A captain is as good as his team

Tweet

Hello friends, I was watching the Ashes test series with keen interest and congrats to English team for winning the Ashes. Also as a cricket fan I will miss Andrew flintoff in the Test arena, as it was his last match in the longer version of the game. Well I have to say that Australia played some excellent cricket too in the entire tour but they definately missed their key players like Glen Mcgrath, Shane warne, Mathew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist. It reminds me of the time when they Australian team was in their peak and they were almost unbeatable. And Ricky ponting was rated as the best captain of the world. Now i c that changing rapidly. All the media is going after him and all of a sudden he is not capable of leading the Australian team. Well don’t u think its wrong to blame the captain for a series lost and a captain is only as good as his team members. It happens a lot in India too, media, people go after the captain after every debacle. Do u think its the right thing to do? Please share your views. Cheers, Tutul
