So Finally after losing the test series, India Pakistan ODI'S are taking off tomorrow. After disappointing result in the tests few things are crystal clear.
1) Tendulkar isn't firing.
2) Sehwag has got older, he does not possess the same eye...and apart from hand eye co-ordination he doesn't have much technique... Sehwag is not a derby candidate of Indian cricket.
3)Dravid's game is not apt for one day cricket...thanks to Ganguly who made him don gloves he had a regular place in the side, with Dhoni...jolly well he deserves to be out of the 16.
4) Pathan is genial and will find no purchase from one day tracks...it is highly unlikely that he will NOT go for plenty.
5) Kumble is not selected.
6) Harbhajan is selected, though he doesn't fit in the squad, he is a ghost of the bowler he used to be.
7) Agarkar... Agar karega tau...which he usually never does.
8)Yuvraj...can anyone predict where he will bat?
9) Kaif... he needs to cement his place in the side.
10) Kartik...he will be carted far and wide and this would be his final tour.
Sreesanth, RP Singh, Zaheer Khan... please does anyone still lives who expects these guys to survive without speed!
14) Raina, Venugopal Rao...will get a look in if tendulkar and another senior player falls sick...it's a sickening thought as the two are better than the best, what use if they will not be picked?
16) Dhoni... he'll definately do well, in one out of three four games... sadly we have just five against Pakistan.
Finally Greg Chappell... till he is at the helm...forget India winning against teams level with them, and forget India going down fighting against better teams... Pakistan is a better team.
All this doesn't prove that i am un patriotic...simply that it wouldn't take an astrologer to predict where India is headed to....unless Chappell is headed to Australia sooner than later.
