New Delhi: Team India is on high for obvious reason after taking an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the on going ODI series against England on their soil. The atmosphere of festivity can be felt here and even in the cities in England where Indians live in large number.
Cricket is such a funny game that only a few days ago gloom was all that one could see on the faces of MS Dhoni & Co. With triumph in ODI contest the gloom has been replaced by glee. The humiliation in the test series is all forgotten….swords thirsty ofor blood are back in scabbards.
One may may argue that this is a very conservative view and that winning ODI series in a one sided contest is no less achievement. Agreed, it is but than the connoisseurs of the game would also agree that a cricketer who is primarily suited for longer version of the game, can adjust to the shorter version but same can not be said a cricketer who is good at ODI's. It takes a hell of a lot to be a test cricketer.
