Sehwag quashes rumours of retirement for senior players – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, has quashed rumours over any retirement plans for the senior members of his team by claiming that it was only up to them to decide about their future.
The Men In Blue sealed an inevitable 4-0 whitewash after losing the fourth Test at Adelaide by a whopping 298 runs margin.
It took the Aussies just 59 minutes on Day 5 to conserve their opponent’s fate by claiming the remaining four wickets. It was another horror show for the sub-continent giants, who now have lost a disappointing 8 consecutive five-day matches outside their
home.
With such poor outings, implications will be heavy for the World Cup holders with axe lingering over their usual suspects, which include http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772.
The ageing middle-order has been criticized for their lack of runs, where Dravid has averaged 24.25 in the series with Laxman’s meager performances has seen him averaging under 20.
Their situation has further been dented with the rise of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Kohli-c2737, who remained the only in the touring party to score a hundred in the series. His rise, if not dramatic, has again posed a certain question on the selectors’ part, who have shown reluctance
in giving youngsters a chance.
However, the stand in captain was not keen to make a call on the future of some of his teammates, clarifying that it will be their own decision whenever they decide to take it.
"I clarify that there is no need for retirement from anybody in this team. And they will take their call when they need it and when they think that their time is up."
Sehwag also backed coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2011.
"Why should I blame him [Fletcher]? It's the players who let the team down, not the support staff. They are very good. They are giving everything the players ask for. They were throwing to a lot of the batsmen. Thanks to the support staff,” added Sehwag.
