Over the moon syndrome

I am surprised how the seniors like Sachin, Shewag, Ganguly can say this Indian team will win everything. Media going that way is their business, but experienced cricketers doing the same is unacceptable. This air has made our team headstrong. Winning against NewZealand, England, Bangladesh that too in India is nothing. They are facing a strong team for the first time. This would be their real test. Judge them after this series and more importantly after an away series, where our Ashwins,Jagedas have to prove a lot.

BCCI has come under new management and we expect revolutionary changes and reforms by the new team.First and foremost I would strongly recommend the new team to drastically cut down the players' salary,match fee & other allowances and reward suitably to good performers on match to match basis.Further I also wish them to enhance payments to players at junior level thereby enabling them financial backing to keep themselves fit & enhance their skills..Media must also avoid excess hype after few wins over weak teams.

Taken lightly and Not many seniors in the Test team
by viswanath n on Feb 26, 2017 08:43 PM

Test match is a test of patience, you need to practise how to be more patient rather than winning in them. Only experienced players will understand that, where are the players like Dravid, Sehwag in the team ? And Indians WILL NOT take risk when things look rosy and sit back and relax instead of imminent danger from the upcoming series. Having won against England and the poor Bangladesh have elevated each player to be on Nasa Rocket flying in space rather than on earth. And to add to that, there are not many seniors to support with their experience. You cannot play like one-day or twenty-twenty.

(Neerkoli, not king koli) is laboring now to convince himself that the Aussies will roll over obligingly for him in the remaining 3 tests !
