India’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309 claims his side has solid backup - News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 proved that point.
There has been a lot of criticism made on the Indian side after their dismal show on the English tour. The team failed to win any game in every format of the game with just one more ODI remaining.
The tourists were hopeful of a strong show coming into the series, being the World Champions and the number one Test team.
However, injuries to key players resulted in India’s humiliation. The team was then criticised for not having the backup to retain their dominance in world crickehttp://www.senore.com/Cricket/Thomas-George-Burrows-c93472.
Sharma denied all this criticism saying, “I absolutely don’t agree that we don’t have bench strength. Some of the youngsters are competing against a full-fledged England team and we’ve fought well in difficult situations. We are missing seven Indian players who were part of the World Cup playing XI.”
The 24-year-old player was also amongst the players who sustained injuries on the British tour and he expressed his disappointment over it saying, “I was extremely disappointed but certain things are beyond our control. I was the man of the series in the previous ODI series in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760. No other cricket team has had so many injuries at the same time.”
The Men in Blue did a decent job in the limited-over format of the game, but were still unable to win any. They had some solid chances in a couple of matches, but rain spoiled their party.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 was eager to win the final ODI of the series, which will give some confidence to his bruised side.
Although the Indian fans have been disappointed by their team’s performance in the recent series, they would have been delighted with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625’s award ceremony held in London.
Four players from India including skipper Dhoni, opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379 were named in the ICC ODI team of the year. This will certainly boost the confidence of the side.
