Because if it continues on this track, there is no point trying to save test cricket. Whe the experts are trying to judge players on the basis of whether they can play pacy cricket or not, then it contradicts with some values of test cricket. Because tests are often about steady and slow play.

Along with this, It was again proved that cricket needed to mature. coming back to Dhoni's captaincy. Dhoni's one tournament not successful as a captain came under so much scrutiny. Don't people go through bad patches? Though this is more a fault of the Indian obsession rather than cricket.

But the issue with Sehwag not going to find a spot because of Rohit Sharma's good performances as an opener is a good example to illustrate the general lack of knowledge about the game. Any person who has even a decent idea about the sport would know that it would be stupid to remove Sehwag from the team right now. Even if he did not have a great IPL, he is currently capable of bashing up any kind of bowling.

I am sure some may say, why I am raising this point right now. But I think it is the time to raise this too, as by the time the world cup comes to an end, the whole situation would have been forgotten.

Along with all this though, one good thing might happen in cricket. The crazy fans following the young managed to generate after India won the first t20 world cup two years ago, might die down a bit. People will get more realistic and understand that some technique is required along with being young. This is basically true for India, but along with that it does indirectly send a warning signal to other countries.

So the bottom line is, all this doesn't matter at the end of the day. Because cricket may take a u-turn.

All the speculation about why India did badly and why which team is where is not required to be done the moment a team loses a match. Time has to be given. Only then will sense enter the talks.

But the funny thing is I myself am forced to speculate by writing this piece. Which is quite soon after India's defeat
