Sunil Gavaskar thinks Men in Blue casual after 2011 World Cup win – Cricket News Update
Reflecting on the recent slump in Indian cricket, the former Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Manohar-Gavaskar-c91863, stated that the side has become casual in their approach after winning the World Cup in 2011.
“After the success of 2011 World Cup, the attitude of some of the players became too casual. They started behaving as if the nation owes it to them for winning World Cup which is less than acceptable,” said Gavaskar while talking to
NDTV.
When asked if the coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Duncan-Andrew-Gwynne-Fletcher-c54742 should be sacked by the BCCI or not, he said, “I support Dhoni when he says that the coach can`t get out there and score the runs. But yes, I would look if the attitude is too lacklustre or lackadaisical. In EPL or
in La Liga, if a team continues to lose then the coach or the manager gets the boot.”
After facing 8 defeats in the previous outings against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 is trailing the 4-match home series against the Poms 2-1. The final Test, underway at Nagpur, gives the Indian captain, Dhoni, a final chance to redeem himself from the massive
criticism he is facing at the moment.
Reviewing the performance of the skipper during the two days of the final Test, Gavaskar feels, “MSD knows that they have to be pro-active.”
Many Indian players have been facing problems finding their form. Falling below expectations in the first three games, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 were dropped from the series decider at VCA Stadium.
The poor showings of master batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 (despite his one off century in the opening game) have further hurt the Indian sentiments. In the absence of veteran’s Laxman and Dravid, the Indian contingent is heavily
dependent on the seniors to take responsibility.
The legendary former Captain feels that the Indian side should learn from their English counterpart, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806, in the first innings. The display of nerves from the young debutant was hailed by Gavaskar.
