With teams like NZ winning in Australia, and Pak against England in Dubai, the problem could be psychological. Teams like NZ and Pak are weaker than India. The gap between FC cricket and international is also purely psychological as well as overseas versus sub-continent
The media, players and officials have always engaged in hyping up pitches as well as discuss about the white wash like Clarke is doing. This could become a problem with India when playing in overseas conditions where the familiarity to the environment and adjusting to it can take a mental toll.
The two main areas are, individual mental toughness and team dynamics.
For a player personality, form, composure, discipline, fear of losing, motivation, positive thinking, self confidence and belief, temperament, focus, patience, will power, morale, intensity levels, fiesty-ness and anger control are personality issues for individual players.
Team dynamics in sports is divided in to 2 parts:
1. Social dynamics:When players don't get along 2. Tasks dynamics: When team cohesion affects the end result required by players tasks.
The problem with Sachin's goals like 100 centuries can affect team cohesion and team dynamics. In Social cohesion, when players don't get along.
Losing your temper is another problem with team cohesion, when LBW decisions like a player of Sachin's calibre is out.
It demoralizes the team, and the mental dis-integration is ongoing. Inspiration and emotional lift is needed as well
i feel technology has helped a lot to trumble indian classy batsmen.the english n the aussie team have worked on video footages of indian batsmen n found the way to get them out.i feel its bit unethical from the sport point of view. They continously bowl on the spots where dravids,laxman n sachin get out.they r winning the game but i feel its more of unhuman n system base game.i feel as if i m seeing a computer game.

why cant our guys watch the video of their batting and fix the problem? or why cant our bowlers exploit the weekness of the opponents' batsmen! They are very business with other stuffs, I suppose!

well who cares for sympathy,let them come here we will give them same curry. Always people say we cant pay in fast track, why cant we say these guy's cant play in slow track? Why we think there tack is better? Well Michael Clarke is nothing even 10% of Tendulkar not in batting not even in bowling. These descendents of crooks (australia was a country used like Kalapani by britishers, most of descendents are of convicted people)guys try to have self respect. When these guys loose then also they talk as if they are gr8, why we start bashing our people, where is your respect for your team where is your loyality? OH I understand you are too magnanimus, you are too secular and your praise who ever wins thats the culture you have. You have no loyality to your own people you are willing to sell your loyality

. Buddy foreigner can play slow track or not that is not a question. Our Slow track bully has to learn to play fast track.
Otherwise there is no meaning that India is wold cup winner, Indian board is richest cricket board in a world or cricket is the religion in a India.
We have to come out and solve our weaknesses rather than highlighting others weakness.
That way our team can be real No.1 team in world otherwise match fixing and slow track will give us joy and fast track will give us sorrow forever.
