collective failure
by sai krishna on Mar 27, 2007 11:45 AM

In the game against Bangladesh. Our players appeared lazy and complacent.They have underestimated Bangladesh. That defeat put India out of World Cup. Yes you can be lazy against Bermuda or Canada or even with Scotland but not with Bangladesh. It is result of poor planning. Players should taught to be serious and play at their best even with so called minnows. Same thing happened in 1999 they have lost of Zimbabwe in the first game. Players should produce their best even if the opponent may be a minnow country. After the Victory over India look what a member of Bangladesh Board had said, BCCI has not invited Bangladesh to Play test matches in India, only because they are minnows and BCCI does not want to waste money by inviting them. And it appears that Sri Lankan team also want to take some sort of revenge against India or they want to make favours to their ex-coach Mr.Whittamore. Okay we are out of World Cup. We are out every team in the world has got word or two against our team. Ponting said it is better Indian team must look at themselves than commenting on others. So our players and team become target of International Criticism after our debacle in the World Cup. So BCCI should now think about building a team which can win outside our sub-continet and prove everybody wrong. The comments made be Bangladeshi Board Member or Australian players like Ponting, Mark waugh,refererring to Gavaskar has actually heart the feelings of All Indians.
