What do we make of Indias performance at Champions Trophy? We had everything in our favour home crowd, conditions that we know inside out, reasonable draw and in spite of that we ended up not making to the semis. Who do we blame for our performance- nobody except us? Its high time that we start taking cricket seriously and stop worrying about off field affairs
Team India is made up all of super stars and relies too heavily on individual performances rather then playing as a unit and worry too much about off field activities. Look at likes of New Zealand and more recently West Indies who may not have so many stars up their ranks but they always strive to do bigger and better. Our stars are more focussed about how to make more money by signing advertising contracts rather then focussing on real thing Playing Cricket. We have always looked up on our cricketers as role models and fanatically supported them all through out but isnt this high time when our so called Heroes could at least repay its supporters by playing some decent cricket.
Moving on we need rethink our strategy and game plan & philosophy and for god sake stop experimenting. We are only a few months away from the world cup and we are still experimenting with our playing 11. I think the board along with the captain and coach need to put the thinking cap on and go back to the drawing board again. May be everything is still not lost for us lets work together and make things happen.
