Steve Smith "Winning in India bigger than Away Ashes Win"

[Julio_Schwarz]

As titled, Steve Smith has come out with this. Is this Trash Talking or does he have a point? To me, i think its a load of rubbish but that may be my English bias. Thoughts?

If they turn up like they don't give a toss that's fine with me

Doesn't explain why they've not won a series over here since 2001....

Steve Waugh was of the same opinion although i think he won 3 Ashes series in English soil.

Just licking India’s arses with that statement. Do not believe for one second that’s how he really feels

I can kind of see it. Australia may not have won here since 2001, but they've retained the Urn here last time, and had plenty of success. Australia victories in India aren't that common, and even we view it as the "final frontier", we just put more emphasis on the Ashes over there because we never win there.

For teams like us, NZ, Aus, SA, India is so far away from what we're used to that it becomes arguably the biggest challenge.

Take the emotion out of it, and our win in India under Strauss was far more impressive than the 3-1 Down Under

He's probably just on a wind-up.

Looking forward to seeing bazball this summer.

When he says bigger does he really mean harder? India usually have a great team.

It’s certainly harder if they prepare the type of pitches they did against us last time. It’s a greater achievement I suppose because of that but certainly not ‘better’

 

[Inside Forward]

Probably harder to win in India due to that hosts’ tendency to create disgraceful wickets that overly favour the home side.

I don’t like Australia but I despise India.

No this is how they really feel. Possibly with some a justification if its true . I mean hell fire thats just not cricket ...is it ?

No shame. They don't care how ridiculous it makes them look, or how much it devalues their wins.

They don’t even try to cover up their cheating.

2 or 3 day test with axar and the mankadder taking 7 wickets each?

Live on BT Sport in case anyone didn't know.

All be over by Saturday in any case

That pitch looks hilarious . Lots of Indians saying the Aussies are just moaning and the pitch is perfectly fine. We shall see how it plays but it looks pretty suspicious!

They cry whenever theres a bit of cloud cover and they get skittled over here, then produce doctored wickets like that fuck the Indians man, when it comes to cricket they're a bunch of absolute c*nts

They act like the ECB control the clouds when they twist about English conditions. Hate them me.
