INDIA SHOULD LOOK INTO FEW MATTERS BEFORE 4TH TEST BEGINS

FIRSTLY, DUNCAN FLETCHER HAS TO REPLACED(BUT THIS CANNOT HAPPEN DURING THE SERIES) AS HE IS UNABLE TO JELL WELL WITH THE BOYS THAT GARY DID WELL, HE IS UNABLE TO HARVEST THE RESOURCES THAT GARY USED TO CROWN INDIA TO TOP PO

SITION IN TEST. HE DINT DO MAGIC IT WAS THE SAME FELLOW PLAYERS.

SECONDLY, BATSMEN ARE NOT IN MOOD TO PLAY TEST AS THEY ARE HABITUATED WITH WITH SHORT INNINGS EXCEPT FEW NO ONE IS HAVING THE TEMPERAMENT TO APPLY THEMSELVES ON THE WICKETS, THE CONSISTENCY TO PLAY WELL IS NOT THERE EVEN OF THEY ARE IN FORM. IT IS THE SAME OLD STORY WHEN ONE IS IN FORM OTHERS JUST LOVE TO ADMIRE ONLY, WHY CAN'T WHOLE BATSMEN BE IN FORM. SEHWAG IN FORM IN FIRST MATCH THEN NOT IN TOUCH, PUJARA FAILING FROM TWO INNINGS, GOLDEN BOY KOHLI MIDAS TOUCH GONE, YUVRAJ SAME STORY AS SEHWAG, GAMBHIR, SACHIN GAINED FORM ALL OTHERS SEEM TO LOOSE IT.

THIRDLY, DHONI - HE IS THE CAPTAIN SO IT IS NATURAL THAT HE LL BE GLORIFIED AS WELL AS AXED FIRST, BUT AS A CAPTAIN IF THE TEAM IS NOT PERFORMING HOW GOOD A CAPTAIN IS HE CANNOT WIN MATCHES. HE CANNOT COACH PLAYERS AS THEY ARE HERE AND ARE GOOD PLAYERS ALREADY. THE BOWLERS ARE INEFFECTIVE, SPECIALLY THE SPINNERS, AS FASTERS HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM FOR A LONG WHILE SO NOT MENTIONING THAT HERE, HAD LET DOWN DHONI.

SO THE REPLACEMENTS LIKE JADEJA AND CHAWLA IS NECESSARY. AS WE DONT WANT BIG PLAYERS PLAYING WORST, WE WANT A ROOKIES HEROIC'S TO WIN INDIA MATCHES. ITS BETTER TO NOW GIVE YOUNGSTERS MORE TIME IN TEST MATCHES. AND PREPARE FAST AS WELL AS SPIN TRACKS IN DOMESTIC MATCHES. TO MAKE INDIA ALL PROOF WHILE THEY PLAY ONSHORE OR OFFSHORE.

THE DECIDER

WITH INDIA ENGLAND TIED AT 1 ALL IN THE SERIES, THE HISTORIC EDEN GARDENS WILL WITNESS THE DECIDER GAME. WHATEVER BE THE RESULT OF FOURTH MATCH WILL DEPEND ON THE UPCOMING MATCH AT 5TH OF DECEMBER. WHOEVER WINS WILL BE RELIEVED OF LOSING THE SERIES AS THE SERIES WILL END IN A DRAW OR THE WINNER OF THIRD MATCH WILL WIN THE SERIES.

TALKING ABOUT THE TEAMS

1)ENGLAND : THEY ARE HIGH ON CONFIDENCE AFTER A WIN ON A TURNER. DEFEATING INDIA IN THEIR OWN BACKYARD EVEN WHEN THEY PREPARED PITCH BY THEIR STRENGTH WAS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT FOR THE ENGLISHMEN. IT WAS A GOOD SIGHT FOR AN ENGLAND SUPPORTER TO SEE THEIR BATSMEN PLAYING SPINNERS WELL WHEREAS IT WAS A CONTRADICTION FOR INDIAN FANS WHO SAW ENGLAND THRASHING THE SPINNERS AND KEY INDIAN BATSMEN GETTING OUT CHEAPLY. BEING LED BY AN ABLE AND INFORM CAPTAIN AND WELL SUPPORTED BY PLAYERS LIKE PETERSON, SWANN AND NOW PANESAR, ENGLAND TEAM IS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER VICTORY AT EDENS. 

