The England Captain Alistair Cook could,indeed ,enjoy the Birthday Christmas
Gift from India.He is the Player of the Test Series also adding more color
to their victory.
India ,especially the spinners,should take this as a good Lesson from England
for the future of India &as matter of fact as a punishment for blackening
the reputation India enjoyed all over the world, from Spinners of
yesteryears(Bedi,Chandrasekhar,Prasanna,Venkataraghavan,Anil Kumble,Hirwani&
many more).
But these kind of unfortunate happenings are not unusual in the Game of
cricket.This had happened befor in other Nations also.
What Indian Cricket should do now?A suitable balancing team of Pacers and
spinners should be included in the Team by the selectors.Irfan Pathan is a
good choice.
Crying foul against the Captain alone should be stopped.It was not Captain
M.S.Dhoni alone or a Sachin Tendulkar responsible for the Debacle.
At the moment in India, there is no one capable of taking over captaincy
except ,perhaps,Virat Kohli.But he needs a lot more experience to gain for
accepting the responsibility .The best example is in front of him M.S.Dhoni.
Virat Kohli knows better than anyone else how Dhoni as Skipper&Sachin as
a player is valuable to the Team.He had said"All these years Sachin had
carried us on his shoulders& it is now our turn to carry him on ourShoulders"
after winning World Cup at Mumbai on 2nd April 2011.M.S.Dhoni has carried us
just for 21 months now.So where&what is the Harm in carrying Indian Cricket
for a few more years?
To err is human!!Dhoni might have erred.So give him chance to correct
himself instead of blaming him&above all Scahin.
All the Best to Indian&England Teams in the forthcoming T20&OneDay
Internationals series.
It looks, the cookies wont crumble!
