A year back it seemed that Indian cricket team has built up very much to the expectations of the forthcoming world cup. They had beaten Australia in Australia, New Zealand in New Zealand and Pakistan in Pakistan but today their spirits are down. Indian team has always been unpredictable

Why have you put a topic about indiancricket team in mylotsection? Try and post your topics in relevent sections so that you get better response. Coming to your point.Like any other team there is a time when a team is in good form and then there is a time when the team is in bad form. Its in a way good for india that they have lost the good form so early when you think of worldcup. Now they have enough time to rebuild and regroup. One reason for why Indian teamis not doing well is the lack of bench strength. Look at the aussies. When their players get injured they call in a new guy and he performs very well creating a healthy competition within the team. Whereas in our case the moment Zaheer was out with injury we looks so impotent in pace attack. thanks to nehra for being of quality in the recent past we had some grace in our defeats. Look at our test team we still are depended on 4 players who are well near their retirement age. And mind it that they are among the playing 11 in every match. When you think of names to fall back on if these legends retire you will feel nervous. The fact behind all this is that the infrastructure in India for the development of the game on grassroot level has never been good.

Yes. The Indian team is dependent only on certain set of players and without them they can't do. Who is the replacement for Bishen Singh Bedi, Chandrashekar, Krishnamachari Srikanth, Kapil Dev etc? At present India id dependent on Sachin Tendulkar, Zaheer Khan, Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh etc. If any of them are not able to play because of some reason, the new comer should take the initiative and perform. India also needs another Azharuddin. Not that azhar who indulged into match fixing but that Azhar who started with three consecutive centuries in three tests and athletic fielding.
