Mind you I do keep hearing about how good the Indian team is, so even though their away record suggests they aren't as good as they think they are, it will still be embarrassing if they lose to this abysmal England side later in the summer!
Are you being serious
See 2016 when I had 2 or 3 months argument with Backfootpunch on it.

that's true enough. It isn't why he's in the team though. I think he's been selected to put the icing on an England innings.... which is odd because it feels like a while since England's top 6 have actually produced enough of a score for someone to put the icing on

Only won 4 away from home as well from a big sample size.
Really hard to see where the new players are coming from.
