Yesterday I was having a little conversation with my Swedish friend and it ended up with an awkward moment,.,.,

Swede: Why doesn't India have any famous football player? There are a biliion of you guys.

Me: Thats bcos we all play cricket.

Swede: Oh then India must be having the best cricket team.

The real problem is giving cricket too much importance. There are other sports that deserve equal attention. The Indian cricket team, because of so much money, hype and attention, over-value themselves so much. They forget that they are athletes first, and cricketers next. Preparation is everything

Truly and realistically speaking Indian people and media must have to understand and admit that they have got bunch of average players having limited talent they cant ask more then that from them .secondly its not surprising that there batsman in-spite of having thousands of runs under there belts failed still suffering from white washes the talent is that they can never be like pakistan .who is blessed with match winners in every era and out standing talented players .reality is harsh !

i think the main problem is that there media fantasizes a lot .actually if we look up to the reality it tells us that they are overrated players having limited talent and approach they were getting good results in the last 2 years after a long struggle of about 10 years but it never means that they are excellent players yes they have played some good cricket on there dead wickets but as far as foreign wickets there batsman always behaved like a patient of polio .this is the reality !

IPL is the problem.. money is the priority for several of these cricketers.

Indians are not playing bouncy pitches well ... My suggestion is to groom the younger generation.. the ones who play the Ranji Trophy .... Let the semifinals and finals be played abroad say Australia and England .... India has never won a test series in Australia .. with a population of 1.2 billion, is this the best test cricketing team you got? Selectors, are you kidding?? its time to think about new strategies.... we cannot afford to keep loosing all the test matches!!

there are certain diff in this loss when compared with the Eng and previous border gavaskar series:

first, prime difference, the aus team was weak and until this series they have never seen a purple patch this long past 2 yrs.

2nd, the indian team is the no.2 test team when it came into this series. My grandmom could tell who was going to this series before it started.

3rd, the indian team is supposed to have learnt and pumped up to prove themselves on a foreign soil after the england debacle.

India has been thrashed, crushed, banged & humiliated in Australia and then thrown in the dustbin like a used tissue paper. First india was whitewashed in England 4-0 then beaten in t20 format and then beaten in odis as well in England and now indian cows are getting banged by OZ kangaroos publicly. It just gives more evidence to the fact that world cup 2011 was fixed and IPL matches are fixed. Indians should only play inside india otherwise they will keep on getting thrashed.

And all the above, BCCI have been concentrating more on 20-20 cricket... by which it do not give ample importance for the best form of Cricket.... Overseas Cricket boards and their players did a good job by not playing much of IPL.... and defenitely, it helped them a LOT... !!!
