Its more than 24 hours passed ever since we witnessed one of the most horrible Indian performances in cricket that too in semi final……………none of the sector of the game [ batting, bowling, fielding] India had outsmarted Aussies. Thought to keep mum about the match played yesterday…………..reading reviews and reports of the match in newspaper and internet throughout the day still cannot believe that we are out of the tournament. India’s performance came as a shock to me after being non beaten in the tournament so far. Havoc criticisms are coming to and fro, which they truly deserve. Only enthusiasm and over confidence cannot win big matches there is a word called “experience” as well which “sometimes” serves best rather than the rest of the two[enthusiasm and overconfidence]. Thats why I am boasting right from the beginning that we needed old fellows in this tournament, Harbhajan Gautam Gambhir Zaheer Khan Veerendra Shewag were absolutely needed so far experience is concerned. Nowhere the depth has been seen………………bowling batting captaincy everything seems very superficial, very vague. Losing or winning a toss is a sheer chance of luck, no one can foretell that but should have the right strategy to bind the batsman within chase-able target. When chasing a sum total of three hundred something we should have the right mindset…………..why should we let the bowlers set upon our confidence so that they can rule us out? For this one need experience………. I still remember last World Cup Final match Gautam Gambhir’s 97 run was absolute match saver. It was also a nerve straining thriller so far chasing 274 runs are concerned. Cannot take a semi final so easy where so many people’s sentiments are included 🙂 …………………..so better to call it a charity to Australia so that hosts duo can play the final match. Its wiser to say that its Phillip Hughes spirit which helped Australia to perform so brilliantly rather than blaming Anuska Sharma for debacle of Virat Kohli. Instead of playing the rubbishes[ IPL, T20 and what not] throughout the year India should concentrate on International Matches thoroughly. We cricket lovers will write for hours, analyze day in and day out but do Team India really bother to improve or they will dishearten the very same time when they are needed to be dazzled by their performance?
