India`s drubbing at the hands of Australia:
Well India is on its way to a successive whitewash in 6 months...
First England made India surrender its no.1 tag in test matches while handing them a 4-0 drubbing in test matches and then 4-0 beating in Odis...
Now Australia is making India surrender its remaining pride with first 3 test ending in 4 days and this last one just made it to the final day.
It makes one thing for sure, atleast 3 of the 4 greats of Indian batting have played in their last tests. Dravid who did so well in England, had a miserable tour in Australia with making just 104 runs in 8 innings and getting out bowled 6 times out of 8 innings.Laxman also failed in all the 8 tests against England and Australia, with not a single century to boast of.
Whereas Sachin Tendulkar missed a golden opportunity to make his 100th 100 against WI in one days and coming to Australia with a free mind. But he chose to skip the ODIs and now his inability to make that hundred. While the Indian media has not done any good with pressuring him to get his hundred.
M.S.Dhoni has kinda lost his interest in test matches, which is seen in his batting and even in his captaincy. Lets see whether he continues to play in tests or not.
As future plans, BCCI should bring in Gambhir as test captain and if Dhoni decides to retire from tests, bring in Dinesh Kartik for him. Bring in Raina,Rohit, Virat and Pujara,Tiwary as youngsters in place of the famed trio.
Now for the Rushdie Row :
It has now become a fad to criticize people on basis of something they had done in the past. Salman Rushdie is paying for his controversial book "The satanic verses".
He has been a permanent visitor to India,but this time the muslim sect has managed to oppose his coming to India for the Jaipur Lit.fest.
