Finest Gift for Alistair Cook-A good Lesson for India


The England Captain Alistair Cook could,indeed ,enjoy the Birthday Christmas Gift from India.He is the Player of the Test Series also adding more color to their victory. India ,especially the spinners,should take this as a good Lesson from England for the future of India &as matter of fact as a punishment for blackening the reputation India enjoyed all over the world, from Spinners of yesteryears(Bedi,Chandrasekhar,Prasanna,Venkataraghavan,Anil Kumble,Hirwani& many more). But these kind of unfortunate happenings are not unusual in the Game of cricket.This had happened befor in other Nations also. What Indian Cricket should do now?A suitable balancing team of Pacers and spinners should be included in the Team by the selectors.Irfan Pathan is a good choice. Crying foul against the Captain alone should be stopped.It was not Captain M.S.Dhoni alone or a Sachin Tendulkar responsible for the Debacle. At the moment in India, there is no one capable of taking over captaincy except ,perhaps,Virat Kohli.But he needs a lot more experience to gain for accepting the responsibility .The best example is in front of him M.S.Dhoni. Virat Kohli knows better than anyone else how Dhoni as Skipper&Sachin as a player is valuable to the Team.He had said"All these years Sachin had carried us on his shoulders& it is now our turn to carry him on ourShoulders" after winning World Cup at Mumbai on 2nd April 2011.M.S.Dhoni has carried us just for 21 months now.So where&what is the Harm in carrying Indian Cricket for a few more years? To err is human!!Dhoni might have erred.So give him chance to correct himself instead of blaming him&above all Scahin. All the Best to Indian&England Teams in the forthcoming T20&OneDay Internationals series. It looks, the cookies wont crumble! SreedharanMundanat 19th December2012 17-15Hrs(IST)
