OLD MEN in cricket

The Indian Test Cricket Team is full of OLD Men and it is time for them to GIVE WAY. Unfortunately no one likes to give up even when they stutter and totter on their way to their crickting grave.

KUMBLE the Old man no 1, look at his performance over the past few series and you will see that performance does not count. Instead we are asked to rely on his supposedly "RECORD". Well the record is great but it is worn out and needs to be replaced. Kumble should set an example by putting in his papers immediately.
This will inspire Laxman, Tendulkar to follow.

Sourav Ganguly meanwhile is setting the stage for a political career by appealing to the Bengali sense of justice by saying he was discriminated against. But then if you look it the other way - he has heaped injustice against a Bengal player Saurabh Tiwari (and the India team as a whole) by staying too long.

In the end it is just not how good these people are but then how good will be Suresh Raina, Viraat kohli, Rohit Sharma, Saurabh Tiwari and amit Mishra in their places.
