Race for No. 1

The race for no.1 test team is on....

India is the number 1 T-20 team. Also beating the Aussies in the One-dayers down under makes us the arguable no 1.

However to be the no.1 team in Test matches we have to still win series in South Africa and Australia....

Problem is we are not touring Australia for another 2 years now....

So when are we going to South Africa ???? No internet sites of cricket show us that....

If South Africa beat Australia at home, which will be known in another couple of weeks... they will be the team to beat....

Australia will again travel to South Africa in March so after that series we will know which is the team to beat...

This is a strange time... We now go to NewZealand after two months for 5 ODI's, 2 Tests and 1 T20 match, if rain permits there will be play.

After that again a break and in June we go to England for T-20 World Cup.... That is simply too little cricket in 6 months time. Thanks to the Pakistani tour being cancelled the players will have a long break...

But a team that is playing wonderful cricket is winning left right and centre would want to play and keep winning....

Trust the BCCI to arrange some or the other meaningless ODI series before we go to the NewZealand. However it is Test Matches that our team needs to play .... is any one hearing ???
