Funny how this IPL tournament has buried for good the invincibility and indispensable tag of Dravid,Ganguly,Laxman and even Sachin.This ofcourse is true in the ODI context.But Raina,Badrinath could even be challenging the oldies fot Test places.So the IPL for all the circus it has been may do Indian cricket good.

These four players have been very CUNNING. they avoided participation in all the doemstic competitions, like Ranji, Duleep, Deodhar trophies.

So no comparison could be made with new-upcoming talents.

In IPL when they were pitted against these new players, these SENIORS ARE FULLY EXPOSED.

So IPL should be eye-opener for all, including selectors, and sponsors who get these 4 selected regularly by dubious means.

Still, many jokers here will say they were ONCE great. So what? Petrol cost Re.1/litre and gold cost Rs.100/sovereign, a few years ago. Old story is history, to say the least.
