The system and attitude of players
by pankaj kumar on Apr 04, 2007 10:14 AM

I think its not fare to say that there was mistake from selection board. I mean how much more balanced team you can expect yaar, come on you are playing with seven batsmen and four bowlers. Out of these seven five star players who have done lot for Indian cricket team and almost all are in good form. The other two batsmen Uthappa and Dhoni they are new for such big tournaments, we can not give 100% responsibilities to new players. As we saw that after a huge amount of expectation in the end both of these did not play well, imagine we had more freshers.... Everybody knows that we are out of WC because of poor batting which was beng considered one among strongest. Now let me explain the problem with the strategy of Indian cricket team: there is no proper and different strategy for each team and in the team for each big players. I mean comeon you cant have same startegy for Aus or Sri lanka or Bangladesh if you are doing so yo dont really know whats the cricket. It does not finish here, our master blaster players so much technical than any other country's player. no problem with that but there is advantage for opposition bowlers they know your weakness they maintain the line set the proper field now you can not penetrate the circle because you always tend to play grounded shot even in powerplay. This is what is creating pressure on batsmen head now they suddenly try to do something under pressure ofcourse thet will loose there wicket. Solution is you put pressure on bowlers instead of taking pressure this s what all big teams have been doing. Another problem with few our big players as many spoke is that they are more concerned about there score if they reach 40 or 75 they go slow and there they loose the rhythm, its never in any other country.



I think these are very basic points and coach and board has to think about it and make players change there attitude. It should be done on the regular basis not just matter of one or two tournament i.e. if we win next two tournaments we have overcome the problem. There should be system to monitor and evaluate everything and plan accordingly.



I hope you agreed with my points... Please reply..
