Indian Cricket travails

After Team India’s fiasco at the World Cup, criticisms were evident to come from cricketing and non-cricketing fraternity. In a write up by Infosys chief Narayan Murthy has lambasted Indian cricket team’s lackadaisical attitude at the World Cup and furthermore has suggested few mantras for Indian cricket.
One thing the cricket fans have to admit that the Bangladeshis an Sri-Lankans played better cricket than us and Team India was not prepared for the bigger challenge. It is easy for one to comment or criticise and point out loopholes because saying is much easier than implementing anything into action. Now, the course of action by the think tank of Indian cricket should be taking decisions keeping in mind a long term solution. The funny part is that according to cricket pundits the reason for India’s debacle was, the players are more committed towards endorsing products rather slogging out in the field.
But, the critics tend to forget that the cricketers endorse when they are off and moreover they are professionals, who know which is more serious a job, endorsements or playing for the country. Cricket is a game of uncertainty where the match can turn in the next ball, therefore it will be impartial to always hold the players responsible for a failure.
