Australian cricket team seems to have had an accident evident by their limping........In ashes if they seem to be paralyzed dat is because they have lost their four major players Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn Mcgrath & Shane Warne in a stroke. New team consisting of Clarke, Haddin, Hauritz etc though talented will take their time to revive back strength Australia is known for.But here my article is concerned about atttack of paralysis India is going to suffer when Sachin, Dravid & Laxman will no more be backing up in Indian dressing room.
Lets have a look who can replace them. We will be having position 3,4&5 vacant and players knocking door are Rohit Sharma, C. Pujare, S. Badrinath, Suresh Raina, M. Vijay & Dinesh Karthik. If I had to opt I would be willing to assign Rohit Sharma, C. Pujare or S. Badrinath & Dinesh Karthik positions 3,4 &5 respectively. But the flaw is Rohit Sharma has not been consistent enough, C.Pujare & S. Badrinath are almost nil in experience and Karthik has mostly played with the new ball.If you analyze present Indian T-20 or ODI team Yuvraj,Sehwag & Dhoni (this maybe objectionable) form the backbone of team. Out of these Yuvraj & Dhoni are like new born babies for Test Cricket and they have proved to be the seed planted in the wrong land & climate area sort of thing upto now. So Sehwag will be a flag bearer followed by a limping squad. When it comes to bowling Zaheer, Ishant, Harbhajan & Mishra do not seem likely to get 20 batsman out on any pitch unless bhajji has his day.

i think u missed one names... i m talking about m. kaif. (:P)...... back on serious note, i can't foresee any of those kids filling out the shoes of sachin, dravid & laxman..... it's not just lack of experience.... if u watch them play, u will get a feeling that they don't belong there.... probably except for r. sharma..... bowling was never been india's strength and it will continue to be their weakness in the absence of their stalwart of all seasons, kumble..... and u seriously missed one name..... it's of m. tiwari.
Thanx 4 pointing out Doca abt M. Tewari, u r really right dat dey cant fill shoes of legends but question is whether they will able to withstand all dis and give us atleast an average team. yes u very rite chances of yuvraj,Dhoni, Sharma filling shoes of sachin, Dravid & Laxman is very high than any bowler filling shoes for Kumble.
