Hi All Cricket Lovers,
Well India has proved once again - they rely heavily on few key players. The big 2 that come to my mind are Sachin Tendulkar and Anil Kumble. Sachin scoring only 95 runs in 6 innings and Kumble picking up only 8 wickets in 5 innings. India failed big time to capitalize on the starts given by Sehway (344 runs) and Gambhir (310 runs). Comparing it with SL - Jayawardane having scored 279 & Samaraweera and Warnapura having scored 243 each, it truly reflects that the FAB Four slacked. Though, I am big fan of the FAB Four I am honest that I am very disappointed. It was such strange to find The WALL - Dravid giving comments before the 1st ball of the series that Menis is not the real threat. At the end of the series the man walks away in history books with a cool 26 wickets.
In hindsight, I feel that Dhoni backed out of the series with couple of reasons:
1. He didn't want to fail against M & M = Mendis & Murli.
2. He wanted to prove that he can't be replaced = Kartik and Parthiv having failed behind and in front of the stumps.
3. The biggest reason being in my opinion that he is not welcome in the Test dressing room.
Lets see how the ODI series fairs. I won't be surprised if SL walks away with it too (4-1) is my guess. Champions trophy is also the other thing I feel, we might not make it to Semis. Remember out of the 3 games (Vs Aus, Pak & WI) we need to win 2.
So lets see what happens.....keep your posts coming. This is my first blog and would love to have you all contribute to it.
Cheers.. All the best India. East or West India is the best. No matter what I shall always remain the loyal fan of Indian Cricket.
Jai Hind.

Wow Good to see your first blog. Let me be the first one to comment on this.
Way to go man..
Looking at the way the Indian performance two ODIs, one wonders where Indian Cricket is heading.
I don't undermine the experience, but at the same time, i feel that there should be the consideration for the future. India is in a transition phase and needs time and patience.
These times will be difficult on the young players as they will be judged against the expectations that are set by senior players. We need to back our young crickets to perform so that they can become new legends.
There has to be a balance between experience and youth.
I fully back the experiment, although i feel that if Sachin/Shewag is not playing then it would be good to have another Senior like Dravid/Ganguly in the team.
Once again Happy Blogging
