Trinity on the wane?

One big reason why the Indians haven8217;t managed to put up those mammoth totals on the board in recent times is the inconsistency of the Great Indian Trinity of Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid. Tendulkar and Ganguly have been laid low by injuries often and Dravid hasn8217;t managed to run the show on his own. Despite Ganguly and Tendulkar playing that one crucial knock when the going got tough, it8217;s been too few and far between, and as these figures their last 20 innings before Kanpur show, India has lost out.

SACHIN TENDULKAR
8226; 2 hundreds and 3 fifties
8226; The hundreds came in consecutive Tests Sydney and Multan
8226; Before his last 50 in Mumbai against Australia, he went six innings without crossing single digits
8226; In 12 of these innings, he has failed to cross single digits
Sequence: 32, 8, 7, 55, 1, 0, 1, 37, 0, 44, 241, 60, 194, 2, 8, 1, 8, 2, 5, 55

RAHUL DRAVID
8226; 2 double hundreds and 3 fifties
8226; The best phase was between the first Test in Australia and the last Test in Pakistan when he scored both his double hundreds and two fifties
8226; Has passed 30 every fourth innings
8226; Failed to pass 40 in his last five innings before Kanpur
Sequence: 5, 1, 43, 233, 72, 49, 92, 38, 91, 6, 33, 0, 270, 0, 60, 26, 21, 2, 31, 27

SOURAV GANGULY

8226; Went 8 innings without passing 50
8226; Since his second hundred, has made two 50s and a 40-plus score
8226; Has not crossed single digits on eight occasions
Sequence: 4, 0, 29, 16, 17, 2, 5, 5, 100, 25, 144, 2, 12, 37, 73, 16, 77, 45, 5, 9
