Big Day for Indian Cricket and Team India, As you all know today Saurov and Dravid lock horns for the First game in IPL. Team mates for over a decade and now fighting for their own teams.
As a cricketer myself, i am little worried about the conflicts this rivalry could create with in the Indian Team. I am from Chennai and I know chennai has got one of the best infrastructure in India for Cricket with structured league and well managed Association but yet we have only own the Runji Trophy twice over the years. We have great teams in I st division league like MRF,chemplast,India Cements,India Pistons,TVS etc. Since each of these teams compete hard to win the I st division leave there is always problems with in the Tamil Nadu team due to the league cricket battles.
Now i can see the same kind of issues coming up with in Team India as most of the players will be fighting for their own teams, keep this in mind that lots and lots of money is involved in the IPL format and i am sure non of the franchise owners are going to take it easy and its not like the Ranji Traphy where players mostly play to get selected in Team India. Leave alone the old horses (sachin,saurov,dravid,lakshman ) think about the kind of rivalry it could inflict between Dhoni-Youraj , Harbhajan - RobinUthappa Under-19 star Kohli and piyush chawla.
As a spectator, yes its going to be fun to watch the games but as a cricketer its scary ....

Sachin -IPL - 3rd Test
Hey,
I am a great fan of Sachin and just admire him walk into the crease. I am also sure that he is one cricketer who loves to be in the field rather than sit out in the dressing room for what ever reason it may be.
The point i would like to make is, is it correct to rest Sachin for the deciding 3rd test vs SA so that he is fit for the money spinner IPL games ? I am a cricketer myself and believe that Test Cricket is true cricket and other forms are just fast track cricket, so should a player like Sachin be left without choice but to stay out of Test Matches and stay fit for a 20-20 game ??
