Basically cricket is about hitting a ball with a bat as hard as you can...and bowling fast and hard so as to intimidate the opponent. Indians tend to intellectualize cricket, like the do most things...build strength and learn to bowl fast..really fasttttttt..not much to cricket really other than that....Now, football, thats a game of skill and India fares way lower in global rankings...indeed ranks lower than Bangladesh in football...soon India will rank lower than Bangladesh in cricket too...I am not even bringing hockey where its now hard even to beat Korea...like Koreans dont play hockey, Bangladeshis dont play much cricket...yet India gets beaten...sad...India needs to do something..maybe spend more on Olympic events..football...screw cricket, India doesnt hv the talent for it .its clear by now !1
Chapple and Dravir could not develope confidence among players. Possibly there was distances between directors and actors in the team. BCCI' revised poliies are not good enough for improving the performance of the team. If there is power game at the top , players are not united and patriotic , their performance is bound to fall. It has become a lucrative profession in India.

Dravid is not a capable capatain. BCCI is fully responsible for such Indian defeat by making him capatain.
