England's New find All Rounder-Joe Root

In the recently concluded tour of England to India most benefitted one young cricketer of 22 years.His name is Joe Root. In his first ever international tour with England squad to India ,he was found to be , perhaps the first person in the history of cricket,to have included in all three formats viz Test,T20&Onedayer of a Nation.He did not ,however,had chance to bat or bowl in the T20 match the just one he was included in the playing eleven.But he proved that he was a good fielder in T20 also with 2 neat catches. In the other two formats he excelled with good score especially in Test when he scored 73 runs He was unfortunate to establish his root in India with a century when Piyush Chawla routed him with an excellent ball.He was playing so well that none thought he was to return to pavilion abruptly! But he had proved himself to be a player dependable in Test Cricket.He had 5 smash hitsto the fence&one over it. Similarly,in 50 over one dayer also he shined with bat&ball .He played all the 5 onedayers against India.In all he smashed the ball to the fence 19 times &once over it besides taking three catches. What else is needed for a youngster to get n recognized by his captain,coach&Selector to include him in the next tour of England to NewZealand! The England tour of NZ starts from early February sheduled to play 3eachTests,T20s&50 over onedayers. ,indeed not a welcome news for India because the first ODI would begin on 17th February 2013&the second on 20th Feb&third on 23rd Feb 2013. England &India are at the moment equal in the same ratings with 119 ratings each though India is first in the rankings as on date, The Tird ODI is scheduled to play on23rd Feb2013. In other plain&clear words,If England wins the one day series against NZ either on 20th or 23rd February the present holding of First Rank by India would cease to become non-existent, thereby throwing India back to 2nd Rank. Had India included Cheteswar Poojara in the final one dayer at Dharamsala agaist England&won the match theremthis kind of need for a shortlife &tragedy to the first rank would not have become unavoidable!! The Captain,Coach&the selectors& the players should keep this in mind to act wisely in future according to the need of the hour. SreedharanMundanat 29th January2013 18-40 Hrs(IST)
