Captian or the coach are not the only wrong-doers. Some points to ponder: 1. Our selection relied on intermittent high-performance than consistency. Picking up Dhoni, "incomparable SHEWAG", Yuvraj and for that matter 'sachin' speaks for this. 2. What is the status of Yuvraj, Dhoni in front of sachin or dravid. These guys are un-necessarily projected as super-stars. 3. This 2007 WC Indian playing 11 was composed more of all hyped-up super-stars. Remember, it is difficult to drag a team of super-stars than a team w/ right mix of super-stars and children of lesser gods. 4. Dravid speaks of 'Pressure' that caused this debacle. Why this pressure comes...it is because most of the team members are hyped-up for their individual performance. I'm sure, whenever yuvraj, dhoni, sehwag walk in to bat....they must be primarily thinking " today, *** I *** should perform" rather than the keyword "We". Ganguly's snail paced innings in this WC speaks for it. More concerned to keep his place safe. 4. To sum it up, our indian team need right attitude than extrodinary talent. Simple anology "In any office a team size of 5 consists of 1 high experienced lead, 1 mid-level and 2 juniors who are capable of learning fast and following instructions to deliver". Our team of 11 should ideally be of such composition. On contrary we have more leaders (sehway, sachin, ganguly, dravid, yuvraj, dhoni, harbajan (yuvi, dhoni not real leaders but head-strong enough not to follow orders). 5. Lastly, the brand ambassadors. Inclination of players for this endorsements is what the main culprit for media-hype. The moment some new-comer in the team hits a furious century or wins a couple of matches, he starts appearing for items from razors to underwears. No need to mention Sahara or Pepsi that rides on this team. This has to stop for all reasons.
