ODI format are completely different and even the type of game is different. In Test format, the more time and patience the team bats at the crease, the more runs the team and its players can score. India are as strong as ever in the Test format. One thing we should all keep in mind is that India has played in the final of the Test Championship two years in a row. This proves how strong India is in Test format.

2 interesting tests about to start soon. We have West Indies vs Australia 2nd test which is only interesting to me because of the fact that the odds of Australia winning in many sportsbooks are great value.

Next, we have India vs England which is interesting considering the fact that England tends to perform the best in the test format, but the edge is with India.

Aus vs Windies would be another one sided contest and at best 4 day affair. I'd be surprise if it goes to 5th day.

Ind vs Eng is an interesting match up because of the sheer dominance of Indians at home but the BAZBALL mentality of England gives some hope and it could surprise us during this series, given Poms clicks with the bat.

Yeah, Australia vs West Indies is going to be three or four days contest due to quality difference and West Indies is having no depth in batting which give them some support even their bowling is much better.

India vs England is also going to be like one-sided for me because England is having always problem into facing spinners and this Hyderabad pitch is going to be turning which will create problems for them and most chances Bazball is not going to work for them like it works in other countries so most chances this match is also going to be ended quickly because things are not favourable for them specially after withdraw of Harry Brook.

West Indian International test cricket team is not that kind of team that can win against Australian International test cricket team. West Indian International team is suitable for only T20s. They are aggressive and aggressive player can't play in test matches because test cricket is a game of patience and Australian International test cricket team is best in all formats. They are hard workers and they work on their weaknesses.
Indian International test cricket team can win this match but match will be very interesting because England is also good side.

Yeah. Most probably. Am only interested in this match for betting purposes since it's easy money as long as rain doesn't interfere.

Bazball approach could help them, but what will help them more is the absence of the run machine. Both teams are missing key players like Brook and Kohli which will have a big impact on the series.

Brook is an amazing talent and so far he has done a wonderful job for England so it sucks that he had to leave.

Having said that, he's yet to bat in tough conditions. His fair amount of runs and majority of tons came against Pakistan when they toured there for 3 tests and we know how Rambo &ucked up in those historical series (Eng, Aus, NZ) by introducing flat decks. Also, Brook hasn't done any wonders in India be it IPL/ODI so the jury is still out if he's comfortable facing the likes of Jaddu-Ash-Axar-Kuldeep on spin tracks. It could've been an exciting contest for him as every visiting batter has to go through "Trial by spin" when they visit India.

[libert19]

Rajat Patidar has been named replacement for Kohli, nothing comes close to Kohli for his formidable presence on ground but Patidar is good choice IMO. On Englad side, Dan Lawrence has been named replacement for Harry Brook, never heard of Lawrence and not a fan of Brook from what little I've seen of him in IPL and in ODIWC.

He has been added to the squad but will he be part of the playing team? I guess not. There are more bowlers this time and they need a specialist batter which is why he got the opportunity. He made his ODI debut last year and I did not fins him that good or my expectation were to high for this guy. Frankly I am not sure why BCCI selection team takes ages to select players like him as he is already 30 now and might play a max of four years more.

True. He performed like crap in India so far, but that could have changed thanks to his recent surge in form. He is one of the few consistently good batsmen in the depressing England team these days.

Both are boring replacements. These are great opportunities for them though which they should try and use wisely.

Under Ben Stokes and McCullum's leadership, i won't use the "Depressing" for the Poms. For me, it's quite the opposite because they changed their gameplay style. Be it batting positively or setting awkward fields or unexpected inning declaration.

But yeah before these 2 gentlemen took charge, they were a depressing test team, barring Joe Root. 

Both are boring replacements. These are great opportunities for them though which they should try and use wisely.

I think recently Patidar scored 2 tons against England Lions (2-day warm up and 4-day first class match)

Two Test matches will be held on the 25th in which India and England will face each other in one Test and West Indies and Australia will face each other in the other Test.

India vs England
The Test series between England and India will consist of five Test matches with the first starting on 25th January i.e. tomorrow.There will be a lot of excitement in this match. We all know that India is a very strong team there is England and another strong team like them. But a sad news for the Indian team is that their best batsman Virat Kohli is not in their squad as he may not be able to participate in the first two Test matches due to family reasons. Virat Kohli's absence from the Indian team may create an additional opportunity for the England team.

West Indies vs Australia
There will be two Test matches between Australia and West Indies in the Test series between them in which one Test match has already been played with Australia winning.They have one more Test match left between them and if Australia wins this match, Australia will whitewash the West Indies in the Test series. And if the West Indies team wins this test match against Australia then this test series will be a draw of 1-1.
