I also love cricket like the rest of Indians and like watching my Indian team win, if not every match then atleast some of them.But when does this happen?I think the Indian team has a whole lot of talented player's but my reason for not recommending them is their lack of consistency and their killer instinct.They hardly win matches abroad and I have neither seen them winning matches in a row, which is the reason we do not trust them easily.Sometimes it so happens that in one match the Indian team makes 300 plus runs with hardly 3 wickets down and in the very next we see the whole team out for mere 80 runs.How inconsistent.
Why can't they be more professional like the Australian team?They also lack the killer instinct and do not have the spirit to win.They do not put enough effort to win a match.They are paid so much money and their positions are fixed and permanent if they hit a century or two in some matches and that's what makes these player take things so lightly.Moreover they rely so much on Sachin,he is a great player but he cannot win matches everytime.Ganguly,Dravid and Laxman are talented players but we cannot rely upon them because they are so inconsistent,they always play under pressure especially when batting second.What about the bowlers?Do they really have the depth in their bowling to shake the opposition?I think only Harbhajan and Zaheer have the talent and temparment to shake the opposition.
I was thinking that Indian team might win the Carribian series but again that lack of effort and inconsistency.They have dissappointed again.They played well in a few matches but in the rest played terribly and under pressure.They do not realise how much expectations people have from them,if they really felt for the people they would give their 100 percent.
The Indian team has great talent but talent has to be displayed time and again for the people to know and remember.Because at the end of the day you are remembered for the effort you put in making your team win.
