While India maintains its No. 1 ranking for so long, is still a table that has the team's needs in mind

This tent had to be a series, is not it? Side of the farm, No. 1, rather weakly, as believed, against which was rejected by the empty discourse tough, hard-nosed approach. It was the kind of series that are expected. India would have to light up the English summer, the brand of cricket, in fact, even excellent at Wimbledon and the British Open was a place of celebration and a big bully, the PLA, it was almost a month after the first test. It could not have been a better time. But so far has been a damp squib, big-budget flops. The crowd turned up, but have not seen the competition.

When India became No 1, they did no favor done to them. It 'important to understand that as a good team does not become bad overnight, and this is not a yardstick to measure the quality of the group. But those who reached the summit, India should move away from the opposition, is part of the Aura, as the No. 1 credit for it, that India needed to prepare and have the best chance of staying ahead . Not so. They were folded up against the competition and get a well-trained team of home conditions. It was not the first time this has happened, and it will be the last.

The Indian authorities as to complete the route, available any time, rather than break trust. In doing so, they give their side the worst possible opportunity to make an early impact. And it is my contention that India has done well in the past, despite the preparation of poor quality. This is not a new argument, some of us were shouting about it from the rooftops. But it deserves another look.

Over the past four years, India has had three sets of hard away. Against Australia in 2007-08, captain Anil Kumble asked the three hot-games. He was told he would receive no more than one. As we have seen, it was a good rinse with a little cricket, and India went to Saint Stephen, the baggage tag test kits still have their bags. They were bowled out 196 and 161 (Rahul Dravid important clue is that it has been done to open the bar) and lost 337 races.

India then in South Africa in December 2010 without a single first-class matches behind him, although many players were sent early in acclimatization. They were bowled out 136 innings and lost, despite a great performance the second innings.

On each visit to India came back to win historic victories that lead to the unwelcome tag of a team that starts slowly and fight again. A fight-back could be over-glamourised, especially if it can be avoided with better planning. The winner of Perth in 2008 and Durban in 2010 showed how India could be good, but they were not always allowed to be by people who planned their travels, the people who were supposed to be on their side.

These results suggest that the two players who were good enough to win abroad if India was to play two or three games before his first test. One would think that if the BCCI was serious about India still No. 1, which would be much to learn. However, the board decided not resolved. It's like paracetamol know will lower the temperature of your child, but chose not to use it.

BCCI is better than anyone else to get the best possible plan. As the dominant figure of the International Criminal Court would have allowed India to get what they want to remain No. 1 Instead, the board bends on the appointment of the muscles and decision-Review System. India would have a schedule they wanted in England and South Africa, but it is clear that it was not a priority. Often, you get what you deserve, but you can also get what you really want. Indian players have the opportunity to stay No. 1, but their adoption is not an attempt to be No. 1 in the field.

And nothing will change. Champions League Twenty20 is sandwiched between this series and the remains limited matches against England at home. It is then, 57 days before the test in Melbourne. You want India to be there 15 days earlier to play two matches. This leaves 42 days to play three Tests and five one-day internationals against West Indies at home. You need a minimum of 37 days if the game is wrapped back to back, to get there.

Large organizations manage their brands, as they would feed their children, give them the best chance of success. The major brands of quality is not negotiable before administering profitability. If you do it the other way, it slipped in quality. Profitability at the expense of quality is always a short-term.

You reap you sow. India could return in this series because it is a quality team, but if they do, it will be despite what those who are destined to fuel have allowed.
