What will happen to Test Ranking if India goes down by 4-0

[Blue Panther]

I just feel sehwag, gambo, zaheer would have made a huge difference. We miss them. I still believe the full strength indian side is capable of beating england for sure in england conditions.

who the hell has a fake no1 ranking? it is approved by the ICC. india got more than a few bad decisions in the two matches. otherwise 300+ scores were easily on cards. why they're not using DRS for LBWs is beyond me. some conspiracy...

Yeah bhaji would have made a world of a difference :D

Thats part of the package ,Sri Lanka lost Dilshan for the final test ,still managed to drew the match . Plus they played with half bowlers through out the series . Lost Nuwan Pradeep due to Injury (who was doing well in the practice matches ). No point thinking what if....

And who the **** is nuwan pradeep? And u know that zak, sehwag, gambhir would have made a huge diff. U dont wanna accept because ICF members have given u a hard time here. :haha:

stop complaining Indians. SL had **** bowling attacks and still managed to save face except for an unusual choke. :winky: SL bowling lost Murali, Vass and Malinga. Thats a whole lot more important that Gambi, Sehwag and khan. The only one who really would have mattered slightly is Sehwag and he wasnt all that great on the swinging tracks of England. SL lost arguably the greatest bowler ever( statisitically), the deadliest bowler who can swing the game in one over and Vass who is on par with Khan. :hysterical: Just admit your time as number 1 is over and get down to where you belong:haha:

Well said ' date=' Probably come up with some bizarre way to shuffle up the rankings .[/quote'] Hope they organize a home test series with England instead of ODI's later this year B->

Malinga did not retire for IPL , the guy has been having injury problems since his debut.. He even got injured now and cant play the Aus series. Anyways Retired, injured, sold out , It really does not matter. India is getting their ass whopped. End of story. :giggle:

At least Pakistan managed to win 1 test match last year even without Yousuf and Younis in the team..we had 2-3 new players in the middle order.. Lets see if India manage 1 win.

[CrazyCric]

Lets see is India can pass 400 with their 'World best Batting line up' in the following 2 tests . Remember Sri Lanka played in the early summer with bowler friendly conditions :D

IPL or Sri Lanka; selectors give Malinga ultimatum Malinga retired for IPL. Even ur sports minster questioned him i think. Lasith Malinga’s reluctance to play Test cricket, but not Twenty20 cricket at the Indian Premier League (IPL) has irked Sri Lanka’s chief selector Duleep Mendis. Mendis has given the bowler an ultimatum to return to the island and attend to his injury, if he’s unavailable to represent Sri Lanka, or face the risk of never representing the country again. "It looks a bit awkward when someone says he is injured and continues to play cricket," Mendis said, speaking to reporters from Colombo. "That is the reason why we have decided to write to Malinga and ask him to return home and undergo a rehabilitation programme. "Malinga has specifically mentioned in a letter that he is not available for Test matches right now because he has a nagging knee problem. "When the player says that he is injured and he has to undergo a rehab programme what we can do is to tell him to undergo it immediately, without continuing to play cricket in the IPL, and then get ready for cricket in Sri Lanka if he is interested in playing for his country." Malinga is currently playing for the Mumbai Indians in the fourth season of the IPL, where his workload is limited to four-over spells per match. In comparison, the number of overs he would be required to complete in a single Test match nears his entire quota of overs in a full IPL season, making his decision to not play the five-day format, in order to prolong his career, a logical one. “They don’t wake up with sore knees every morning like I do and they did not spend over a year worrying whether I would ever be able to bowl again,†Malinga said, responding to his critics in an interview with Island Cricket, earlier this year. “It is not a question of whether Test cricket is more or less important. It is a question of what is physically possible and what the team feels is the most sensible thing to do." Tommy Simsek attends to Lasith Malinga. AFP PHOTO/Jewel SAMAD. In a letter dated November 24, 2010, which Island Cricket has in its possession, to the then chairman of selectors Aravinda de Silva (also copied to the captain, coach and manager), physio Tommy Simsek wrote: “Lasith’s participation in Test matches is a matter entirely between Lasith and the selectors. “Lasith is likely to get fatigue induced knee soreness from time to time when fielding or bowling for prolonged periods. “Furthermore, the more cricket Lasith plays, the quicker his knees will continue to degenerate and hence is likely shorten his career. “However, I will not say that Lasith should not be playing Test Matches. Once again, I would like to re-iterate, that this is a decision to be made between the selectors and Lasith himself,†Simsek added, in closing. It is unclear if Mendis and the new selection panel, who were appointed just last week, are aware that no remedial work is possible for Malinga's condition and that the decision is Malinga's alone, considering that his condition determines the longevity of his career. However, with Sri Lanka Cricket locking horns with the BCCI, requesting the early return of the players from the IPL and rejecting the Indian Board’s request to allow them to continue until May 20, speculation is rife that this ultimatum given to Malinga may have a lot to do with recent events involving Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and their Indian counterparts. http://www.islandcricket.lk/news/srilankacricket/107660420/ipl-or-sri-lanka-selectors-give-malinga-ultimatum :finger::finger::finger::hysterical::hysterical:
