It was not a surprise that India lost the crucial match against Autralia.I think it was a deliberatly taken defeat!! Our so called "Men in Blue" are no more interested in playing but are more interested in doing ads. So by losing the crucial match against Australia, and for that matter, making losing losing a habit, is moreover so that they can spend more time in studios and shooting of Ad films! That is more money with less hardwork. They don't have to spend hours standing in the hot sun for doing those ads as they have to stand while playing! So by losing.....they just get that extra time.....which they can spend in studios.
In my opinion, to make India world - beaters, first and foremost the players should be banned from doing any ads. Secondly, they should also be banned from using their mobile phones when they are undergoing their training! Playing is their duty! And using mobiles on duty, is always a risky thing,it affects performance! And thirdly,they should not have a fixed pay, but their pay should be based on their performance! I guess by doing these three things, the performance and picture of Indian Cricket will change, and it will change for better!
