i meant penalty strokes..used to be like this

I thingk that is for fouls in circle. In case of tie it is shoot outs not strokes. Aussies did get one but did not capitalize on it.

Indians dont have good stamina thats a issue. subcontinent teams rely more on flair rather than speed & strength so they find hard competing with european or korean teams. If you analyze even late comers like new zealand can beat India as they are good physical fitness.

thats how they used to do shoot outs in hockey before which is similar to penalty strokes..same thing as you see in football

i checked Wikipedia and find out that its changed in 2011

A penalty shootout is a method used in field hockey to decide which team progresses to the next stage of a tournament (or wins the tournament) following a tied game. Two methods have been used: the original penalty stroke competition is a best-of-five penalty strokes with sudden death if scores were level after five strokes. An alternate penalty shoot-out competition was introduced at major tournaments in 2011. Sometimes known as a penalty shuffle,[1] the method is similar to penalty shots in ice hockey and consists of one-on-ones between an attacking player and a goalkeeper.
