The King is Dead or atleast Dying

The undisputed Test Number 1 are on the verge of being displaced.The stay there has been shorterthen that of Australia of Taylor and Waugh or the West Indies of Lloyd and Richards and definitely shorter than the Australian Invicibles. Winning two Test Matches should be in the realm of possibility and they can hang on for dear life.However,the series here and in the West Indies have indicated quite clearly that Harbhajan has gone past the sell by date and the Indian Batting without Sehwag will always struggle.Only the medium pacers are on course to improvement.Yuvraj Singh can possibly play for a few matches but Pujara,Raina and Kohli will have to be given an ordeal by fire in Australia, the coming Northern Hemisphere winter.If we are to rebuild, it may be a good place to start.
