There has been some discussion about India's inability to win Test
matches away from home. I decided to look at it for all countries.

Most consecutive away Test matches by a team without a win:

43 (29L, 14D) Ind Lord's 1932 to Sydney 1967-68
31 (17L, 14D) SL Karachi 1981-82 to Napier 1993-94
30 (15L, 15D) NZ Lord's 1931 to Johannesburg2 1961-62
26 (10L, 16D) Ind Leeds 1986 to Colombo (SSC) 1993-94
25 (14L, 11D) NZ Dacca 1969-70 to The Oval 1983
25 ( 8L, 17D) Ind Wellington 1980-81 to Sydney 1985-86

For other countries:
12 ( 5L, 7D) Eng Johannesburg4 1938-39 to Kingston 1947-48
13 (6L, 6D, 1T) Aus Lord's 1985 to Leeds 1989
23 (17L, 6D) RSA Melbourne (4) 1910-11 to Melbourne (5) 1931-32
9 ( 3L, 6D) WI Lord's 1933 to Calcutta 1948-49
24 (10L, 14D) Pak Bombay 1960-61 to Wellington 1972-73

Remind me to never bet on India away from home! If there current away record is
as poor as this, they clearly must really be considered in the bottom bracket of
test teams. What odds to beat RSA in RSA?

What, surely not? The world champs! :)

I think India is without doubt a poor team away from home, especially in
the tests. They lack planning in all areas. Look at their international
calendar. There is hardly any rest. There isn't any time for any player
to rethink. The Indian cricket board should use its head. I feel that
all cricket control boards should appoint a committee to plan the
schedule appropriately. If the palyers do not preform then you can blame
them.
