Demi Gods to Fallen Angels.....

Skirting the boundaries of a humdinger, India set foot in the land of colonial cousins to play a Test series that besides being their sternest test since being christened No. 1,  could be the recipe to rekindle Test cricket.

While the Facebook 'likes' for the series continue to grow, it comes on a platter that is running out of space to accommodate the historic moments that may befall.

Going by the numbers, this series started with  the 2000th test being played in the game's 134 year long history and it also marked the 79year old rivalry between Ind-Eng grow 100 tests old..And no one could have asked for a better place for this historic match to happen than the Mecca of Cricket itself.. 

The cynosure was undeniably Sachin Tendulkar, who stood a chance to shake hands with his 100th international century. Doing that, which none other can or will ever achieve in this sport. But  misfortune hit his innings, never the less, Sachin at Lord's is like God in His Temple, which is seldom observed.

Under such fancy limelight, the series unfolded.. Everyone expecting a cracker of a series..  It was the always the battle between the English bowlers and the Indian batsmen..The Englishmen looked promising with an all round battery of bowlers.. Swing, Seam,Pace,Spin.. u name it and they had the best in the world. 

3 tests down, the English not only dethroned the Indians from the #1 spot, but also made sure, the Indian tigers went back home with their tails between thier legs.. with every match, the win margin of the englishmen just kept increasing and increasing.. and now, india looks good for a 4-0 whitewash..

This is not only the first series loss for MSD as a captain, but also an indication of the dark days ahead.. India have failed to socre even a team total of 300, and on the other hand, Alister Cook, their opening batsman  scored almost a 300 all by himself.. 

Lets just pray India salvage atleast a  draw in the final test, a win is very unlikely seeing the present state of the team..  India came to England like Roaring Champions with Superstar reputation, but returning like Loosers, with bruised egos and fallen angels... None the less, We will work harder and try again, afterall, we are the World Champions..! and we have faith in our abilities..
