What does India need to become Number 1?

[Furious007]

Fact is India has struggled for years, India has never won in Australia, SA and the smashing's over the last 6 years overseas says a lot about India cricket. The fact is BCCI are a corrupt organization and as long as they control Indian cricket it will be corrupt. How can they appoint Ravi Shastri as coach? Is he a qualified coach? How can they keep saying DRS is not 100% when nothing is 100% fail proof, biggest joke is Indian cricket.

To begin with, fans who don't expect us to become #1. Cause it ain't going to happen. Period.

[BeautifulGame]

Ask other teams to play with 10 players .To compensate for tailnut Rohit .

[vayuu1]

More than being number 1,I'll be happy we start being competitive on every aspect of game ,also find bowlers and batsmen who are willing to fight it out, rest will take care of itself, barring kohli, Rahane, Ashwin, vijay and Dhawan nobody is willing to do that and stop playing sifarishi's

[maniac]

At this point buying the ranking with the bcci treasury seems the only option

[Gollum]

Invent a time machine.

[kosingh]

We need about 2 good fast bowlers, 2 good spinners, around 6 good batsman, and only 1 good keeper. If we can just do that, we should be competitive.

[MechEng]

Arrey no number 1 shumber 1. We all want good cricket, that's all. Fans are disappointed because the team gave no fight considering the fact that this team is much better than the kind of performance it gave.

9-10 world class Players

We need about 2 good fast bowlers, 2 good spinners, around 6 good batsman, and only 1 good keeper. If we can just do that, we should be competitive.

BCCI is responsible for where we R, a country of 1.2 bill that is 1/5 of world population n we R weak, no pride or goals of being the best, just make money

BCCI is responsible for where we R' date=' a country of 1.2 bill that is 1/5 of world population n we R weak, no pride or goals of being the best, just make money[/quote'] I think real problem is in domestic cricket . We are not producing any cricketers for any format

[Desi Cartman]

Clone Rohit Sharma and play with 11 Rohits :yay:

[kirkutfan]

Sub contract the administration of the game to South African cricket board. They know how to pick talent in developing country and multilingual type environments. They develop good/ consistent teams that do well in foreign conditions and win a lot at home. Bcci can just focus on money making part.

[kosingh]

In terms of young talent (say under age 26), India may be among the worst in the world.

[fineleg]

Clone 11 Nohits, born to lose. Thats the way , aha! aha!, I like it, aha!

[Vilander]

BCCI is responsible for where we R' date=' a country of 1.2 bill that is 1/5 of world population n we R weak, no pride or goals of being the best, just make money[/quote'] 1/5 population is wrong. 1.2 bil does not mean 1.2 bil are playing ciricket. Beyond a critical number of people additional population does not have a linear relation with sporting ability in a country.

[The Outsider]

1/5 population is wrong. 1.2 bil does not mean 1.2 bil are playing ciricket. Beyond a critical number of people additional population does not have a linear relation with sporting ability in a country.

How about Barbados? That tiny island will beat the Indian team black and blue for most of its history and certainly in an all time XI!

[vvvslaxman]

Banning all the other countries from playing.
