Yet another loss !!


Let's have a quick glance of team india's performance in the last four series, on the foreign soil, of course.
·         In England: Lost the test series by 4-0.
·         In Australia: Lost the test series by 4-0.
·         In South Africa: Lost the one-day series by 2-0 and the test series by 1-0.
·         In New-Zealand: Lost the one-day series by 4-0 and lagging in the test series by 1-0.
Frankly speaking, these records are just disastrous. The 'midas touch man'- M.S. Dhoni  is  no longer remembered for his leveraging decisions on field. Recently  he was termed as the most unsuccessful captain on the foreign land after Mohammad Azaruddin, because of india's lousy performance ( 10 out of the last 11 test matches lost) on foreign land.
                                                   I thought that i would go into the possible reasons, but then i instructed my mind, not to do so. After all we are aware of the same factors again and again-Bouncy pitches, Failure of top or middle order in extreme situations, blah, blah, blah.(So you understand na ! it's a monotonous task in itself). After Sachin, Dravid and Lakshman, this was bound to happen. (But why only on the foreign pitches??)
                                                   And then we have IPL-7 coming. Yes !! icing on the cake. Why bother for the national team, when your name is likely to be under hammer for the latest season of IPL ?? Smash some boundaries, win the trophy and lament about the fact that why this one is over ??
                                                   No possible solutions this time. It's the time for self evaluation....
