I am so glad I did not buy the entire package to watch the cricket series between India and South Africa. After the first game which was rained out, the second one was simply a pathetic display of batting by the Indians.
When will this team pick itself up from the dumps and be counted? What does it need to do to improve?
The good omen is that the last World Cup’s campaign was preceded by a pathetic display of batting in New Zealand. Could this time’s New Zealand trip be this South African safari?

@rajesh: Yes, I have once again reached the point where I absolutely don’t care about the Indian cricket team and how it is doing.
Another loss. Could manage to get past 150 this time though. Its not the loss thats worrisome but the way they lose these matches. Its not that SA pitches are new to them isn’t it?
@rajesh: I don’t think it has anything to do with the pitches or the quality of the bowling from the South Africans. I think it is all mental, and by now, it is a state of panic. Everyone is fighting for personal spot in the squad. My only hope is that there is no rift in the dressing room, which may be bubbling up in this way. That would be terrible a few months from the WC.
