FIRE ON THE GROUND

There you are. The young Indian cricket team did what a very few had expected. The mighty Australian team is falling apart. They are down on the mat. Guess who is responsible for it ? Yes, the young Indian team inspired by Sachin, the maestro and Dhoni, the leader. After a thrilling encounter, India got the better of the mighty Aussies and lifted the tri-series trophy for the first time. Some credit should be given to the Indian selectors for showing guts to drop senior players like Ganguly and Dravid. All the young players are brilliant on the field.It really made a huge impact on the outcome. Sachin played two outstanding knocks and they turned the tides for India. He saved all his energy for the finals and delivered when it was required. What he is doing now is probably the most difficult job. He is scoring runs as well as guiding the young batsmen to play under pressure situations. When he retires, may be after three years from now, the batsmen in the team should be good enough to win matches for India. We as a spectator must not get a feeling that Indian batting line up without Sachin is weak.Now its up to him how he fill up the vacuum that would be created by his retirement. Is it too much to ask for ? Probably not. He is SACHIN TENDULKAR and he will definitely do it.From the bowling point of view, the decent fast bowling unit has been converted into a ferocious and a destructive unit. With Piyush Chawla and Harbhajan there is variety in the attack. If you are a cricket follower, then watch out for this team. It has got the potential to become a great Indian cricket team of all time.
