Why Does the Indian Team Always Fail During the Finals

“Miles to go before I sleep, before I sleep” by Robert Frost. –It’s right to begin with this line for the Indian cricket team does have miles & miles to go before achieving success.

Strange was the day of 6-7-08 as the numericals fell in the correct order as 6 was followed by 7 and 7 was followed by 8 which was also followed by a 6-wicket haul by Ajantha Mendis.

The Indian team had lost 17 finals out of the 21 matches played where India had won only 2 while the other 2 were shared. Whether it is in the World Cup Final or in any other final the Indian team makes it to the finals but when the finals are played the Indian team tend to lose out. Gary Kirsten should look into this matter of the Indian cricket team frequently losing out in the finals and also keep all the players on equal par when SreeSanth & Harbhajan Singh returns as he will need to keep a check on these players within the conduct code for cricket and not to transgress beyond this which won’t be an easy task for the Indian Cricket Coach. Jaysuriya had proved that age is not a factor to count on for any cricketer. Every cricketer knows how long he could carry on as a cricketer.Age is No criteria for selection

The pitch in Karachi did have something in it for the bowlers and the Sri Lankan cricket team did get the advantage in the latter half and here the Indian cricket team had dearly missed the services of Harbhajan Singh. It was great to see such a lovely match on hand where both teams did have equal chances of winning.

Last but not the least the Australian players do follow a Rotation Policy and the Indian team should also have one on hand as this will give the players the rest they require and would give them the time to heal from the injuries that might have occurred during the matches played.

“Rotation Policy- Is No Joke For Certain”


Pakistan, Sri Lanka & South Africa are the strongest contenders for the 2011 World Cup while New Zealand & West Indies would be the Dark Horses to look out for where West Indies might be able to pull through as they do have the ability to “Win from Nowhere.”
