Test cricket has become a joke
How many frick'n Test matches have India played at home the last 12 months?
How come they their pitches against other sub continent rivals are Roads that just inflate their batting averages but when they play Australia, England etc they are dustbowls?
Surely W Indies arnt worth of Test Status any more.
They are embarrassingly PATHETIC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[locky801]

Kolhi will probably get 300 this innings. SRI Lanka a joke, when Kohli came in yesterday their captain put 6 on the boundary.

Listening to the commentators they were of the belief that Sri Lanka weren't even trying to get wickets, just contain for as long as possible. Absolute joke

1st test in Kolkata was a seaming green top. India were rolled for about 170 but it ended in a draw with SL hanging on at 7/80 in their second dig. The Indian spinners failed to take a wicket for the game

[jackpot jim]

Sri Lanka and the Windies wouldn't beat a Shield in Aust atm, Even the Crapbacks on a bad day would still be too good for them both.
There should be a Top 6 division India, Aust, Eng, Pakistan, South Africa & NZ
With WI, SL, Bang, Zimbabwe and any other minnows that want to join but their stats are only counted as 1st class stats and NOT as Test cricket stats as they are severely devaluing the integrity of the game

Thats my point in part, When was the last time Aust played played on a seaming green top in India ? Aust could play on that same ground next week and it would be a dustbowl i bet.

Be careful what you wish for Jimmy. We are currently 5th in the rankings and only recently struggled to a 1-1 series draw against one of those “minnows”.
There are some real issues with cricket in Australia ATM and if things don’t change we could find ourselves outside of the top 6 in the future. Bangladesh is a cricket mad country and with their booming population and them getting better with talent identification I can see them getting to a similar spot as what India are down the track.
30 years ago Windies fans probably thought they would be top forever aswell

Yes
All valid points
Just frustrating to see quite a lot of one sided Test matches with some players racking up Test caps that wouldn;'t even get a game in any Shield team in Aust.
