> India fall from top to bottom in 2006

It can't get worse than this, India completed their One-day series in South Africa by handing the Proteas a massive nine-wicket win, which also marked a 4-0 series whitewash for the hosts.

The loss was India's 12th in the 17 matches since that ill-fated tour of the West Indies this summer.

Here is the detail of each Test-playing nation's performance in 2006.

Basically what the stats are saying is we should have quit playing after West Indies Tour or maybe we should have locked our team away till the World Cup.

We have been going through a drought when it comes to victories

I wish the test series brings a ray of hope, else

Only dada can bring a ray of hope

else there is gloom

^ Nope my 'Ray' would be the guy who scores a few centuries or takes 5 wicket hauls

Yeah .. And it should be done consistently .. But The low performances are for the good .. If u go by Newton's law - we shall have a opp reaction and bounce back February onwards for a long long period

^ Amen to that

what transpires in my mind that what happened in tour to australia down under.

in the tests at brisbane, adelaide and melbourne sachin was not at his peak and then he blasted 251 no and was unbeted for a long period of time in new year so its going to happen here too.

we may struggle a little with test too but the resutls will be much better.
