India - The most spineless team ever!!


Recommended Posts

I doubt if one Yadav, etc could fix anything. The fact is, now we are heading for a long and difficult road ahead where we can expect quite a few thrashings along the way. Some of the batsmen, notably Che and Rahane (Kohli too perhaps) look good, but the rest of the team is only slightly better than WI and Bang.

All comes from leader Classic dhoni team. He want to be captain Cool. Team getting murdered, his face does not change, acts like in control and its all cool. Strolling around all casual and relax. This seeps in to rest of players, who also then stroll around. Players start to follow skipper all cool and lethargic We should be aggresive, in their faces , high energy, up for it. But no dhoni team will be like that. We don't even sledge anymore. Bowlers run in trying to clip off stump, no fire, no aggro. Even kohli has turned in to some weird nice guy on field under captain cool Sack his ****

Root cause is something else. I don't think even Yadav or any other bowler would've made any difference...
Yup,Captain is as good as his team,But the team personifies the captain character and attitude.Being cool and not showing emotion is all right but now it looks nobody cares.

It's the classic paper over cracks syndrome that India have. We have seen this time and time again from India. And nothing is going to change in the near future. On the surface we have a poor captain, poor bowlers and poor batsmen (with 1 or 2 exceptions such as Pujara and Kohli). Drill further down and you have administrators that only care about maximising their own profit, players (both international and domestic) that value the IPL as the most important cricket tournament in the world (even if they pay lip service to Test cricket), a horribly diluted and uncompetitive domestic system. At the end of the day, pretty much every player that comes along nowadays doesn't want to be the best in the world. They want to get in the national team and perform occasionally enough to remind IPL owners of their worth, rack up their millions, party hard until a few months before the IPL where they return to peak fitness and repeat the cycle. And the worst part is ... It's not even due to the IPL. The IPL is just the latest (and greatest) cash grab by the BCCI. Before that they would just pile on a whole bunch of meaningless home ODI series'. If the IPL were to go tomorrow, India would still be exactly where they are now ... only ever performing good enough. There's a fundamental attitude problem that starts right at the top.

And Rahane too potentially. Agree with the post.
