Do you feel India deserves to even play Australia?

Question

That performance was dreadful, India is hopeless. India is no match for Australia and shouldn't even get to play them. Instead they should be playing the state teams. At least they would only get beaten by 200!

Answer 1

I think India doesnt stand even a chance against there state teams forget about the Australian team,Champions only like Champions.Have you ever seen an elephant fighting with a rabbit?

Answer 2

When you go into a foreign territory it is natural to be nervous and unsure as you are not at all familiar with the surroundings and conditions.

Your mentality therefore goes into a worrying state and you start feeling weak. You see that the stadium seats are largely empty and that you are not getting the kind of support you get at home.

This takes a toll on the performance. I think this plays a very large role in Indian performance at Australia.

And when the 1st wicket falls early panic erupts and the team gets scared. After that 2nd, 3rd wicket fall at low score too and a chain reaction starts.

Indian cricketers need to be brave enough to face the fight overseas. This is the whole problem.

Answer 3

This just shows that they lack planning and put the wrong foot forward. Moreover the first timers could be excused for lack of acclimatisation. Even Ian Healy opined that without at least two first class matches they will find it difficult.
While the bowlers find the conditions better for them,the batsman need at least a full match before meeting such an opposition in their home.However this cannot be an excuse for such a poor performance.But they deserve another chance.
If they still don't learn from the mistakes they fully deserve your criticism.

Answer 4

There are a few teams going through bad patches and just need better guidance. Dravid is not an opener so why he is batting there is a mystery. The indian team has so much talent and really needs someone to bring it out of the players.

Answer 5

Indians are mostly favored in the home conditions. Outside their home they cannot play anyone. if you say about t20, India didn't dominate it. South Africa could have reached the semis. In the final, if misbah had noit hit the shot pakistan would win. But aussies dominated the world cup in west indies. There was no evidence when they had to struggle.

Answer 6

why not? you know, in cricket bad times and good times come one after another. so it could be the good time for australia for the last ten years. and thats why every team playing with them feel nervous. india might feel nervous while playing with australia.

Answer 7

While Australia outplayed india in all departments in the first test, I think it is too early under estimate them as they are capable of deefeating Australia on their day..

Answer 8

Oh come on man, everyone deserves to play Australia.

We need to share the humiliation around equally! If we just kept beating the SAFAS or the KIWIS they wouldnt wanna play with us no more.

Answer 9

Dude, did Australia stop playing cricket when they were HUMILIATED during Ashes 05?

Did Australia stop playing Cricket when NZ TRASHED them in the Chappel-Hadlee series last yr?

Did Australia stop playing cricket when Bangladesh beat them in England?

Eh smarty?

Its easy to sit here and blabber than going on the ground and performing WITHOUT MATCH PRACTICE. You guys had a masterplan in place to deny India match practice and that is the reason you guys won 1st test. Also, you had the umpires on your side. Its easy to win games when you DONT PROVIDE THE OPPOSITION ANY PRACTICE and WHEN YOU GET THE UMPIRES TO GIVE DECISIONS IN YOUR FAVOUR.

Now just bcoz you dont have answer to this, go ahead and give me thumbs down

Answer 10

You should even rememberhow our team had defeated these Australians in the T20 world cup and got the 1 cup for us. If you feel so proud go to the ground and play damet
