Cricket Losses
So we lost again !! After the high of T20 winning the low of losing series to Australia came very early and it really is not a loss but a thrashing going down 4 -1 in 5th match of the series (thank god it rained otherwise it could very easily be 5-1) . So what is the cause of the this loss , it looks like it has more to do with the system then the talent as we win more by chance then by surety . Why is that the richest board in the world cant produce a consistent performing team ? According to Imran Khan subcontinent doesn’t have proper cricket structure and domestic league is not very competitive so players coming out are talented but not mentally tough so we have good shot makers but not mentally tough players and Australia have the best league so better mentally tough players , this looks to be a correct explanation of the problem as per me , considering the number of close matches we have lost making winning T20 an exception .
Hopefully BCCI will funnel some money in making domestic league competitive then creating academies like one in Rajasthan with Chappel as helm and one in Bangalore with Dave Whatmore as helm . What we need is competitive players not great shot makers and btw what does Niranjan Shah knows about team composition when he makes comments like ” Ganguly doesn’t fit in team composition so he has been left out”
