Last year for the first time in history of world cricket India reached to No 1 spot in world test cricket, thanks to famous 3 who have undoubtedly been on mission to rescue India and have snatched victories / leveled serious from the jaws of defeat! (Tendulkar, Dravid and Very Very Special Lakshaman :) and cricket crazy fans aren't complaining. isn’t it?
Irony is we are competing against 7 / 8 teams who actually have test standing! Yet we are happy about our achievements!
To compare with worlds sovereign states only 0.039% of nations play test cricket! Our arch - somehow don’t qualify to call themselves sovereign state is a different story!
Coming back to the point - Today was no different. The first test against Proteas started couple of days back and on day 3, in 30 years for the first time India are on brink of loosing by an inning, on Indian soil. Injuries kept Dravid and VVS out of team and new boys were expected to fill-in there shoes!
Tomorrow we might face an innings defeat, followed with possible series loss and with that no 1 spot! But big Q is "Can we keep number 1spot without our heroes?"
2010 for all good reason will be a good year - yet our heroes, who once brought smile on our face, tears in our eyes are slowly but surely walking towards end of there career!
Will India ever get to see blend of aggression, defense and timing in form of famous 3?
well written. improving day by day. Not justt houghts the way you put forth too. Liekd the last line.
