Points of Failure
by Tanuj Sood on Mar 26, 2007 01:07 PM

I believe point of failure were: -



Attitude!

Superbly cautious attutude against Bangladesh

giving away too many runs in the last 10 overs to Sri Lanka despite a good start given by the bowlers.

Extremely Sloppy Fielding

Batsmen think that they are on the ground to hit only fours and sixes.

They dont know how to convert singles into twos and twos into three whereas Lanka and Bngldesh did exactly the same.

Lack of direction in the decisions.

No consistency on the batting order.

Overtly relying on Sehwag and Tendulkar whereas Suresh Raina and Karthick would have done a better job.

Dropping Irfan Pathan.

No self belief.

Looked bewildered on the field and zero body language.

Someone should have looked at the bowl which tendulkar tried to defend during Lanka match, coming so much out of crease whereas this bowl could have gone to boundary using a square cut shot and he gave away his wicket.

Lack of Spirit in the team.

No belief in any of the players in taking singles like Steve Waugh, Arvind D'Silva and keep the score ticking.

All together they showed us to what levels Indian team can stoop down.



As an Indian, I am not going to buy any of the products endorsed by this bunch of jokers. Lets resist ourselves from buying a cola, TV, scooters, cars, energy drinks etc etc and I will see to it that my children also dont take it.
