Is poor team selection the only reason for India being hammered by Australia in Champions Trophy?

Question

People say that Romesh Pawar should have been included as well. But one must say that Harbhajan was himself smashed today, with 10 overs going for 49 runs. So, is it poor selection, or poor bowling today?

Answer 1

Don't ever blame about the poor selection..it is also the team that should perform well..As said by u..bhajji conceded runs..he is a very good spinner for India..hope u agree..
coming to Australians, for them also..thus match is a do or die positions..as we saw how the smashed the first 20 overs...

can't say tht this is a poor selection...all depends on the players playing on that fiels at that particular time...

Answer 2

There are many reasons for India's loss against Australia mainly:

1) Omission of Ramesh Powar from the team.
2) Slow batting after solid start in the middle overs. Actually
batsmen should have tried to accelerate after 30 or 35
overs.
3) M.S. Dhoni should have been sent ahead of Mohd. Kaif

4) Failure of Sursh Raina to score in slog overs. He
occupied the crease form couple of overs without
making and sincere efforts to accelerate. His
intentions should have been either hit out or get out
and not defensive play.

5) Irfan Pathan should have been sent ahead of Raina.

6) All fast bowlers except to some extent Sree Sant were
erratic in line and length and acuracy.

Answer 3

No!!! its not because of the poor selection. Australian are the real fighters in cricket history, so now its time for all of us to hammer the 11 Indians players, did u ever remember Indians played better in a tight situation, if they score more runs their bowling fails and vice verse.

Answer 4

It was both poor selection,poorbating and poor bowling.I will suggest that the older cricket team like Ganguly,Balaji,Zaheerkhan,Gambir, should returend to the team and the new commers should go out side the team.Beacause they did very poor performance in the cricket for couple of matches.

Answer 5

generally poor management, they didnt adapt to situation and send dhoni in earlier, 20-30 runs extra could have made a bowlers believe they had chance...but indian team is not good enough at moment, batsmen not performing and bowlers just not good enough, cant believe that dravid came out and said they missed agarkars experience, when will they realise that he's a waste of time and would have made no difference whatsoever

Answer 6

no its not the selection, its the quality of players india has,
sehwag is almost done, tendulker hasnt been consistent, bowling isnt that great, there is some young talent in their squad like kaif, yuvraj and dhoni.. but surely this indian team cant compete with the best teams like australia, south africa, pakistan and most recently this westindian squad.. etc

Answer 7

Where are the match winning bowlers???.
Selection does have a part , however the attitude of approach was major difference between the Kangaroos and Indians.

Answer 8

no....the difference is that the indian cricketers are a bunch of fat pimps that indian women love such as sehwag...tendulkar...mongia...pathan....dhoni....ganguly....these players arent athletes...they are chubby pimps!!!! real athletes are brett lee...andrew symonds....michael clarke...ricky ponting....glen mcgrath....michael hussey....now these are real athletes and proper cricketers.....all the inidan players do is eat curry and become fat so that they can become pimps and all the cute indian women will come after them!!!! i can tell u now india wont beat this aussie side for years!!!! the only way india can beat the aussies is if the fat pimps stop going after the cute women and start becoming a proper cricket team!!!! all they do is drink curry and bang like a 100 women...then do some batting!!! thats all they do!!!!!

Answer 9

poor bowling
