What's new

what are the reasons behind india's poor performance in england ?

Reason is, players commitment,desperation, for playing in IPL than for nation.

We should not allow Indian national team players to play in IPL. Only local players should be allowed played in IPL.
 
In my view the following mistakes made by India are the reasons.

1) Cause: Poor Scheduling of tour.
Effect: Went for tour with just one practice match.

2) Cause: Lack of Killer Instinct:
Effect:Failure to seize opportunities at crucial moments.

3)Cause: Lack of Quality left arm seamer(s): An area where English team (or any team) has shown some weakness in recent history. (Remember R.P.Sing's success in last series under captaincy of Dravid won by 1-0).
Effect: After injury to zaheer teams bowling department was in disarray.

4) Cause:Non Availability of 3rd specialist opener - Blunder by selectors.
Effect: Dravid was made opener and team combination was hit badly.

5) Cause: Injuries at wrong time: (to Sehwag,Zaheer, Gambheer, and Yuvraj, Harbhajan)
Effects: Absence of quality players with experience.

6) Cause: Recent Successes:
Effect: Reduced hunger for success, (the English team was taken lightly under swinging conditions)
 
I think the reasons are....

1) Too much cricket as I mentioned earlier
2) Sometimes we have to lose, every time we cannot win.

In last series against WI I opened to a thread but none was interested.
 
Its CALLED 20/20 none sense , before Pakistan were known chokers while batting now thanks to 20/20 Indians have become the new Pakistan

Too much cricket - i agree.
Sometimes you have to lose - dont agree.Im not happy or gloating when saying this but this isnt losing. This is no competition, no spirit and just not good enough when you are talking about so called number 1 team in the world. Players dont seem to be hungry. By the way Dravid is again showing this morning what is capable. He is closing in on his 3rd centuary. He is on 86 out of 153 for 6. Also Ghambir is yet again injured. Sitting in the changing room with 3 sweaters and unshaved ready to come in next. What a ponce.
 
yes.....and they fell for the local birds, and wasted their energy...
a worne out man cant play cricket..can he?

I think theyve fallen for each other looking at the recent developments with Macho Ghambir!!

isn't the selecters also went wrong by selecting RP sign for injured zaheer also when darvid was to open , why not selecters pick rahit sharma to fill the middle order..
it would be far better that dhoni would have picked match fit Munaf patel rather RP....

My point was It would have been better if RP was selected for the entire series (not all of a sudden after 2 years that too when we were trailing 2-0) considering his previous success in England, as backup for zak returning from injury. Even RP might have got a shock after hearing his selection out of nowhere. :P
In my view RP is the best choice available who can succeed zaheer, in mid thirties till we find a better talent.

Regarding Rohit's inclusion for opening slot, Though Rohit is good batsman,I think in tests opening slot requires a specialist. Sadly India doesn't have a credible 3rd opener, (thanks to selectors) as M vijay has wasted opportunities given to him, and Mukund is still a new face.

I think Munaf was not 100% fit :undecided: for last match, hence Dhoni went ahead with RP; even though it hardly mattered as the series was alredy gone and the momentum the English batsmen had already got :nhl_checking:.
 
RP hasnt taken a wicket in 650 balls in test cricket and you guys think he will help India bowl England out twice? wow.Are you telling me he is the only bowler you guys could turn to? I think there is a major problem with the cricketing infrastructure if thats the case.
 
^^Buddy Dont miss the point, Context of the discussion was regarding back up left arm Fast bowler for zaheer;

what you told can happen to the decent cricketers if one is out of International cricket for 2 years and all of a sudden put into a match that too after loosing the series.

Don't forget the combo of left-armers, RP and Zaheer Khan, had taken an incredible 30 wickets together in the three-match Test series in England during 2007 which India won 1-0.
 
BCCI failed to fix the series thats the main reason and England is always very tough opponent at home.
I hope England will clean sweep Test and ODI series.

It may happen Tendulkar just out fo 91. The quicker this series is over the better for India
