Only http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607 to be praised in Manager’s report –
Cricket News update
In spite of the poor performance on the field by the Indian Little Master, Sachin Tendulkar, the team ‘manager’ is going to be full of praise for him in his report. Sachin being an experienced senior player had played a fatherly role in mending the fences
with the warring factions within the Indian team during the tour of Australia.
The recently concluded tri-series in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 had seen the Indian team fail to reach the final. This has invited bitter criticism from the public and the media on the deteriorating performances of the team, almost a year after the Asian nation lifted the
Cricket World Cup in 2011.
The former Indian coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gregory-Stephen-Chappell-c60820 commented on the team in the following words: “It was obvious from the start of the tour that the Indians weren't really interested in Test cricket”.
These words are pretty harsh from a person who was once coach of the Men in Blue.
The controversies brewing up within the team are taking a toll as well. In these circumstances, Sachin reportedly played the role of a mediator to resolve the issues between the senior players who did not see eye to eye.
When the team appeared to have split, Tendulkar remained unbiased and tried his best to keep the players united. The rivalry between Captain Mahendra Dhoni and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 adversely affected the performances of the team on many occasions.
The ongoing controversies in the team do not augur well for Indian cricket. The fissures in the national side, apparently due to the folly of a few individuals are bringing a bad name to the country and the team itself.
While, the Dhoni- Sehwag rift has already done enough damage, another controversy might be in the offing. The Indian batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 who was earlier earmarked as the next Captain, is reportedly unhappy over Virat Kohli’s elevation to the vice captain’s
slot.
This was confirmed by the outgoing senior player http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229 who had advised Gautam to take the board’s decision in a sporting manner. However, Gambhir is reportedly sad over the decision and according to one source:” Now, they don't even see eye-to-eye”.
The Indian cricket officials should immediately take the necessary steps to rectify the unpleasant situation, as it could have dire repercussions on the results of the team.
