   India deserves the top slot because of its consistent performance both home and away – http://myhistoryisinteresting.blogspot.com/2009/12/icc-test-rankings-review.html

   Mr.Geoffrey Boycott,

   i read your comment about SEHWAG on cricinfo

   you said sehwag cant get 300 on moving tracks so he is modern day great on batting picthes…

   how many players got 300 on moving picthes like newzealand and england to become great..

   whole world says that dravid, tendulkar,gavaskar they are great batsmans,did they got 300 on moving picthes to become great…

   why sehwag needs to get 300 on moving picthes to become great …when all the players like dravid,gavaskar,tendulkar needs to get just 100 to become great….is that not unfair on sehwag to say that get 300 on moving piches to become great.. if others in the history considered great just by getting 100s on moving piches….

   sehwag got runs in south africa,australia,newzealand,england….
   he got his 1st 100 in test matchs in south africa, he got is first 100 as an opener in england moving conditions,

   I think you know about these things, but still your talking thes rubbis means..

   i think you have more than oNe name in the fathers name column of your school marksheet.

   Iranna,
   You should be ashamed of yourself. Abusing and, if I read your English properly, actually threatening Sir Geoff for voicing his opinion. Sometimes I dispair of the internet. Every Cricinfo comments section seems to deteiorate into viscious, nationalistic name calling. I was looking at an MCC swing bowling coaching video the other day and the comments on that essentially involved frankly racist abuse towards the English.
   I don’t agree with everything Geoffry (or anyone else for that matter) says about cricket, but posts such as yours do nobody any credit.

   Well Grant. We Indians are very emotional about our cricket, so give Iranna the benifit of doubt. As for the whole Sehwag question, he got a double century BEFORE lunch IN Australia..so I don’t dounbt his greatness. Having said that, a great man like Boycott is entitled to his opinions.
