End of Golden Boys' Era..!

Indian Cricket team once again proved themselves as a better touring side in the world cricket completing a eventful series against Australia. Though the series results read 2-1 loss to India, the way India played was exceptional. Indians outplayed Aussies in many aspects of the game.No other team had done this or even strained Australia for a victory. In the last few years Indians did well in all parts of the world Australia, Westindies ,Southafrica, England and Pakistan. Managed either a win or draw in most of these matches. Indians can say they are marching towards No 1 slot. Cheers India!!

At the same time India should worry about losing 4 or 5 top players soon. This tour may be the last australia tour for the Golden Boys of Indian Cricket-Sachin,Kumble,Dravid and Gnaguly who all had done lot to Indian cricket and the world cricket. Though we are having a pool of youngsters in the bench,how they would overcome the lose of these greats is a very big quetion. Its pretty sure that Indian Cricket is going to face a tough period atleast for few years.

I cant even imagine that India will get a player of Sachin's standards. No one will forget the days he defeated the world teams single-handedly. Kumble's determination, aggression, and variations in the bowling will be missed. Rahul Dravid's sound techniques and Ganguly's aggression and great timing will be missed. But for any team in the world cricket its quite common to lose few senior players and only the way they handle their lose will make the difference in their ranking. Aussies are doing good in building new teams and as all other Cricket Fans in India, I too hope India will come out of this tougher phase successfully and the next team will defeat the aussies in Australia in the next tour 2011. All the best team India.
