Loss would have been better

Indian Cricket team will never learn from its past. They just made the precise point I had raised in my last blog. Did they deserve to win the Sunday’s match? Once you have thrown the match, then don’t chase it. South Africa deserved the win. Earlier 75 runs were required from 48 balls with 2 wickets remaining and cricket nuts were talking about 50 – 60 odd runs win for India. Only nine runs were required from final over to win the match. India should have done better. Getting your rank on the top on some sponsored ratings is not an achievement but an aberration. This match clearly indicates towards the malpractices in the game of cricket.

With practically no bowler who can help India to win a match. India’s current team is overweight on batsmen, if you win, it is because of batsmen and if you lose, batsmen just felt short of the responsibility to score in abundance. 50-50 is also following practices of 20-20. Zaheer and Harbhajan are injured and family commitments respectively and put on rest for the next tournament. The bowlers who made a difference for the Indian cricket team were Ravindra Jadeja and Yusuf Pathan, the make shift bowlers and to some extent, Praveen Kumar, did tell us, he is a bowler as compared to the other two duds (Sreesanth and Ashish Nehra). Runs matter in a limited over match, we just need to restrict the other side. Lets see how far this Team goes with their batting prowess and bowling disasters.
