It seems to be a million dollar question in the aftermath of 2-0 test series defeat of aussies and a one-day series(CB series) defeat at home earlier this year,that whether they still stand as no.1 or not."Is aussie dominance on world cricket over?".....well the answer is a straight NO!. Its early days,too early to forget that they have won 21 ODIs,16 tests & 3 world cups on the trot.Though,past glory & success dont persist forever and a time will come when a new king of cricket will be crowned,but it has not come as yet.i feel so because, i dont find another team,if not india,to be even at a challenging par with the aussies.And oh! india-"no.1"...wait a sec,have u forgotten the 440 volts shock that the indian team has a history of giving to its fans every now and then it is hiped so much?Since it is india,who is claiming the crown,we have to wait n watch till its complete coronation as india holds the record of losing 11 ODI series finals on the trot -a symtom of getting complacent after managing to reach the jugdgement day!

Dear friend,
ReplyDeleteOur media feeds us with too much of cricket; and the cricket insdtead pre-occupies our young sters. This pre-occupation instead destroys many things.
Our youngsters should understand this thing and search the real problems of our country and arrange them in their priorities.

its not fair!!!!.....you said "past glories don't persist"....so is the case with the defeat..on the basis of past defeat you can't claim that india won't be the next no.1!!!!...you can take a look at the recent match were india has already taken a lead by 5-0...so,i think india has a great future ahead!!!!
