Defeats of such huge margins unfortunately destroy the morale and confidence of the entire team. After that, the players just give up and don't even try in the next test matches.
Such pattern was observed by India when they toured Australia in december of 1999. They lost the 1st test by 180 runs, the second test by 285 runs and the 3rd test was lost by an innings and 137 runs.
West Indies, Pakistan, and many other countries who toured Australia have shown similar patterns -- after 1st huge defeat, they completely give up.
The indian team came with lots of confidence and determintation but now that will not be there in the second test.
What can be done to avoid the Indian team going into a mode of extreme depression and mental drainout against Australia?
