Playing To Win

If the people of India r to select a team for a upcoming tour i hope there is no politics i do not wish to sound pessimistic, but i wonder if the oldies r using a channel to their popularity, to see for themselves if they r loved and wanting but i must state here that the real test for the cricketers is not any strings they pull or by the size of love they generate in general but playing to win for their country if they oldies can do that i'll be more than happy.

Ind/Aus Series.

The loss of team india in the seven ODI's being played between india/aussies was huge especially when Indians came back home winning twenty 20 world cup, i repeat a world cup won away from home at a time when the team is not winning any matches at all, the loss of team india then at home against aussies was shameful, why b'coz the big three players sachin,rahul,and sourav never contributed and generally disturbed the team as a whole one has to to take in mind that the indians were very confident and proactive in their game sans the big three its time they should be dropped for the benefit of the game. Scoring runs above fifty is not just enough one has to bear in mind one has to play to win which never happened especially from the big three(tendulkar,dravid,ganguly) they look out of place and old if tendulkar scores 70-80 odd runs he is never seen on the field in the remaining part of the game, are they falling prey to off field antics of the aussies.
Indians will be visiting Australia in the near future to play cricket and they have to be very very tough on the field and off it to counter the aussie attack how will the big three's presence be of any use then.

Twenty20 World Cup.

The celebrations on winning the twenty20 world cup in South Africa, by the new Team India, sometime last month, was i must say a bit too much, for it showed power,arrogance to the hilt not all sports in the country shows this enthusiasm but since there is lot of politics and powerplay in the game of cricket that this show of welcome to the winning team is accorded, there is rivalry and stakes r high and one needs to stay ahead of the other sacrificing the game and sportsmanship.
