Will Indian cricket never learn from it's mistakes?
A new season has started-a new captain,a new coach,new tactics.
But how was the beginning?-the SAME OLD story.
The team lost 3/3 to Lanka out of which two was there for their taking but as only the Indian team can,they contrived to lose.
Will the cricketers ever display traits like a common sense&an absolute dedication to WIN?Why are they so laid back&lack lustre in their approach?
To add to this,the selectors too play a strange game of musical chairs. They are more keen in keeping the powers that be(Jagmohan Dalmiya)happy than thinking about the future of the team?
Instead of giving Dravid a full season as captain,they give him a series&add Ganguly to the team at the last minute.What does that mean?-you better win this series or you lose the captaincy.
What has Saurav done to deserve a place in the team,forget being captain?
Then they go ahead&drop Kumble????,Balaji????????&bring in of all people Ajit Agarkar???????????????
Do these men have something called VISION?
Is it not time for us fans&the media to stop hyping up this team&accept the fact that it's just a rag-tag bunch of talented individuals who can't do simple things right consistently.
As Harsha Bhogle commented in one of his columns,India are at No 7(in the ICC ratings),played like one&will continue to languish there unless they get their basics right.
