Thanjk you.

Tendulker will be around for a fair few more years, the selecters see him as the one to stay on and bring the new players through while the others retire.
India won't struggle when the old guard do retire imo as we have the likes of Yuvraj, Raina, Pathan (Yussuf and Irfan), Chawla, Mishra etc. Who are all class acts and deserve a place in the team already imo.
Yuvi will take Gangulys place after this series is over and hopefully Kumble will retire and Chawla or Mishra will take his place with MS Dhoni as captain.
The future is bright for Indian Cricket, without a doubt. It may take a little while for the new guard to settle in but we have some real quality players waiting to come in to take over the likes of Laxman, Sachin, Ganguly
India will always have plenty of youngsters ready to make the step up.
1,147,995,904 live there and cricket is like a religion.
Only 21 million people live in Australia. Australia have been at the top of the cricketing world for around the last twenty years.
Quite a phenomenal feat.
On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
And the Monkeys all say Boo!
There's a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang!
And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
So it's Ning Nang Nong!
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning!
Trees go Ping!
Nong Ning Nang!
The mice go clang!
What a noisy place to belong,
Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!
The fact we make the others so jealous makes it so much better

It is amazing in all honesty.
The cricketing set-up in Australia is second to none and they are reaping the rewards of a long term programme designed to ensure a continuing production line of world class talents.
Facilities in Oz are amazing from what I have heard and clearly only the best players progress.
Unfortunately in Pakistan and India, the majority of kids have to make do with third world facilities unless they are rich enough or lucky enough to get into cricketing acadamies.
Despite that I would say there is more natural talent in the Indian sub-continent than in Oz.
Oh and guys please stop this awful bickering!! India and Australia are both great cricket teams, as with all sports success is cyclical so hopefully in a few years both of you will be a distant third behind Pakistan!!

Regarding the Indian population, cricket being a religion blah blah blah, well England's main sport is Football and they're wank at it on an international stage.
The bickering is stupid. Isn't down to jealousy. It's hypocrisy where a cricketer gets referred to as a cunt for something he was found not guilty of. Yet when someone gets referred to as a cheating lying cunt it's not fair. And it's not only one instance where the Aussies have cheated. So that's a stupid thing to say.
But then again, all Cricketing nations cheat, India, Pakistan, England, Australia.
Like I said, let the next Test begin and not get wound up buy stupid comments about one of the best spinners in world Cricket today. Harbhajan Singh....a character not liked by many (in particualr Australia fans.....and I think Ian Healy admitted that they started disliking him after the can of whoop ass they got in India when Laxman and Bhajji ripped them apart after following on), but a brilliant bowler.
