Sachin has a huge technical flaw in his batting. did u watch the BD match? He got out pretty much the same way, gap between bat and pad. He got an inside edge off the bat that went to his pads and then was caught by wk. In this match, all that SRT was doing was playing a forward defensive. He lunged forward and left a huge gap and got bowled off an inside edge of his bat. There was nothing great about the ball he got. It jagged a bit of the seam.
SL played a very well thought out game. The way murali went around the wicket and got Sehwag with a doosra was pure class. And getting Dhoni out first ball was just amazing. Murali probably realised that it takes Dhoni sometime to get his eyes in, so the first ball was full, fast and straight and Dhoni had no answer. And add to that Dravid getting Yuvraj out.
I think india as been out-thought in this worldcup. First BD bundled india with a great game plan and choke the runs off completely. The same thing with the SL game. I think the failure is with the coach. He is the one who is supposed to strategise. The underarmer should be fired.
So after this display, which of the things will happen?
1) Dravid resigns as captain
2) Greg Chappell resigns as coach
3) SRT retires and quits all form of cricket
4) Dravid is fired
5) Greg chappell is fired
I dont think any of these things will happen. Neither Dravid or SRT have any shame at all and would not quit on their own. Same thing for Greg. Firing Dravid or Greg would mean that people will be held responsible for their actions. But that would set a bad precedent in the cricket board about accountability and responsibility. No way BCCI would do that! So basically it is going to be the same stuff again and again until the next worldcup debacle.
