To be more precise, from Joseph Hoover of PTI, a guy known for inventing stories of his known. BTW Nehra wasnt on field for the 2nd half of the innings and Tiwary was the substitute. I am sure, the trainer wouldn't have asked him to do 6 rounds of the stadium after fielding for 15-20 overs. But then this doesnt change the fact that most of our fielders are sloths and need a danda to get back in shape.

Well this report below is also from the PTI - seems like the players are being made to work their arses off after all their boozing and partying in the Carribean and probably why some like Ojha are finding it tough. About time these guys were told to get their act together - the fitness levels are appalling and as cowboysfans said above, only the poyzzz would tolerate such pathetic attitudes. -- 'BCCI's strict action after T20 WC improved players attitude' PTI Dambulla, June 18, 2010 The disciplinary action taken by the BCCI against a few players after India's disastrous Twenty20 World Cup campaign has made a significant impact on the cricketers attitude in the ongoing four-nation Asia Cup here, according to team sources. A team source said that the players have become lot more serious here than they were during the Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies. According to the source the body language of the players appear positive and aggressive. There is an intent in everything they have doing on this tour and the training sessions have been vigorous with more emphasis on fitness and fielding drills. "We have seen a lot of difference in their approach. After the BCCI hauled up the players in the immediate aftermath of the T20 World Cup, there was striking difference in Zimbabwe. It has been a lot better in Sri Lanka. There is seriousness among the players," said the source. He added that there is a desire among the players to prove a point before the cricket fans that they more loyal to the nation than their Indian Premier League franchises. "The ICC T20 debacle and subsequent media backlash has stirred the players into a proactive mode," the source said. It has also been reliably learnt that the entire Indian squad got off the bus midway and ran two and half kilometers to the team hotel after defeating Bangladesh by six wickets in their tournament opener yesterday. It manifests that Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men, who were ridiculed and publicly reprimanded by BCCI, are a serious bunch, wanting to achieve heady targets that they set themselves. It has also been learnt that the team has been barred from night outs and there is big no on liquour. Interestingly, tender coconut water has replaced fizzy soft drinks in the dressing room and the diet also been decided by the team management. . It was also reliably learnt that the training regime has been player-specifically designed to ensure that all the cricketers reach optimum fitness levels before the end of the tournament. Trainer Ramji Srinivasan has been given the task of keeping the boys trim and fit at all times. Coach Gary Kirtsen, who was annoyed with the attitude and fitness of a couple of players, has made it mandatory that each cricketer, be it the captain or a newcomer, follows the strictures laid out by the team management and the Board. If Indian cricket does see better times in the future, the credit should go to team manager Ranjib Biswal. Immediately, after returning from the West Indies, he faxed his tour report to BCCI president Shashank Manohar and honorary secretary N Srinivasan, stating the true facts that were affecting the performance of the players. He had squarely pointed fingers on Yuvraj Singh and Rohit Sharma for their attitude, which the BCCI took seriously and issued a missive to the national selection committee to deal sternly with errant players. Subsequently, Yuvraj was axed from the Asia Cup squad and Rohit Sharma was specifically told to stay off liquor and work on his fitness. The warning seems to have had a cascading affect on the players who, off late, have begun to follow the work ethics and discipline of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble and VVS Laxman. http://indiatoday.intoday.in/site/Story/101976/Sports/bccis-strict-action-after-t20-wc-improved-players-attitude.html

No source , no comments .. kya hai yeh ? for all we know , they might be having fun /chatting during the training with the trainer and these jokers wrote an article about it. reminds me of Sehwag was hiding his face after losing a match. The guy looked outside for a while and then closed the curtain as NO one wants to be on the camera all the time and guess what, the news agencies made of it

Why doesn't BCCI set example by sending these 'Youngsters' back on disciplinary grounds. A lesson fro the rest of the lazy bones in the team.

[someone]

I think too much is made out of nothing. There may be some problems as the younger players are not used to the higher intensity but I am sure they are not the only exception as this must have happened to the older players also when they were younger. Instead of seeing their good performances on the pitch, our media are finding another way to make news out of nothing

"It has also been reliably learnt that the entire Indian squad got off the bus midway and ran two and half kilometers to the team hotel after defeating Bangladesh by six wickets in their tournament opener yesterday." The PTI imagination at work. Do you think the strict security protocol would allow such a thing?

[Holysmoke]

C'mon. There was a similar fear when Sachin' date=' Dravid and dada were in their prime. Then emerged Sehwag, Gauti and Dhoni. When the time comes, we will have some of them ready to take over.[/quote'] Nobody, and i mean NOBODY can take over from Sachin.

I was talking about this Mr Source After the BCCI hauled up the players in the immediate aftermath of the T20 World Cup, there was striking difference in Zimbabwe. It has been a lot better in Sri Lanka. There is seriousness among the players," said the source.

[Gunner_Mania]

You expecting Sachin to keep playing eternally?

[Roshanrocks]

must be just publicity nonsense.. how come no television channel filmed indian team running for 2 kilometers :hitler:

[Ranjha]

lol at the joke of a report of the indian team running 2 kms on the streets to reach the hotel hahahaha cricket news are getting boring these days..nothign much happening.

[Ranjha]

when they say 'reliable source', what they really mean is that its a slow day at the office and we had people at our print office make up stories and the best story maker is the 'reliable source'.

[Sachinism]

The only way to fix these players attitudes is to start dropping them. Let them know its not on, you have to be fit to be playing, otherwise stick to domestic cricket

[Ranjha]

ban ipl. problem solved.
