When India faced Nas ball: rewind to England's tour of India in 2001

Listen Later

We rewind to England's tour to India in 2001-02 - when India won the three-Test series 1-0 and England leveled the six-match ODI series 3-3. England arrived in India on the back of terrific series wins in Sri Lanka and Pakistan - and despite a green bowling attack managed to gave India a scare in two Tests.

Talking Points:

  • The uncertainty around the tour because of the events around 9/11
  • India's eventful 2001 - epic wins, big defeats, and plenty of controversy 
  • The similar (yet contrasting) narratives around the captaincy of Nasser Hussain and Sourav Ganguly 
  • How England's raw bowling attack found a way to restrict India's batting line-up
  • The legend of Ashley Giles bowling a negative line from over the wicket
  • Tendulkar's peak - and the unrealistic high standards everyone set for him
  • Craig White and Matthew Hoggard: coming of age on a tough tour
  • The Bangalore Test that could have been played in Headingley
  • The threat of Sehwag at No.7 
  • Marcus Trescothick's dream run in the one-dayers
  • When Flintoff took his shirt off
