The champions
of Test, ODI and T20’s are continued to struggle against under dogged teams. The
2012 turn out to be the years to rise with new champions, as the current
champion has their way down. The change in rules does affect the rhythm sometimes,
but as the game of cricket changes it requires the strategy makers to revise
their course. One cannot win with big names but it requires true effort and control
of skills to be on top for long.
Australia
with too many changes in their captainship manages to narrow skip the common
wealth game finale, and also in series against West Indies. The Australian team
is going through a period try to find combination for solid performances as
they were known of. Although we cannot forget the efforts of Srilankan and
westindian teams which also going through changes, but they strongly fight for
survival.
Next in debate
is India, who’s bad luck continues as the arrive to South Africa, and lost
their 1st T20 due to Duck/Lewis influence on match. The current ODI
champion has almost knocked out each time they played series outside their home
in the last 4 series. Starting with the Test series against Australia concluded
early this year, than couldn’t reach to final of triangular series, again couldn’t
qualify for the final of Asia cup due to Bangladesh out classed them. While in
all Four Series India played with its full potential batting and bowling
attack.
Another team that
has flopped to perform outside its home soil. Among the Test nation the
Champion of the day is England who’s been on no 1 ranking for more than 8
months and been consistent within its home ground. As the England team toured
early this year to UEA, and Pakistan whitewashed them belled the alarm in their
ear. But once again England side couldn’t rise to the damage caused by spinner
on the soil of Lankan’s against SriLanka this time. Hearth took 12 for and
surprises the big names of English camp.
South Africa
on the other hand looking forward for the first place in all three formats, as
they Ranked no 2 in all three of them. Also Bangladesh has won the heart of
millions as the performed in Asia cup. The promising guns of Windies also
holding the way for the success.
