This is of little imporatnce. This rating changes most frequently...!!!
What is important are the enduring records that will never be overtaken again and will stand as a testament to India's superiority with the willow and ball..!!!! Sachin, Dravid, Sunil |

The cobra has risen..!!!
Dravid has now overtaken your Alan Broder in cumulative runs and like Sachin will rewrite the records books. India will fill all positions of importance..!!! |

my worry about test cricket,is the money on offer
for 20/20 is a lot better and it's finishes a lot
quicker! this has crossed many players minds already
if this is the way of the future for cricket,
spare me please! |

Sub-continental cricket is a different game - they generally don't play to win, they play for records...
Look at this game for a good example

Close of play 417/2

Curators killed Test match cricket |

there was a good article on cricinfo by an indian journalist
India's home test matches have produced 11 draws out of 24 tests over the last 3 years, which is more than the number of drawn tests in the same time in home tests in Australia, Sth Africa and SL.
The BCCI are rigging pitches to get 5 day test matches and more TV rights revenue. |

ban Sri Lanka v India test matches... they create barren, flat, concrete pitches for these matches which basically turn into batting marathons...
it's pointless cricket... have a look at the 2nd test... the Indians 0/182 after 30 odd overs of a test match!!! |

Agreed but whats this talk i hear about the MCC upgrading and renaming Lords with a sponsors name?
Thats a mooted move that will surely ruffle the purists.
--------------
Was front page headlines in The Times this week. Has been strenuously denied
------------------------
here's an idea.
If it's clear that a Test Match will not sell out, get the competing players to go around local schools offering free tickets. |

Get rid of 4 day domestic games so that a result will ensue. That is just a start.
You only have to look at this QLD v W/I match draw. 617 by the mighty Q/landers and the W/I salvage a draw. But if it was a 5 day game then the Q/landers would certainly have the goodies. |

i was on about the build up when we come to town
for an ashes battle! or your boys come over here
it's the pinnacle of this great game for me,i would
watch this series home and away once a year every
year no matter what!
nothing get's the juices flowing like a good old
england versus australia encounter! |

test match cricket must never become extinct!
totally unthinkable!
just looking at the next test series in oz and the
build up that comes with it!
no other form of cricket will ever exist, that can
compare to test match cricket! |

Mine will. Hes already got that dream of wearing a baggy green one day. Said hed love to play for Australia and play test cricket, maybe play some 1 dayers but only if he has ample support in the bowling line up and wont play T20 because its "not real cricket and ruins a bowlers figures"
ON THE YOUTH OF TODAY!!!!!!!!!!! |
