It is not right to blame the players. Earlier, cricketers would play county cricket where they used to be confronted with pace/swing/spin/flat tracks etc. Nowadays, what is our board doing.....? IPL/CLT20/flat track matches. So, how can the players play well on pitches like Aus/Eng? Not that our players dont have competency, but they need more time to adjust to those pitches.

Trio are playing even after their expiry date! Their mind may be ok, but reflexes are slow....... And definitely others have less exposure in such pitches. We also saw what happened with them.... :-))
