Starting from selection committee, coach, players and finally the fans are all responsible. Selection committee, for sticking to historical data and not the basics of the demands of the situation; coach not imparting the killer instinct and committment we see in his national team - it was the minimum expected of the coach in which definitely he failed; players not showing the committment or the mental toughness which was demanded in this kind of high class tournaments; and finally, we the fans, who were partly responsible for overrating our players and their capablities and not diversifying our passion to the other games to the extent we do for cricket. As I wrote in one of these message boards just after the team combination was announced, the debacle has ushered in a sense of introspection, which I am sure will yield positive results as I guess we have reached the nadir in cricket at this point of time.