 

THE TROPHY OF ONGOING TEST SERIES

 2)INDIA : BOWLERS ARE PLAYING THEIR PART WELL BUT BATSMEN NEED TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO BOWL TO, A COMFORT ZONE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THE BOWLERS SO THAT THEY CAN BOWL AGGRESSIVELY AND BRING THEIR MIND INTO WORK WHICH WOULD BE OTHERWISE BLOCKED WITH THOUGHTS OF JUST RETAINING THE BATSMEN. PLAYERS LIKE SIR SACHIN, GAMBHIR, KOHLI, SEHWAG, YUVI AND DHONI HAVE NOT DONE WELL WITH THEIR BAT YET. ANY SIGNIFICANT INNINGS IS YET TO BE PLAYED BY THE MENTIONED QUALITY PLAYERS. DHONI SHOULD LEAD FROM FRONT BEING AGGRESSIVE IN HIS TACTICS AND LET HIS PLAYERS FEEL CONFIDENT BY SEEING A CONFIDENT CAPTAIN WHILE KEEPING AND WHILE BATTING. IN CONTRARY TO COOK DHONI IS NOT HAVING A GOOD RUN WITH THE BAT EXCEPT FEW INNINGS HERE AND THERE, SO HE NEEDS TO PLAY WELL AND SEND FEW BALLS OUT OF THE PARK. INDIA WILL WIN ONLY WHEN THEY HAVE BIG RUNS, SO ITS TIME FOR THE BATSMEN TO GIVE ENGLAND THE TASTE OF THEIR SUPERB SKILLS.

P FACTOR IN INDIA ENGLAND TEST SERIES

WITH PUJARA LOOKING IN SUBLIME FORM, PRAGYAN OJHA TOO SEEMS TO BE  AMONG THE WICKETS AS HE IS BOWLING HIS HEART OUT. PANESAR SEEMS TO HAVE JOINED THE PARTY FROM 2ND TEST

THESE P'S ARE A BIG PROBLEM FOR THEIR OPPOSITION TEAMS AS THEY HAVE PATIENCE PERSEVERENCE AND SKILL REQUIRED TO BE IN THE GAME.

TAKING PLAYERS INDIVIDUALLY

1)PUJARA(CHETESWAR PUJARA) - PLAYER WHO IS IN THE LIMELIGHT MUCH BEFORE FROM THE STARTING OF INDIA ENGLAND SERIES AS HE IS PLAYING IN THE POSITION OF RAHUL DRAVID.  THERE ARE MANY DISCUSSIONS RELATING TO PUJARA'S TEMPERMENT, SKILL, PATIENCE, CLASS REQUIRED TO BE IN THE GAME. MORE IMPORTANTLY TO BE THE IDEAL REPLACEMENT OF SIR DRAVID. HE HAS TILL NOW LIVED UPTO THE EXPECTATION MARK AND ENGLAND IS FINDING NO CLUES TO GET HIM OUT AS HE IS PLAYING SPIN AND FAST WELL.

2)PRAGYAN OJHA - THIS BOWLER CAN BOWL CONTINUOSLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. HAS THE SKILL, THE STAMINA AND A WORKING MIND TO TRICK THE BATSMEN. HE HAS THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF SCALPS IN THIS SERIES FOLLOWED BY SWANN AND ASHWIN.

3)PANESAR(MONTY PANESAR) - THOUGH HE IS IN THE SERIES FROM SECOND TEST, HIS AGGRESSIVENESS, HIS WILLINGNESS TO ATTACK, TO MAKE BATSMEN PLAY HIM HAS FETCHED HIM A 5 WICKET HAUL ALREADY AND HE IS HUNGRY FOR MORE

THEY ARE STRONG CONTENDERS FOR MAN OF THE SERIES AWARD IN THE ONGOING SERIES APART FROM SWANN, COOK, ASHWIN AND SEHWAG WHO ALSO LOOK TO BE IN TOUCH.
