Yes, we are the most rich cricket nation and can control the cricket authorities. But when will our administrators be humble and considerate like our great icons, Sachin and Dravid. I really hope cricket does not die due to BCCI. After golf, it's the only other gentleman's game. And I hope that it carries on for years? Are you upset with BCCI?

What have been the best time periods for top batsmen?
Graham Gooch for example scored 2304 runs, at a average of 72 in 18 tests in a period between 1990-1991. He was very consistent during that time, it was his best time period in his career
Brian Lara scored 2218 runs, at a average of 69 in the years 1994-95
Mohammad Yousuf scored 2405 runs, at a average of 80 in 2005-2006
Miandad is regarded as the best batsman produced by Pakistan where as Dravid is among top Test batsman in the world.
Who do you think is a better player overall if we consider both ODIs and Tests.Both have similar kind of records in both formats.
Dravid Test avg 52.31
Dravid Odi avg 39.6 SR 71.24
Miandad Test avg 52.57
Miandad odi avg 41.7 SR 67
Dilip Vengsarkar, the former India captain, has voiced concern over the ability of India's bowlers to take 20 wickets in a match during the upcoming England tour.
Ishant Sharma is the only quick bowler who has Test experience bowling in English conditions, and the rest of the quicks - Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Varun Aaron - have 13 Tests between them. Ishwar Pandey and Pankaj Singh are yet to earn their first caps. What makes it even tougher for India is that they have not played a five-Test series in over a decade.
"We need to have bowlers who can get them out twice," he said at the launch of a website for his cricket academy. "We will play with four bowlers and out of them you have to have two who can get 10 wickets in a match, and I don't see anyone [capable of] doing it."
Having gone through a host of personal favourite XIs over the years, I have noticed how perception and psychology plays its part in these selections. Please note that this is not about how good or bad a team is. The best ever XI from Zimbabwe, for example, would never be able to beat the best ever team from the West Indies. This is all about the thought that goes into these selections.
SL have announced another 7 match series against England at home. Do you think 7 match series are the way forward for ODI cricket?

Whether dropped, retired or other circumstances (a la Asif). Thoght it would be interesting to see how many players of late have actually gone out and bid farewell to the game on a high.

Aussie Legend Ricky Ponting recently stated on Sky Sports that he knew after 120-130 Tests he couldn't get better and felt he carried on for 2 years too many. But that he felt he had to stay in the team to guide a young team after the departure of so many greats. What do you think of this statement by Ponting?
