Whats the use of No. 1. We have nothing to do with it. Even when India used to lose 5-0 to WI,England, cricket had the same craze in India, stadiums jam packed and radio commentary at every shop and house.
The position No. 1 will benefit the rich and wealthy cricketers, corporates and the greedy BCCI only. For cricket fan it has no value, only the game is the value.
now they have been crushed on their own soil(all credit to south africa). punter would be thinking of revenge. symmo will be brought back and i think they will bring back all their key players. Before the strom comes it is all silent.
oz was a great team cause it stayed on top for so long.. n won 3 world cups.. let any team even have that kind of dominance for even 1 year.. n then talk.
oz team has been highly over rated for more than a year a or so. no team challenged them. the fear of the old team prevented to beat them now. now that there have been at least 2 series when they were comprehensively beaten - there should be no doubt for england and sri lanka.
well, india could have been the team to have won a series in oz soil, but then you need the lords of cricket - the umpires to co-operate with us as well - just being equally fair would have been enough for us.
