The Unravelling

The team that beat Australia 3-1 in Australia wer surely the favourites.Come the Nat West Series and India will be the favourites. Afterall, the English lost the ODI series 1-6 to Australia and lost to Ireland in the World Cup.India now represents a stage where the gen next have not arrived in Tests though they have in ODIs.We don't really hear of exciting talents from the four day game.Rajasthan are our National Champions and not a single player from Rahjasthan are in the India set up.This is what is worrying.The Test team do not have an adequate back up.No Broad to take over from Flintoff.Remove the five famous batsmen from the team and we could be competing with Zimbabwe and Bangladesh.After all had Dravid and Laxman not pulled their weight West Indies could have won.If only the West Indies could play with four quicks nad Bishoo they can beat the Indian team this winter.That will be the unravelling of the Indian team made champions at home by Tendulkar and Kumble.
