After winning the 2011 World Cup, the intensity levels in team members have come down drastically. This is resulting to poor performances in England and Aussies. Even against the WI, India struggled to beat them at home and in WI. The fire within the team members was not the same may be due to age or complacency. The BCCI has to make it clear to team members either they should perform or perish. Otherwise, results would be the same.
looks like greg's period is coming again. There is a lack of motivation among the players. Though brushed aside there seems to be an apparent rift in the team. The body language of some players speak it.No team spirit. and wrong playing 11 selections.
The absence of a performance ( win) based incentivised reward system with a reasonable basic pay per month . If you get loads of money whether you play well or not, akes the players not committed to the country's honor as well as the game . Only if you win, you get money and if you win tournaments and series , you get more or less the same money as you get today, then players will strive to win and not lose .
I guess it is a combination of all.However what matters is whether BCCI will do anything to rectify it or not.They know that indian public's memory is short. The next test series that India will play at home will be against New Zealand on docile tracks which should be a cakewalk for our famed batting line up (with due respect to New Zealand bowlers). There will be many hundreds scored by the indian batsmen , "we will feel happy" - as stated by Srinivasan and of course everything will be forgotten until the next away series outside the sub continent arrives. Very sad state of affairs....
