Indian Teams is No.1 in Test by chance because Austrial/South Aferica has perform below their capacity. Indian team gets the benefit of that. Otherwise such poor feilding and blowing never make Indian Team to reach this spot. If Indian teams makes improvement in their fielding/blowing then it can be say that this is No.1 team of the world. Otherwise it looks like a village fielding and blowing team. So much improvement required to achieve the goal

Indian team is No1 because of its much powerful batting line up than Aus and SA has in its side. That actually puts the bowling and fielding in shadows. Because of its batting, India defenitely deserves the No 1 spot.

We didn't ask them to underperform... If they did we r not at fault... We did good they didn't... we enjoy the pride...
I feel Donald has got more observation & understanding capability & knowledge about the finer aspects of the bowling. I'm sure 'empty headed Dho..'(so that he can continue with his team of zaheer,nehra,ishanth...perfect combination with his awkard and ungainly batting)along with his dumb coach kirsten have had a hand in it.

Indians are reasonably good in other fields but pathetic in sports as has been consistently proved in olympics,hockey, cricket,football, etc. Even in cricket played by just 8 countries,we are no.3 overtaken by aussies and SA's,although India is the financial capital of cricket.The no.1 test status was given recently to India as a token.How can a nation which played fewest test matches last year get it?The answer is obvious.

Good try. If only your pakistani team plays for winning and not for money (by fixing the results), you might be busy praising your team. Seriously all is lost for Pakistan as a nation! Not very unfortunate though.

im a big fan of viru,coz hes a completely selfless guy.....i mean who hits a 6 or a 4 when ur on 194 or 294??? but then he is verry lazy on the field....even while taking runs he runs sooooo slowly between the wkt esp when hes near the crease....so he has to get rid of his laziness. and bout yuvraj and harbhajan jus 4get!!!

How can you consider Sehwag as arrogant, he is very cool guy but hot guy while batting. You are right about Yuvraj and Harbhajan.

Whether, Eric or Allan, Guys within the team shold learn from them. If we do NOT have a attitude to learn, there is no point in appointing a Bowling coach separately.
