Debacle of Indian cricket.

India lost to australia!!!! Nothing new, nothing to surprise a sane man but really something which compels us to broach the age-old topic "Can India win without Sachin"----- the success of the Indian cricket team last year with as well as without significant contributions from the bat of 'Little master' made many including myself to belive that India can indeed win without sachin. In fact, some people were dumb enough to say that Indian team is full of many young sachins like sehwag and yuvraj. But, as I have always said one should not hurry in arriving at conclusions so fast and the dismal batting performance of Indian tigers (including The ROYAL BENGAL TIGER) adds authenticity to my statement. The need of the hour is to reinvent the confidence in the team, some senior players need to take a serious responsibility and need to spend some time in the middle. At the same time, the youngsters like sehwag need to regain thelost confidence. You can not say him at this hour that your technique is flawed or you need better hand eye co-ordination etc. This is mere rhetoric and we all know that he is a class stroke player.

Let us not blame the umpires for the debacle we all witnessed in this first test since we all know that such umpiring mistakes are a part of the game and need to be taken in spirit. Bhajji was the only one who proved his might well. Let us hope next match, we wont be disappointed to say 'we wasted five days of our life'. sorry, the post is delayed by a few days.
