One of the biggest news in the Indo-Aussies series was this:Shane Watson, Usman Khawaja, James Pattinson and Mitchell Johnson are suspended for failing to do their homework. But, for me this is not the only problem Border-Gavaskar series suffers with. There is one more serious and terrible error here.
Gone are those days when the characters from India and Australia used to show the onfield rivalry and the contests used to be the best You could ever imagine. The Border-Gavaskar series had started with the aim as both Countries used to be invincible at home. With Australia struggling to continue to maintain their winning streak in India. There was India everywhere at home.
Also, not to forget , it was the characters who used to make the series alive. Shane Warne and Glenn Mcgrath against Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Waugh against Saurav Ganguly etc. used to make the contest a scene of total romance and pleasure.( in cricketing sense )
On the other hand, the ongoing series is nothing as exciting as it used to be a few years ago. Aussies have struggled so far and with the scoreline of 3-0 , they have to play in Delhi for pride only. They could neither show the skill nor determination to learn from their mistakes which England did quite superbly which handed them the series. The current bowling attack of Aussies is one of the worst on their part which i have ever seen. I know that talking from internet blog and performing on field are quite different things, but still The aussies which I have always known since my childhood used to be far better learner than this. Australia looked like without any game plan throughout the series.
From my side, I am a person who have grown up watching test cricket and certainly will watch hundreds of tests more in this lifetime, this is rather disappointing.I used to bunk other important stuffs to watch the Indo-Aussies contest when i was a kid. But, sadly the mouth-watering contests are dying slowly and it hurts me a lot to write this. Today, the game has become pretty predictable and even if while I am in classes, i can tell exactly what would have been happening there in the test match. I just want both teams to bring back the rivalry back and provide us some really good stuff. But, I am worried that this may not happen at all.
I hope you all agree with me in this.
Thank you
