the realization

actually....me returning to this blog to post after quite some time....due to various reasons....but still I enjoy Blogger as much as I do a Chocolate-Chip Icecream.....:-)

no..no....that isn't the post about.....its about a mixed feel I have for the nation and its cricketing farternity......moreover, my blog readers wouldn't have noticed the cricket fan in me.....yeah..I am a great fan of the game.....but the last year and half....India's pathetic performance..never really inspired me to write on them....

but...now I have reasons to write about cricket though not in the most positive sign on earth!!!!....

Team India has just won its first ever test match victory in South Africa..in 4 tours ( 92, 96, 2001 and 2006)......Its a great achievement more so because of the manner the victory was achieved...they completely outplayed South Africa...

but if you keenly observe....the key players behind this victory were Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, Anil Kumble, Zaheer Khan....yeah....Sreesanth played his lifetime game...but apart from him...it has been the significant contributions from these four that I mentioned which changed the course of the game...whenever it looked like slipping SA's way....

This being a fact...consider this fact....*ironically* these four are doing a comeback into the Indian test team..courtesy Mr.Greg Chappell.....These were the four people whom greg wanted to be replaced with *young* blood.....and we have seen the disasterous results in the last year......and coincidentally...all the four have pulled their weight in this match to prove a point..hehe....

Initially I couldn't see light in the argument of my friend LNC...but I am getting to realize the folly Indian Cricket Administration have done...who knows who wants a back door entry into the team politics to ruin them????

let me not comment any further....its upto you to extrapolate these information and come to a conclusion whether we still need Greg Chappell..as a coach....

Reiterating my point.....Greg was keen and got all the four players who are experience personified - removed from the team on name of young blood to build a performing team...which we apparently failed miserably......
