The Story of Subversion
As I have started writing this post, fortune of two teams are changing in European sub-continent side by side. Being an avid cricket lover (Jingoism involved), I was expecting a good contest in this second test match. I knew that there will be some rigidness in the first match as per the conditions & preparation, so the outcome didn't affected me a lot.
I was pretty much positive about the turnaround for Team India in this second Test Match. And there were glimpses of the same at least till the end of 2nd day's play. India was on top, England was to lose this match. But unexpectedly I am now writing about India's loss. Not only the match but also the honor being of rank 1. England has with lots of effort used the "Trent Bridge" to climb to position 1 and throw the undeserved from there.
Yes Dhoni and his team no more deserve the rank 1 in Test Versions of the play. Its crystal clear that India has played pathetically till now, there are no batsman to pile up runs( yes despite having tendulkars & laxmans & dhonis in squad). There are no bowlers with killer instinct (There were some glimpses of good performance though). But the fact is fact, even England's bowlers have played like true batsman (They have prepared for this series I guess) apart from tearing Indian lineup with the leather and batsmen are very much at their best.
There is now no or little hope for the remainder of the series. I am down I am upset.
