The loss to Sri Lanka was not unexpected. I had predicted this in one of the columns that I had written a few days back, based on my critical analysis and man-to-man comparison. Please compare the players based on the following traits which differentiate the sheep from the goat and men from boys -
1. Commitment 2. Urge to win 3. Team effort 4. Staying low profile
Now compare each Indian player with the opposite number in the Sri Lankan side and whereas you may give between 6 to 8 in a scale of 10 to the Lnkans, most in the Indian lineup will get at best between 4 to 6.
