People say that Sachin is God… Ganguly is God of off side… Laxman is the God of 4th innings… But when the doors of the temple are closed, even God is behind The Wall of India – Rahul Dravid

I could hardly wait for the India versus Australia Test series to begin – seeing India’s “big three” in combat always got my blood flowing. True, only Dravid did the job in England. But England was just an aberration, and had they not returned to form against the West Indies?

From October 1999 to March 2001 and from December 2005 to January 2008, Australia had won 16 Tests in a row each time, with not even a draw to break the winning sequence. Those were the golden years for Australian cricket.

Indian great Rahul Dravid has demanded administrators revamp the ad hoc approach to cricket scheduling or risk being responsible for the game’s demise.

The rout is complete. The English Lions, in their own den, knocked the Indians from their perch of the number one Test team in the world.

To have dual nationality (Australian-Indian) has a bonus. At least one of your countries will win. Not so in the last few weeks. England thrashed India by huge margins in the first two cricket Tests in England. But I had hoped that Australia will walk all over Sri Lanka to lift my depression.
