Current Indian cricketers lack
technique…..
Call
it a craze for the T20 format or any
other word…..but the skill of every player is tested in the longer version of
the game and most of the current Indian team lack it. In the recent past we had
quality players like Dravid, Laxman, Tendulkar…..or in the distant past players
like Gavaskar, Vishwanath, Vengsarkar, Mohinder Amarnath….to name a few. It was
a pleasure watching these cricketers bat . These players excelled not only in
india but also abroad. It was because they had sound technique to adapt to any
conditions.
The
situation is totally different with the current Indian team. They lack technique.
Some of the shots played would make Geffory Boycott hang his head in shame. If the
current Indian team tours any country now, the test matches will end in 3-4
days only with india losing very badly. That’s the quality of players we have
at present. We are struggling even at home and conditions that suit us.The board
/ selection panel has to be blamed for the rut we are in today.
Faulty
selection and IPL are the causes for the downfall of Indian cricket. Its not
there is no talent in the country. We need to give the opportunity to players
of merit rather than having the quota system in selection. The team selection
needs to be given to former players and no politician must be allowed to govern
any cricket board.
Few
harsh measures are required to put Indian cricket back on track.
You
can consider yourself fortunate if you have watched the copy book style of
Geoffory Boycott, the grace of Sunil Gavaskar, the elegance of Dilip
Vengsarkar, the stylish David Gower, the square cut of Vishwanath……
