England8217;s best team can beat India every day of the week: Darren Gough

The Sun further quoted him,as saying: 8220;For me,we8221;re the best team in the world at this moment. I8221;ve watched the South Africa-India series and I see nothing to worry about. India is fantastic in their own country and have some great individuals,but I8221;d fancy this England side to beat them every day of the week.

8220;I don8221;t know whether that is because we8221;re better than everybody else in sight or because we have a top-class spinner and five bowlers who could start a Test,no problem. We now have so many options,especially in attack,and the reason this team are so dominant is because we have 16 players who could have started the first Test match,8221; Gough said.

Gough believes Strauss8221; heroes deserve the same accolades as the 2005 Ashes side,who were awarded MBEs and enjoyed an open-top bus parade through London.

He added: 8220;Will this team get the same reception? Probably not. Do they deserve to? I would say yes.8221;
