It’s not the Seniors or Juniors that is the reason for the failure in Australia & England. It’s because the combined standard of the Aus/Eng players is better than that of India. But our Indian commentators will not agree this. Indians have never been good performers in Australia, SA, NZ etc… At the most, the margins of defeat made the difference between various overseas tours. The main reason is that Indian batsman cannot play more than (140 KMS/Hr fast bowling in India) 135 Kms pace in Bouncy tracks. Also, the Indian team for the last 10 years also cannot handle even spinners like Danish Kaneria, Panesar, even Brade Hodge etc.. less to speak about Swann, Muralitharan etc. Since, in the 90’s when even Vinod Kambli hit Warne, Warne was not considered great. But, in the later stages, Warne too became dificult to handle, but our media & foolish fans will talk only the old 90’s story. Even in Indian pitches, the same Youngistans were not able to play and were only dancing against Kemor Roach’s pace . Against, bowling speeds of less than 130 KMS/hr, our greats will trash the opposition and against great spinners like Marlon Samuels, Kevin Pieterson, Duminy etc… and Gavaskar, Shastry, Harsha Bhogle, manjrekar, Siddhu etc will continue to sing preaises which will be endorsed/nodded wildely by WASIM AKRAM since his bread and butter is in singing praises for the Indian team. So, the problem with the Indian team is not lack of

So, the problem with the Indian team is not lack of form or fitness, Unity, Harmony etc etc… Add to Dhoni’s luck evaporating and his captain cool image is boiling, we can see much super performances in Australia. To win in ODI matches, particularly in difficult conditions like Australia , the key is in taking singles, rotating the strike and not in hitting mad sixes with cross batted shots. India pitches are suited for these types of shots where even a mishit goes for a six, unlike in Austalia, England, NZ, where only a better technique matters. Since our greats (Youngistans & Mongistans) are grown up in playing in the front foot always due to the easy batting dusty pitches in India, they cannot play in the backfoot in foreign conditions, cannot play the pull shot efficiently, nor can play square of the wicket on both the sides. Also, playing in the V-area with the straight bat is considered technically sound by our experts which wont fetch any quick runs in ODI. This is the basic reason for Indian players failure in bouncy tracks.

But, when the same team comes to India, everyone will regain their form immediately and the same team will create many more wonderful records. Remember that the same Sewhag hit 219 in ODI just a few months ago & our youngistans like Koli, Raina, Jajeja, Rohit was considered greatest in the world playing at ease in these tailor made useless batting indian pitches.
To summarise is the great egoistic nature of our seniors vs juniors with Dhoni being the master politician leading to the great results. But, at the end of the day/series, the consoling factor/expert comment is that FORM IS TEMPROARY BUT CLASS IS PERMAMENT according to the Indian commentators and enlightened fans like ME. Jai Youngistan & Mongisthan. Jai HOOOOOO.
Mr.Dhongi, sorry to burst the bubble: the potential of you and your T-Coffee-20 comrades is ONLY in the FLAT-DEAD-GRASSLESS-LIFELESS-PITCHES of India and NOWHERE else.
look at Srilanka, the players are doing a fine job eventhough they have not been paid by their board. you guys are taking bath in dollars and rupees, still dont play for the country. dont return to india. go and live in papua new guinea or solomon islands
Every one of you right from people to media only knows to criticize. Every player have ups & downs in their career. Indians today played the match & lost what to do? All these players have given their best in bowling & fielding department today but couldn't sustain in their batting. They don't have any confidence in the game they are playing. All are talented but they are in a situation where it has made tough for them to consolidate their playing technique. The simple solution for this is that BCCI needs to do keep less number of matches in a year. Have maximum of 2 overseas & 2 home series. That's it. Rest of the time make the players go into some kind of training sessions where they can improve their batting & bowling technique. This will keep the player's body fresh & also they can improve their batting & bowling skills, which will boost their confidence. BCCI must realize that cricket is not just for commercial purpose by making the players play in numerous tournaments including IPL, CL etc. They need to treat cricketers in proper manner. They are human beings not a machine. It is pity & sad no one see this point of view including BCCI. All they have done is that they made cricket as the money generating machine. As a result so many matches in a year which will end up them being on losing side, after that a lot of bashing by people & the media.

See how aussies won the game today, using fraud by running him out, by blocking his run when he was batting really well and using biased umpires! Shame BCCI is NOT putting pressure to punish aussie players and captailn&to punish the errant umpires though indian players are punished heavily for small reasons! Why Put undue Pressue on Legend Sachin who has Made Fans Happy for 20 years!Can any one explain why Sehwag is retained in the ODI team though his performance has been dismal and if ehwag was playing for australia or england or sout africa, he would have been kicked out long ago! Sachin has played so many wonderful innings earlier and made us win ODI matches too, but if his bad form continues, he should give way for younger promising young players too. Time for Dravid and Laxman to call it a day and BCCI must give a farewell tests to both Dravid and laxman and Sachin sooner or later before they degrade themselves in the cricket pitches in future matches. In the interest of nation and in interest of saving millions of work hours every year in a poor country like ours, TEST macthes MUST BE BANNED Forever and WE MUST refuse to play time-wasting poverty-producing TEST macthes in India as well as Abroad and WE MUST announce that ONLY One day matches and T20 matches WILL be played by us ONLY during week-ends or Holidays in future too, in interest of our poor nation whcih as wasted billi
