India Down And Under

Mass Destruction!!

India down and under. A sentence that has been written by the indian newspapers quite often in the past 4 to 5 weeks. India were looking very very good in the series vs. West Indies , I think. But what the hell has just happened in Australia. They are already 3-0 down , trailing down under , and now it is looking like it is already 4-0 in the 4th test at Adelaide after Ricky Pointing and Michael Clarke's double century. By the way , teams make mistakes but India is a really very unique team. They were smashed by the Englanders 4-0 in the test series. But in the ODI format (One Day International) also India lost to them 5-0 and in the T20 also India lost the match. So , it means that India had not even won a match in England and if we also take Australia then it means that India are poor against the bigger teams at away.

Sachin Out...Again!

But would anyone know the reason for , what I call a very big disaster(s)???I guess some won't know that but some cricket pundits would know. So actually the biggest problem according to me is  - Old players. Michael Clarke before the series told that even if Australia did not have the key players , they had some great young talents like Ed Cowan and Pattison and also told that your players are always important in a team and it was proved many times in Australia.

Bashing just for fun!

But who are to be blamed?? Indian skipper MS (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni or the Indian selectors. I say of course the Indian selectors. Why does MS Dhoni have to take the responsibility for India's loss??I think Indian selectors are the main culprits of the show against injury stricken Australia. Why?I think because India have many young options. Why do not they bring on Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina when they have proved themselves to be really great test players. Virat Kolhi who is again one more young lad has always nearly saved the Indians from a very big defeat. Umesh Yadav has also sometimes really come close to save India from a loss. So why the hell not bring on the young ones??


I think from the tour of Australia , the Indians should learn a huge lesson. If they do not bring on the young ones , I think that they will not be known a great in the cricketing world ever again...
