Its in the mind
by Varun Prakash Sharma on Mar 29, 2007 11:53 AM

I am not surprised. India had to loose and as usual people had to react specifically to media feeds and they have obliged. But the amazing thing is that no one wants to understand the actual reason behind the debacle which has become a part and parcel of human life in India in all spheres of life.

The fact is that we are yet not out of 'Colonial Mindset'. Everything which is not Indian is always better and if it has a white skin coulur it ought to be highly superior.

Our beliefs such as non indian coach, non indian team formations and highly tolerent behaviour of BCCI.Its as very simple. If you have been a fan of Amitabh Bachhan and were given a chance to act opposite him, think about your mental state when you face him for the first time.

Now the second important point is that it is the followers who are commenting on the issue of leadership and men management and hence it is obvious that they do not have the ability to judge things in right perspective. I would suggest that we try and read the body language of the players. The fear could be seen in every gesture of theirs, they were restricted in all their actions, fact is they were not their real selves out there on the pitch. Our team has no support of BCCI. Would you not be restricted in your gestures if you had acted like ShriSanth when he hit Andre Nel for six and it was him who was reprimanded where as Andre Nel goes scot free. Imagin for once, BCCI simply informs ICC after any such episode that India will not be playing any match now, we shall not pay any match fee fine to ICC and we shall pay no penalty for television rights etc. Our players can not be fined just like that. And if you do 'Go to Hell ICC'

Just do this once for your players self confidence. Do not bank on techniques of Wrights and Chappels, they have all been practices by their own countrymen and abondoned. Do not play the formations that are not your strength and do not convert your pitches into ones that are your weakness instead create additional pitches which can help you acquire other skills.

India has no dearth of coaching talents, Fact is if we don't even believe in the strength of our world cup winner team members well we actually don't have a right to win.

Change the mindset 'Dear People' of India, so far as media is concerned they are a buch of commercial jokers with a skill of conman, Most of the people who talk cricket don't know cricket and men management. Don't even bother about their commercially inclined ststements.
