Indian Cricket Teams - Thunder Down Under!
Come 24th January and you will be witnessing already battered and
for certain lost Indian team against Australia at Adelaide. It would be
the 4th and final test match of the series. India has already lost the series, so now its pride they play for. Australia has taken an unassailable lead of 3-0 in the series. A whitewash
looks certain. So will Adelaide be the burial grounds or will India rise from
ashes and sour high into the sky like phoenix.
Well its quiet clear that after poor show by Indian team
in the ongoing series, we will see many old horses being forced to retire.
Even if they won't do it on their own, BCCI axe will do the job. Top
on the list are likes of Laxman and Dravid. They have been fantastic players in
the past but then nothing can last forever, especially when you don't have good
performances in real time. They will spare Sachin for now, for he is going to
be the one retained for the reason being abundance of experience. Although it’s
just to bask in his glory when he hits his 100th ton.
Give Youngsters More Chance.
Coming back to current series, I feel although senior Indian
players failed to deliver, youngsters like Yadav and Kohli showed promise. May
be with Rohit Sharma in the playing 11 in the next game along with someone like
Ojha we would get to see more of youngsters.
Test cricket is the real cricket, I always believe in it. ODI and
quick fire T20 might have glorified and made the sport more saleable. But its
Test cricket where the real cricketer is judged, the patience, the technique,
the precision and the intelligence needed to excel is the true parameter to
judge a player. Test’s are the real deal. Ricky Ponting, Dravid, Laxman,
Kallis, Warne, Sachin, Lara and the likes of them are admired worldwide today
because they are good test players.

Which youngsters are you talking about buddy. Rohit sharma !!!! who has been given chances more than anyone else.
People are talking about asking the seniors to leave. who do you have to replace them. Cheteshwar pujara...ROFL...biggest joke.
The system has to change. Firstly we should do away froom making or preparing BALD pitches and getting used to seeing SIXES.
I have forgotten the last time a FAST Indian bowler breaking stumps.
Our won captain cool says that he is contemplating to stop playing Test cricket , but our man wants to continue with the IPL ( for big bucks ) offcourse

@ Gururaj M S: Well its true that lure of IPL has effected player performances over last few years. Younger players may not be limited to those on the bench, its time BCCI took keen interest in improving cricket at grass root level to prepare a stronger team for the future.
@ Deepak Karthik: Thank you for your comments. I hoping too that moe youngsters like Yadav come forth and deliver good performances.
