1990's : India is considered the strongest batting lineup. India tours abroad. India lose the series but for some brilliant individual performances.
2000-2008 : India's batting is considered best on paper. India tours abroad and wins a test once in a while.
2008-2010 : India is rarely tested abroad. India find themselves at the top of Test rankings. After all India can boast of the strongest batting lineup in world cricket! Dhoni becomes some sort of a talisman who can do no wrong(mainly because of winning a few T20 tournaments which is considered cricket by some and the world cup on pitches where even Yuvraj Singh managed to pick five wickets)
2011 : Two tough foreign tours. It's time to get the rankings in order.

We are Number one on the rankings. Whenever people ask about India, they say are the best team "on paper", never do they say are the best in the world right now. Isn't that a pointer enough?
Let the year show! England Australia..3 test series!!
By the way, tya ardhya team swatah bol le ki amhala nahi khelaycha Windies madhe. BCCI didnt help either by organising only one tour game
By "England cha home town, they were on a roll already" , you mean India weren't expected to win?
They were..no doubt.. England la jasti chances hote after d injuries..!! aple players tar ek numb ahe baba..they choose what to play n what to not..!! as if hyancha baapacha ahe
In cricket,no team (except aussies) is perfect,everybody plays v good cricket at their home soil.Don't be pessimistic be optimistic.let's expect for the better performances.And dhoni is always been good,please don't use accusing language.
Amit, Chetan: what can be the defence now?
