Waning years of Indian cricket

Three greats, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman took Indian test cricket to its days of Glory. Now they have become old and about to retire.They have not been replaced by any other batsman. Sehwag is injured permanently and is out of count. Gambhir can score a maximum of 15 runs. Kohili has failed expectations. Raina has not yet found his permanent slot. Dhoni makes an average of 30 runs. Yuv raj is just a show piece in Test cricket. Amongst theBowlers Zahir like Sehwag is generally injured. Bhajji has become old horse. Only Praveen Kumar and Ishant show some performance. So the days of glory is slowly fading out. Veng sarkar like the olden days hopes India can probably manage to draw the lords test. We used to feel the same way 30 years back.
