Was 90s ODI team better than Ganguly's ODI team ?

[vvvslaxman]

90s was a story of subcontinental success both in ODI and Test for India but disaster outside. Ganguly's team at least started challenging strong teams like Aus and SA with decent performance in CTs and WC2003. Again 90s was so dependent on SRT (one man army) but 2000s started the trend of young turks like Yuvi' date='kaif,sehwag became integral part of ODI team...so I wouldn't downgrade Ganguly's team effort in any way from 90s.[/quote'] That is true despite lack of achievements in ODI (bar world cup final in 2003) India's stature in test cricket improved a lot. India was utterly hopeless outside subcontinent in the 90s thanks to Wadekar/Azharuddin plan of having dug up holes as pitches.

I am not sure about ODIs at home. Test cricket, I would agree.

india reached the finals of ct in 2000, won the trophy shared in 2002, reached the wc finals in 2003, won 2-1 in odi`s in 2002, won an odi game in saf in 2001(lol),won 3-2 vs pak,won a trophy shared with saf in 2003,won the natwest series( i guess it was the last odi series india won in england) won 3-2 vs saf in 2000 actually he reached a lot of finals, i guess india reached finals in all tournaments for continous 5 years, done by no other team, but yeah lost quite a lot in those

The Natwest win gets glorified due to a couple of things: 1. Highest ever score chased in finals/in England/At Lord's/By India 2. Two newbies winning the game for us which was nearly dead
