Plain unprofessionalism
by Nitin Gupta on Nov 01, 2006 10:39 AM

The men in Blue or as named for commercial purposes 'Team India' and not the 'Indian Team' clesrly lacks both Ps- professionalism and patriotism. Once these players get into the national team and taste the glamour and real money they forget their primary duty that is to toil hard and play. Losing does not pinch them bcoz they don't care enough for winning, neither they associate any sense of pride with the National colors they wear. The keenness to learn, improve and adapt to the conditions is not there. They call that v have the stronh batting lineup but actually India has a very fragile line-up of record makers (on flat indian pitches only) but bunnies when it comes to the crunch or playing on bowler friendly wickets (yes! they call it that even if there is only little movement and bounce).

Consider the quality of bowlers. I think anybody who can put the ball accross the 22 yard strip is called a bowler, for ex- our fast bowlers neither have pace, nor swing and ofcourse a perennial lack of line and length. Our strike bowlers and spearheads like IRFAN and BHAJJI r unable to take wickets on crucial ocassions and yield under pressure.

India require an overhaul mentally.
