who is to blame?
India...
India just won T20 World Cup...No.1 test team...Core players same...
Gambhir Became Coach...
Lost ODI series to Lanka...3-0 test to N.Z. ...
Pakistan
Gillespie became test head coach..
Pakistan lost 6 test on trot....PCB did course correction...beat England
Beating Australia in Australia...
Sri Lanka
Played qualification in ODI...lying bottom..changed 3 cappo... several managers...
Jayasuriya....
With almost same team...defeats England in England..in test...defeats N.Z. beats India in ODI series
South Africa...
Players leaving for County.....Quota Problem...
Conrad.... almost same team..South Africa on verge of reaching Test Championship final...
played T20 World Cup final...
In all the cases above, players remained more or less same.....what changed was team management...And Their VISION...
Sammy playing just 4 bowlers in T20 and 5 bowlers in ODI.... totally rubbish....no vision...when we won T20 World Cup.... bowling options
Gayle, Marlon,Pollard, Russell,Bravo and Sammy himself..apart from main bowlers..
Today... Rutherford 4 overs cost 56 runs....since West Indies won...no cognizance...
All teams in World cricket, trying to be flexible....those who are not..... suffering...
Even players like Kholi,Rohit, Ashwin,Jadeja Bumrah can't overcome idiocy of Gambhir...
Then why blame our under nourished ( cricket wise, when compared to India) players....
