Drop the non performing players
by Nag on Nov 30, 2006 02:42 AM   Permalink

I bought the series in US and am watching almost all the matches.
After watching the 4 matches (including the opener with SA/A)
Many thing are wrong with Indians, things like technique on bouncy/pacy pitches, you can not build over night,
but preparedness for bouncy pitches, adapting to conditions, basics like fielding, not bowling loose deliveries, not throw away your wicket, e.t.c so many unpardanable things are done by the players.
Above all they are not showing the fight, they were showing an year ago, its OK to loose to a good side (after all only 30% of the games are won by visiting teams in SA, exception AUS). But you should fight. SHOW some courage.
Non performing players
Tendulkar,
Sheavag,
Mongia
Raina,
Agarkar (this guy is sick, he has no brain, bowls 5 balls for 2 or 3 runs and gives 4/6 in the last ball, he does this so consistantly)

Players who delivered goods:
Zaheer,
Kumble,
Dhoni,
Dravi

Players who are OK:
Kaif (was unlucky on 2 occassions but gives his best)
Karthik,
Pathan,
Let Non Performers go back to India and bring the ones who are scoring heavily, even if they did not play in SA, at least they are fresh and will have confidence.
