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....
