Suggest including number of matches for each tournament so one could correlate with expectations.

Done

[FischerTal]

anything less than series wins would be considered disappointing as of now

[Sean Bradley]

Champions Trophy achieved, no more Chuttu Muttur Cups now, next goal should be a Test Series win on South African soil.

[Divvy]

I want India to win against Aus, SA and NZ.

[NareshK]

The only series which is of importance for me after Champions Trophy is the next test series against South Africa. All other series are just making up numbers.

++ A series win there is the biggest of all!

[adi B]

a good +ve show in safrica is all what i want,possibly win a test

How would it feel if we lose Celkon Cup after winning CT. Australia was No.1 for so many years for some reason right?? And it is we only who later on go on to say that India doesn't dominate World Cricket. :headshake:

[carnish]

Seriously dissapointed in you guys ... how can we go on to dominate cricket if we don't win these chotu mottu cups??? We cannot go back to the days where we lost most finals just because we couldn't ... only this time it would be cause we are not interested. Plus winning is a habit, if we don't win chotu motu cups we won't have the right attitude and doubts and complacency will creep into the side.

[adi B]

off course we`ll win those chhotu cups and the odis vs oz that is why i only mentioned doing well in safrica :dontknow:

[NareshK]

Yeah, it would be nice if we win consistently and win all the Celkon Cups, Airtel Cups and what have you but what I'm personally looking forward to is the next test series in SA which will be a big challenge for our team.

[Pagalpanti]

I just hope we dont get humiliated in 7 match ODI series in SA. Even with our best teams our batting has struggled big time there.

[hhunaeh]

Isn't the aim of the zimbabwe series to test new players?

[India-KXIP fan]

Ishant already has started reaching his potential, soon he will become strike bowler. Yadav will also develop into world class bowler. With a strong bowling attack Im expecting India to be dominant like Aussie sides, at least for ODI.

[G_B_]

yeah i dont really care much about these odi series. but if i had to have goals for the 2013-2014 season in general - defeat south africa in a test series (unlikely) - defeat south africa away in an ODI bilateral series.

[carnish]

Guys, its not only about the team ... This season can be a good point in the careers of many of our future stars and hence from that point of view, its important, we see how these players develop and become permanent for a long time. Its not about winning one odd series but developing future stars for India.

[Nikhil_cric]

Lol. Some people think we can actually dominate RSA in RSA. Without a quality pace attack that is just not happening. Btw facing Steyn,Morkel,Philander,Abbott/De Lange in SA is way more challenging than playing AUS in AUS and ENG in ENG. Have people already forgotten what happened on those tours?

[Cricashfaq]

India's improvement in Tests especially in away series...Tour of South Africa will be the ideal one...Series win in that will satisfy me more than anything else
