There are various factors which makes a team no.1 in world. It also takes a lot of hard work, determination and guts to be called no.1 and that's why aussies are there. At the moment india are on the right track. The team has developed a winning habit which is very important. Further players like yuvraj and dhoni are understanding there roles and giving great returns.The team is under the wall so not to worry. i think we'll be ther very shortly.

mainly because of media. media has given so much importance to cricket .no other sport in india get better coverage than cricket. also it is the only in which india stands firm with rest of the world unlike football and hockey in  which indian team is far behind than rest of the world

India will gain valuable experience for the world cups on the ground where they are supposed to play. It would immensly help them to prepare for the world cup. I feel india will win the test and ODI series.

Westindies pitches are more suitable for fast bowlers than batsman. So no team can post a score of 400 or above.\n\nLooking back the the recent matches, we can say srilanka, zimbawe and england teams does not show any consistency and the chances for reaching semi itself is feable. \n\nPakistan any way they will never win against india in world cup moreover they have been thrashed very badly in recent matches so their confidence level is very low . Waqar is teaching them now how to reduce sixes and give only fours So they will not play for win they will be playing for descent lose.so they are also ruled out\n\nSo the final teams playing semi finals will be \nIndia\nSouthAfrica\nAustralia\nWestindies\n\nWestindies till now have very good record in home ground so the chances are more for westindies to reach final.\n\nNow its very easy to say india beat SA/Australia in Semis and meet Westindies in final. \n\nThe team which is most expected will win the cup.

They play too much cricket when compared to other teams in the world. One more main issue is that cricket is not just a game in India, its a religion. People see players as their role models, so if the cricketers fail they face severe criticism. That's the reason they are under lot of pressure.

INDIA MAY MANAGE A TEST WIN IN WINDIES.\nTHE WIN CAN BE HIGH-LIGHTED AS IRFAN'S BOWLING TALENT.\nWINDIES CAN WIN 1 OR 2 MATCHES.\n\nI PREDICT NO INDIAN SERIES VICTORY.

If you ask of only performance, India will get a 7 out of 10. Indian batsmen have performed very well, and fielding is up to the mark. India lag behind in specialist bowlers (in hindi - tikkau) like pathan, bhajji, nehra, agarkar etc. \nAnd another thing which hasnt favoured India is the luck. Somehow the first match was drawn by a splendid show in pain by Edwards, but the second test was drawn all because of one day and a half lost in rain!!!

no indian bowler has no. 3 ranking in either test cricket or one-day cricket. S. Warne of aus is at no.3 in test cricket and G. McGrath of aus is at no.3 in odi cricket. A. Kumble is topper in indian team with no.8 ranking in test cricket and I. Pathan is topper in indian team with no.7 ranking in odi cricket.

still india can win if they can sort out the problems...\nthe team with less number of errors or problems will win. India already had a major problem in the likes of coach Greg Chappel.

India will win it. This has to be the most common question in the cricket category.

Mahender Singh Dhoni.\n\nHe is an outstanding batsman. You know his batting average is 55. Which is very good for an young batsmen. He also scored 1000 runs in ODI. After scoring 1000 runs, he is keeping up his batting average. There is his callibre. Also he has a great future. he can overtake the records of Sachin tendulkar. After enormous effect of his wicket keeping, he can bat very very well. That shows his callibre in cricket. So i think he is the No 1 Batsmen.

No Indian cricket team has one of the best talents in the world but they are wasting it by not playing to their potential. So we need not change the players but have to change their mind set by making them more professional and competitive. Indians should have the urge to win and win only they should have that spirit glowing int hem. Then only they can win. And if u wanna remove a player i suggest Suresh Raina as he is a kid and has to go the training at the lower level and have to upgrade him. He must be groomed and that should be done by making him play at the lower level. He has to be given confidence. All others must know their responsibilities and must know their role and play. They should not tell just like that "i can play at any position". Also the team management must know who can play where and must experiment on that basis. We cannot see Pathan or Dhoni at number 3. Number 3 is for an sheet anchor like Dravid or Ganguly. Kaif is also best suited for that job and Sachin and Shewag must always open. Ganguly must be inducted into the team and without him it is very difficult for India the win the World Cup.

Today's bad phase cannot be considered as end of Indian Cricket.  India will defenitely come out of the present bad form and come back strongly in the world cup 2007.
