Ian Chappel said that India do not have enough resources to be number1 in test cricket for a long time. India had a good batting line up but what it lacks is the specilised bowling attack. A team to be in the numbe1 for a long period requires atleast 2 champion bowlers and India does not have even one. He also told that the bowling is not good enough to win consistantly all over the world.
What he said may be true to some extent, but i think India know it's limitation and will overcome that very quickly. India had won 9 test matches and lost just 3 matches out of the past 20 matches in last two year. Whats your openion? will Indai able to keep the number one tag for a longer period of time ?

Yes I agree with him on that one. Indias bowling attack is very poor. They do have some good players no doubt the ones who are good are very inconsistent and not really capable of changing matches. At the moment though things are going well and Indias bowlers all chip in and get the wickets and get the job done for the team. But they dont really have a bowler they can bank on in any situation.

I think he is very right in his views because India may have a strong batting line up but our bowling is what that gets us into trouble.
