Based on others commenting to my post earlier, apparently, the fab four are doing just fine and there is no need to worry about the future. That plot I don’t get!

I absolutely agree with you. I don’t know if anyone on the Indian team knows his future as of now.

Watching Kumble last evening was as painful as it could get. Here is a bowler who has served India so well in the past literally clueless on a pitch that he would done much better in his hey day. This team needs a T20 like overhaul soon…

His sequence of immediate-past centuries reads:

151*, 319, 151, 180, 254, 201, 173, 164, 155, 309, 195

At the time of writing this, Sehwag is 151 not out.

Quite amazing really even if you ignore the number of single digit scores and bad second-innings scores that Sehwag has in his record!

I agree that India is not going in with a strategic plan on replacements at all. Players like Raina, Rohit Sharma, Badrinath, et al need to know that there are long-term plans that are being developed for them. This Test was an ideal opportunity to blood Rohit Sharma — an opportunity that was lost!

Something to take away from the series. While I will avoid commenting anymore on when and how the fab four are going to move on (since I have lost the plot), I am concerned that the Indians are not going in with any sort of a long term plan as far as replacements are concerned. I honestly believe that the IPL has become too much of a distraction.
