The world No 1 team is a misnomer as it has been attained purely by playing on home pitches..Also many of these victories are doubtful as proved at Mohali when Pragyan Ojha was lbw with 3 runs to get but Billy Bowden rejected the appeal..BCCI with its money clout can buy umpires and is against umpire review system also..Otherwise how can one explain good umpires like Bowden and Taufell making bloomers in India..For ant international cricketeer to survive today,he has to respect India thanks to the money power of BCCI.

Spot on...add to that a international cricketer or for that matter a retired one like Wasim Akram has to cintinuosly release statements in the press that Sachin Tendulkar and Gavaskar are the greatest athletes in the history of the human kind.

buddy, if pragyan ojha was given not out, ishant sharma was given out in the 2nd innings when he was clearly not out as shown the tv replays. Ishant and laxman had taken the team to the brink of victory. If BCCI had so much power why could they not presurise the umpires then? So, think clearly and talk sense before you air your views! Envy does not help dear friend!

The world no 1 team's result fate is decided by toss.The time they loose the toss means they loose match."PITY".Conduct some puja or mantra or do some practice with Tendulkar with a coin to win the toss.

It is the same case "Naach na aaye to aangan tedha". Till now when he was winning at home on doctored batting flat tracks, he was not complaining and talking about the toss.
