Speechless!
India went to England with lots of expectations, carrying the tag of No.1 Test team in the world. Coming back not only being lost that tag to England but humiliatingly pushed to 3rd spot.
Whitewash 4-0!
Finally Gavaskar said something sensible
The No.1 team does not lose like this, backed up by his deputy Ravi Shastri "It was a combination of a lot of factors - injuries, lack of form. But this is a rude wake-up call"
Sachin Tendulkar came agonizingly close to a phenomenal 100th international century before a pathetic India slumped to an innings and eight runs defeat in fourth and final cricket test to give ruthless England a resounding 4-0 series win.
It seems like every Indian all over the world want Sachin Tendulkar to score a century rather than India saving a test match collectively. Everybody was praying over the net for Sachin not India.
Sachin is a great player, but he did not click in this series, and his century will not make India No.1 team again. Hard pill to swallow!
Dhoni found a new way to get out in this series, fishing with the bat outside the off stump over and over again. So stubborn he is; he will never stop playing that shot. Stick the bat to the ball swinging outside off stump, apparently he wanted to hit that for a four, it is not happening and he keeps trying. Wasted 8 innings just trying that, and by look of it; he is good enough to try another 8 innings!Dhoni’s explanation after the Indian debacle is even more dangerous than team India’s test cricket future. He was explaining about each and everybody’s injury, sick and diseases. It appears that everybody in that Indian team is sick or injured, so are they gone to England for medical attention or playing cricket match?
Gautam Gambhir played well as a 9th batsman, he had an eye sight problem according to Dhoni, he can’t spot the cricket ball!
How the fuck you sent this left hand batsman with blurred vision to face Stuart Board and James Anderson’s bouncing balls! What if a bouncer squeezed in through the helmet gap? According to Dhoni; any way he can’t see properly, now let him have his eye sight worsen by the cricket ball so when he goes to the doctor there will be something significant to show!
We must admire two individuals in this test match for their determination and skills. One is undoubtedly Rahul Dravid. Real Wall. After watching the hot spot reply he wasn’t out in second innings. It proves that if a batsman is unlucky not even DRS system can save him! The second one is Amith Mishra, not for his bowling skills but batting, in fact he batted better than Sachin Tendulkar in that innings of 84! Packed with 10 fluent fours. Lofted shots, sweeps and lovely straight drives. Man this guy got talent as a batsman, what is he doing in bowling department?
Sack Suresh Raina in next test, get another batsman (not Yuvraj please – we don’t want to give rotten potato for rotten tomato) include this chap, he will try to bowl and definitely he will bat.
Wait… what was that so called Kerala Express was trying to do on that last ball? Trying to hit over the oval or trying to hit on his own helmet? Even if it connects it looked like to shoot over his head for a catch. Oh god, who will teach him?
Now the story is over.
India pushed back to 3rd position.
Sachin Tendulkar did not score his all important 100th century.
(After failing nine times in nervous nineties in test, plus another 17 near misses with tons in One day Internationals, he is now biggest chokers in world cricket)
Sehwag’s hyped up come back did not even made a trace.
One thing got to tell you guys; don’t ever say that Sachin Tendulkar is not after money.
He is!
I have proof for that.
If anybody interested kindly let me know.
