Symptoms for WC: Lankan pitches are changed much these days as world cup around the corner. Yesterday was the sign how these pitches gonna play in upcoming series or world cup matches. Luckily for India except the first match at Dhaka against Bangladesh rest of the league matches played in indian tracks. Indian batsmen need to watch-out if they play any world cup matches in Colombo, SriLanka. What was pathetic yesterday was indians were missing really a bowling firepower.
An analysis of the history of cricket shows that only two countries out of the 10-12 countries win consistently.Countries like India,Srilanka,Pakistan are inconsistent.They win one,loose the next. Under the leadership of Dhoni,initially there was hope of coming out of this morass.But later it became clear that it is not so.Dhoni alone cannot do much with many non-performers in the team. Hence the hierarchy in cricket is as below and will remain the same in future too.
First rate cricket playing countries:1.Australia 2.South Africa. Second rate cricket playing countries:1.India 2.England 3.Srilanka 4.Pakistan .5.New Zealand .6.West indies. Third rate cricket playing countries:Bangladesh ,Zimbabwe,etc.
Hence there is not much competition in cricket making it dull.The aussies reign kings for all time.
I remember when australia toured to india in 2002.Steve waug is using Indian media to attack Saurabh ganguly.Reply to this During a oneday match Dada kept him waiting for toss. Have our captain fool deplometic dhoni these type of guts i.e. will he able to answer aussies.
