It is a joy to see the India vs Australia series this time around. Despite all the ‘buts’ in the equation, being an Indian fan, I love that we are leading 3-0. I want my team to dominate, in and out of the country. I wish we would not fight, but just trample on the opposition like a herd of elephants, create a destruction so volatile that the crater seems like a better alternative than to challenge India. I would really love that. Why? Don’t I enjoy a fight, you ask? I do! But I have seen the Indian teams being tamed by the opposition at will, that I have craved to see total dominance by the Indian team for quite some time. We have been cornered too many times and having seen it, I wished we would fight back, not in a composed elegant script, but in a ‘you are dead meat’ way. We did not have destructive cricketers until Sehwag came along. But then, like an exception, he performed in some exceptional cases brilliantly, while he failed in almost equivalent number of cases. While we had a good potential of sound cricketers who wore their hearts on their sleeves, we were never a force to reckon with, despite some bravado from the young blood in Virat and Raina. The slowly amassed victory of the World Cup thrilled every Indian fan across the world. Yet, the force of Indian team plastering the opposition is not yet there. And I want it. And despite all the buts now the equation of India vs Australia, I am happy to see some dominance in at least few sessions.
But what I really want to see, is the kill in the eyes of our cricketers, going for the neck and bleeding them dry (yeah, Vampire diaries fan :) ). Some day, perhaps we will have a bowler (I do not mind a few!! ) who will bowl like a storm dancing down the ground and the opposition will have to wither in the storm and perhaps, one day, we will find a batsmen who bats like a tornado, leaving the opposition shapeless. Some day!!!
