I think as a nation we lost interest in this game, particularly the longer version. We are lesser disappointment to lose against Australia in a test match then compared to losing to a local team in IPL. I don't think board is not bothered about the test ranking as we don't play enough test matches and even if we do a serious team selection and preparation is not carried out. Players get more money in IPL so why worry about longer format? So neither the board, nor players nor the fans are interested in test matches, so ranking will not make any sense. And the board says DRS is not fool proof, is the board fool proof?

Yes, WE Must LOSE Interest in at least TEST and Ranji Cicket immediately!Shame there are so many brain-washed cricket addicts and that is why we are a Banana Republic too!Shame!Get some education and open your eyes and mind too, folks, do you know only a handful of nations play Cricket and Test Cricketexcept the crooked white skinned westerners and colonial looter nations, all other nationa including india are the poorest in the world! China does not play cricket and so also,singapore, japan,lorea,etc and since they have not wasted millions and millions of owrk hours like our morons of our banana republic, they are 50-100 years ahead of us! Crooked britishers introduced cricket like introduing mk gandhi and non-violence to make us morrons and cowards and slaves and poor forever, For hindustan to be a uper power both cricket and bolly wood must be banned,pure and simple, if cricket is played must be played only as one day matches on week-ends or holidays too! Be un-selfish dude and think of the nation¬ you or your friends alone!Right,folks???

Read my message carefully, I am be critical towards board and team. Perhaps fans too ....
team mgmt should arrange for a few home series against bangladesh and zimbabwe to bring india back to number one. i am sure sachin would love to play against these two teams on home soil to increase his tally of hundreds.

Why just Sachin, the whole team will be eager to score against these teams. Other players are not scoring even against such teams. So i guess Sachin is much better.
