Long time, i have not had a post.
india is no 1 and chappell says its not sustainable. I don't know but its a difficult take. One thing i can tell you is that Medium to long term outlook is very very hopeful. Once Sachin and Dravid, Laxman get out of picture. tours of down under or SA will be very difficult for a while as players will not having any experience over there. The great Dravid had really bad time on first tour down under in 1999. Lanky hit 167 but he also took time to settle in batting. Dada had also hit unforgettable and maybe out of skin 144 in first match of 2004 tour. So, there will be problems. But one big thing we will be carrying is settled Openers which has, never been the case before. Also, India is sufficient bowling unit for tests. No one is really express, but on tracks with slightest help, our bowling holds. There is too much talk about bowling being weak link. Its not the case. Rather worry about batters. Once the trinity leaves the stage. it'll be a BIG void. Our bowlers just bowl on dead tracks. That's it. Two practice games on sporting tracks bring them in form. But the problem is our one day team can not bat on 'sporting' tracks. Soon, it may get repeated in tests also. Still there is a lot of hope. Murali Vijay has shown aptitude for No 3. Dhoni is fine. But Yuvi is like Eid for test matches. Fireworks twice an year. Cricinfo said this about Ashraful. So outlook is good. But No 1??? 1 line. Only OZ know how to win. Tey teach them in school. They don't defeat themselves. So still, they are tipped to be as No 1. Although not as dominant as they were.
About my life.. I am thinking. Its not getting anywhere. I sit in a cozy office. But pretty much a zombie out there. Not really sure of if this is what i should be doing. Makes me an average performer and i hate mediocrity. But, money is great de-motivator, if you keep getting enough money for the stuff you should not be doing. You feel hanged but you go there. lets see how far it goes.
Actually, I end up doing a lot of those things that i should not doing at all. Well, cut it, cut it.
