This case is not new for indian team! The captains are not learning lessons...If we analyze the previous we can see lot such cases in the history..starting from azharuddin... case1:world cup held in India azhar took bowling first after won the toss without giving respect to the pitch...claiming his batsmen are in good form..result: india was out of world cup, they lost to Srilanka. case 2:World cup held in England Azhar took bowling first after won the toss without looking on the pitch...He claimed his batsmen are in good form..result India lost to australlia and was out of tournament. case 3: world cup held in South Africa: Ganguly took bowling after won the toss without looking on the pitch...claiming his bowlers are in good form, result India lost to aussies and lost world cup too. case 4: world cup in West Indies. Dravid took batting againist Bangladesh without looking on the pitch by thinking baglas as a small team and his world class batsmen need batting practice. but what happnd?? India was out of the tournament bcoz of there loss to bangla. Now Kumble too batting first in a greenish pitch says his batsmen are in good form. u tell me what is the result?? that idiot kumble have to understand even indian batsmen are not able to defeat bangla...his batsmen cant do it to south africa..without the help of pitch... atleast now..foolish indian captains..pls dont spoil our name...respect the pitch..pls....pls.. for gods sake..ur batsmen are not super natural..
