India should dominate cricket.

[Tiger80]

I find it very funny when I hear this - "India has a billion plus population so they should be number 1 in cricket or Olympics etc." Just so you know, 80 % of this population have no chance of becoming sportsmen. Most of the kids in India have to concentrate only on their studies and taking up a sport as a career opportunity is a privilege only some can afford. A sizable population of the kids dont even have access to education and job opportunities and many have to work to make ends meet. So they cant even think about going into sports. The situation is only changing with the current generation but its still largely incomparable with western countries.

+1 Even China where football is one of the most popular sport is unable to produce world class football team or footballers .This is the same country that dominate Olympics but fails in in any professional sports.

I feel that India lack the bowlers to reverse swing the new ball
