India has never played a 5 Test series in England for 50 years

To those who moan about BCCI scuttling Test cricket here is an astounding fact.

India have not played a five-Test series in England since 1959, a fact that clearly shows for all its lip service ECB had done nothing to promote Test cricket.

The other reason for ECB's harp is that their one-day sides performance was 8 miles away from the test ones.

You fingered it correctly. The English fare poorly in ODI's that is why they always talk about the sanctity of Test matches.:)
