The race to become no. 1
australia has been the champion team for quite some time. during this period other team had no hope but to struggle for 2nd 3rd or even fourth spot...many team would dream to become no. 1 but only see themselves to slip in ranking further...
but not the scene is bit different...there was time when every player in playing oz eleven was contributing now only 1-2 player seem to contribute...india started the slump by defeating australia and now south africa is doing good job down under to remove them from no. 1 position...officially...
this certainly has raised the interest of common cricket fan in terms of who will become no. 1 which is very good for test cricket...
its really seems a possibility that india, the way they are playing, too can become no. 1 but if you closely follow the no. of test matches india going to play (see the above table)...its clear the india will take some time to be no. 1 in test cricket...not for her performance though...but coz of sheer ignorance of BCCI towards test cricket...
its quite clear that while australia will be playing 16 tests in year 2009...india will be playing only 6 matches...then how we can improve on our rating by playing much less?
we don't often play with teams like bangladesh, west indies, new zealand (which are considered relatively weaker teams) and i feel that it helped australia immensely coz they played with weaker teams more regularly than us...why can't we play with them even more?
if we get to play more test matches like australia or south africa...don't you think we too can become no. 1?
