Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments....

But our team always require ideal conditions to win. We've to win the toss' date=' it has to swing when we bowl. should not swing when we bat etc. Its the mindset just to give up when the going is tough..[/quote'] If this is the case, then mindset has nothing to do with it. It sounds like the team needs better players.

No, its mindset. You need better players when the players has not got the skill, talent, potential etc. But in this case we do have all of them but the willingness to fight is not there. Its more on the mental side than anything else

No, it's the players. The bowlers always need favourable conditions to thrive - as was the case in Karachi vs PAK; three left arm-seamers who bowled exactly the same way as one another. The batsmen can't seem to score away from home. This has been the recurring theme throughout 2006/07. Their mentality has nothing to do with it - this current group of players just aren't good enough.

When you always given good conditions to bowl or bat, you tend to get into the zone where you take the easy way out and always wants the condition that suits you and in the process you forget to develop or learn or acquire skills required as you give up whenever you see things don't suit you I say that its more of mental than skill. You don't polish your skill because you're never put to test consistently

Kumble is the prime example. He was poor overseas. He started to realize, he require more than what he has been doing. Its the same bowler but with a different mindset which paved him to acquire skills to be successful. You can give chance to any no. of new players but no one will be very successful unless the change happens on the mental side.
