Too much of Cricket being played!!!
Players got mentally tired!!!
Too much of casualness from the players!!!
Irresponsible team!!!
Whatever people can blame on, I personally think the guys were not just up to the mark. It could be over-confidence or lousiness or psychologically down with all the injuries right from the 1st Day of the tour when Zaheer was injured and the same Test where Gambhir got injured too.
Thinking about the injuries, the situation is awful when 2 of the best players are hurt, but for some reason, I can only accept Gambhir’s injury as that was an accident, where he was hit by the batsman whilst fielding in Short Leg. But Zaheer’s injury on the 1st Test Match of the series is kind of unacceptable. I am sure for an international bowler, fitness should have been the priority in any case. He let himself and the team down and in that way, was one of the main reason for the team’s defeat.
I think apart from Dravid (except the 3rd Test) and Dhoni (Only in the 3rd Test), the overall team was struggling and obviously bits and pieces of contribution from Raina, Laxman and Gambhir in the Batting department did not help the team at all. Praveen with the bowling was far better from the rest and Harbhajan now should be seriously thinking to either figure out on how to take wickets or just stay away. There is Ashwin who can be given a chance and he is a very good bowler temperament wise and with the attitude.
I really wonder what the team will be going through with all the hype the team was deserving and they must be really broken. Even though I am broken with the series loss and also the No.1 ranking, I just pity the players. I am sure with the quality players we have and the bench strength the team offers, we just need to be focusing back and I totally like to back-up the team with the support.
And as usual CHAK DE INDIA.
