Wasim Akram anticipates a 4-0 Indian whitewash - Cricket News Update
After a disastrous tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wasim-Akram-c96292.
Just a few months ago, MS Dhoni-led Indian side was reckoned as one of the strongest Test sides in the world but it seemed totally out of sorts in the ongoing four-match Test series against Australia, and Akram has warned Dhoni’s men to improve their body
language or get ready for another 4-0 humiliation.
India has comprehensively lost the first two Tests of the series and are non favourites for the third Test as well, starting at WACA, Perth, on January 13. The tourists lost the series opener at Melbourne by 122 runs before facing an innings and 68 runs
crushing at Sydney Cricket Ground.
Akram said that the Indian team does not seem to be working as a unit adding that something is lacking in their planning and execution.
"India are seriously looking out of sorts. There seems to be no planning in the team,” said the legendary http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 pacer, who is mentoring the IPL franchise Kolkata Knight Riders these days.
“Players are just looking like individuals and not gelling as a unit. This is surprising considering the fact that almost the same team were world No. 1 just a few months back," he added further.
Akram said that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 has always been a formidable side at home but if they want to regain their world number one status, they will have to prove themselves on foreign pitches as well.
"Winning matters, but to win overseas is the real thing. India does well in their backyard but are found wanting when they play on foreign pitches," said Akram while talking to a sports portal.
Akram had predicted a 2-0 lead for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 prior to the series and it has already come true and now the pace bowling veteran says Indian defeats at Perth and Adelaide would not be a surprise for him.
Australian pace bowling great, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Glenn-Donald-McGrath-c60183 has already predicted a 4-0 series win for his compatriots.
