http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Krishnamachari-Srikkanth-c71750 hails Team India’s struggle against England – Cricket News Update
Krishnamachari Srikkanth, the Chief Selector of Team India, has come up to defend Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in the face of the widespread criticism as he thinks that the players have done their best despite everything going against them.
Srikkanth has strongly played down the perception that the Men in Blue have underperformed against the Poms by saying that the tough playing conditions of the English wickets cost them the npower Test series.
However, the former opening batsman has lauded the tremendous bowling show of the rival team’s bowlers, who have severely broken down the rock-solid batting line-up of the Indians.
The head selector also blames the Indian batting lineup, which contains some big names like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229, for a poor collective show against the aggressive English bowling.
Talking to the media today, Srikkanth said, “Sometimes you need to accept that the other team played really well.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 played very well in the Test series and let's not forget they have the best bowling attack, especially for English conditions.”
Backfiring against the critics, Srikkanth has postulated that the selectors and the players should not be cursed after the loss of just one series. He has played down the notion that the injuries and overdose of the game have downed the team.
"You can't blame selectors for injuries. When we won the World Cup and stayed on top of Test cricket for 20 months, no one questioned us. We have been doing well for so long. In
http://cricket.yahoo.com/team-profile/England_3, it just didn't happen. It was a horrible series, where nothing worked," he shared.
Along with losing the high-voltage Test series, the World Champions have also lost their No 1 position on International Cricket Council’s Test rankings.
In their ongoing 5-match ODI series, they have lost one out of the two games played so far. The opening one dayer was abandoned without result due to rain.
This tour has proved to be hazardous for India as they have suddenly fallen from boom to doom.
