Back to square one

Indian cricket is back to square one from the journey it had started when Greg Chappel took over. Team india is still strong only on papers. When it comes to deliver at crunch, they all fall like pack of cards. Many feel its the strategy that brought the team down. Nobody understands its the poor form which is the actual cause for the bad outing.

Any simple criketing brain can see Sehwag's feet is not moving. Its quite surprising to see how the genius in Greg failed to notice or help. Retaining Sehwag in the one day squad is a decision which is bound to draw lot of flak from the public. One of the best kept secrets in the world is inclusion of Kaif in the team.

The saddest truth is that we cannot pick the best eleven from a country with 1 billion people where cricket is more than a religion.
