First thing first, Congratulations Team England on EARNING #1 test team spot by thrashing team India. You just outplayed Indian team in every department.
Things which can go wrong to loose a big series with bigger margins, went wrong for team India in this series… factors like; bad coach, poor team selection, poor form of key players, injuries, bad strategies, poor implementation of strategies etc. are they key factors to loose a test series with bigger margins… and here ALL went wrong for Team India.
- Not so good Coach
- The main and very vital part of any team is the quality and ability of a coach to let team know there weak points and work on those point. No matter what and no matter how good you are verbally and how good you are technically, nothing is better than teaching players practically. This is the foremost differential point between the Kirsten and Fletcher. Kirsten use to use to show them their mistakes and work with players practically, due to age factor Fletcher is not able to do it that way, and that is why Fletcher has failed miserably to lift Indian team. Fletchers failure highlights as even after being England’s coach for considerable amount of time still unable to find the weakness of the players.
- Fletcher has failed to make good strategies against the team England, which is why Indian bowlers looked very ordinary. Its not like Indians were not getting the swing like the English players, it was poor planning against batsman which made them look more club bowlers than international bowler. Again, Like batsman he failed to work with bowlers with their mind set, with their strategies, with their action.
- Poor team selection
- What team BCCI selected for important tour like English tour is a mystery. Abhinav Mukund was not exemplary in West Indies tour to get chance to play in English soil when your main opener was going to join later. apart from that selecting just two 100% fit openers for the tour was another mistake. More over one of them was newbie. Considering India’s record, India does well in test if their openers do well up front, this was the biggest mistake done by BCCI.
- Each spot has its own importance in the game. Like openers, #6 spot is also very crucial position to bat. After Saurav Ganguly, we are yet to find one who can fill in Saurav Ganguly’s big shoe. Yuvraj Sing looked promising, but failed to deliver consistently. Suresh Raina looked promising but his inability to play short ball done him miserably. One who can consider to be at #6 spot should be able to play Fast bowling as well as spin bowling well. And that player should be able to play with top order players as well as Lower order players. BCCI should look aggressively for #6 spot.
- Selecting Zaheer Khan with out testing his fitness proved very crucial in this tour. No one denies that he is very good bowler, but what’s the point selecting the one who is not 100% to deliver?
- Poor form of key players
- Drop in form of key players is also a worrying. Its very heartening to see legend like Sachin Tendulkar struggling to score runs in this series. He is looking very ordinary in this tour. Observing his dismissals in this tour one can easily identify that Sachin Tendulkar is not sure about his off stump. He is poking his bat out of off stump which is very bad considering his standard. One can understand if he is unsure of his off stump for inning or two, but from last few innings he is getting out with similar deliveries. First time in his career he looked very ordinary against the swing bowling.
- Gautam Gambhir is also struggling with the form. His footwork is not certain. That’s why he is falling over. VVS Luxman is known to play rising ball, but his technique against swinging ball never was good, so even he has failed to deliver.
- Harbhajan Singh the so called spear head of Indian spin attack has struggling for his form for last 12-15 months. He didn’t deserve the place in the team but yet on the name he got picked up ahead of other players.
- Injuries
- Veerendra Sehwag was injured before the series,Zaheer Khan got injured in Lords test, Sachin Tendulkar was suffering with viral fever,Gautam Gambhir also got hit in same test. Harbhajan Sigh got injured in Nottingham these injuries hurts Indian team.
- Poor strategies and Implementation of strategies
- This can be counted as failure of coach and Indian think tank. They failed to strategies against the players. They failed to find out weakness of batsman / bowler. They failed to play the game their way.
