The Difference Between the Teams

[kubrickian]

And Swann' date=' KP and Anderson.[/quote'] KP could only play that innings because Cook completely negated Indian spinners and frustrated them with solid defence. He faced more balls than KP. Apart from that one innings, KP has looked very shaky. Swann has done alright but Monty has been the real difference.

[special K]

In the last test I say Swann and Anderson had more impact then Monty. Monty was the game changer in Mumbai. Anyway it's a bit like saying if Pakistan didn't have Ajmal or SA didn't have Steyn and Amlal results would have been different.

And why did such things not work on the UAE tour or in the home series vs SA? Team that loses always looks bad be it practice, taking time off etc.

It doesn't work like that. You are bound to lose some even if you prepare hard, but in the end the work ethic pays off.

After the loss at Mumbai Indian players take five days off. After the win at Mumbai England players take one day off and even if they are not involved in a tour event practise on their skills and weaknesses each day. There in a nutshell

Disagree, Indian cricketers are much smarter. They figured they dont have any skills to practise on. Can't blame them, can you ? This is what our cricketers did in that week. Bhajji went to several Universities uninvited and gave hour long speeches, that week. Rumors have it that the real reason he's been dropped is not his form, rather he's been arrested for trespassing when he attempted to enter one of the IITs recently. Sachin chose to work on his new book: "Losing count on failures", co-authored by Yuvraj Singh. Despite a poor history of book sales, Sachin insists to carry on. He is just two books away from completing a record 100 books. Yuvraj blamed his recent illness for his poor test showing. He still seemed relaxed, as he knows he will win back his spot in 6 months, once the current lot fail. Dhoni was seen getting out from the wrong side of his bed. Srinivasan was still sleeping like a log, on the other side - had a long night after all. In the mean time, Kohli had been pulled over by the cops. He always gets into trouble driving. As you see our cricketers have quite a busy & colorful life outside of cricket. Dont blame them for silly things.
