Reckless approach hurt more than loss

India were disappointing against Australia. What stung more than the loss was the reckless approach of the batsmen.

One doesn’t mind a big defeat, if there’s a wholehearted effort. Somehow, one got the impression that India’s batsmen looked for an easy way out, with the excuse of a limited overs format requiring attacking shots.

That argument would have been valid if they had attempted proper cricketing shots, but trying to slog fast bowlers on a hard bouncy pitch is like committing suicide.

T20 does not allow for too many dot balls, but even here common cricketing sense demands that the frontline bowlers should be seen off. One can make up for the slow run-rate when the second string comes on. But if the team has already lost some wickets, the change bowlers can get away with good figures.

India were left shell shocked by the pace of Dirk Nannes and Shaun Tait, and half the side was already out before the halfway stage. Rohit Sharma tried his best to join them, but he survived. And once his nerves settled down, he played some top shots, showing India could have made a match of it had others shown some patience.

The match against the West Indies is crucial now. India need to win it to stay in hunt for a place in the semis. The West Indians also were ordinary in their loss against Sri Lanka and their discomfort against spinners would have given a clue to the Indians.

Piyush Chawla must come back and partner Harbhajan, who was magnificent against the Australians.

The West Indians, too, would have noticed India’s reluctance in facing chin music and will look to add some more firepower to their attack. Their quickies, however, may not be as effective as the Australians as they won’t have the same fielding support.

The match between the Australians and the Sri Lankans should be a real cracker. The Australians look extremely focussed, keen to add this trophy to their collection. Moreover, they seem to be peaking at the right time. The Lankans, too, are looking sharp. With Jayawardene in a sublime form, they have a batsman who can take the attack to the Australian camp. If the Australians win that game and the Indians beat the West Indies, then the match between the Lankans and the Indians will decide who will go through.

Man learns from experience. I came across a psychologist who contended the aphorism, ‘No. We make the same mistakes over and over again. It is intrinsic to our nature that instead of learning a lesson for good we always wish to verify. If man could learn from experience why would he go to war the way he keeps going.'

Bat first? It is much more important that you bat, whenever you get to it. If you do not do your bit, the dressing room is no sanctuary and next man will not want your job on his lap.

A vaunted batting line up! It had only two double digit scores and Harbhajan as its second highest scorer. Sub-continental batsmen, bar perhaps the Sri Lankans are always inclined to hit their way out of trouble.

Statistically minded could dig up enough 20-20 instances to stress India are not the best chasers. To me it was a revisit to Ganguly’s infamous decision to ask Ponting and co to bat in a wc (odi) final. Aussie response was exactly the same. I have a vague impression that even on his own, Dhoni has had occasion to have learnt the bitter lesson. Perhaps only a lapse of memory.

It was the feisty WG Grace who immortalised the maxim of batting first. Win the toss, bat. In case of doubt, have a good think then bat. In case of serious doubt think seriously and then bat. Not his exact colorful words, but that was the drift.

Am I saying batting first was a cure-all, a panacea or just hindsight?

No, but it would have been a big help. Dhoni started on the wrong foot and the Aussies were like a runaway train. One doesn’t stop it by standing in front or hook it from behind. You got to be cool and use more brains. Dhoni missed a big chunk of the stuff at the toss and was dumb-struck for the rest of the game.

He does not panic easily but for the first time I saw terror on his face when Jadeja was under the enormous Aussie cosh. Six sixes in a row, so what if they were not in the same over!

The only alternative is to bat sensibly even if you are seemingly losing the plot. If an opportunity to catch up arises, good. Most of the time, it does, at least once. Always try and give yourself some chance. You have to be there when it knocks.

Now, the nitty-gritty.

Murali’s opening the bat face was neither here nor there. Perhaps a gross lack of concentration or nerves. Could play.

Gambhir was scared of the speed at which the ball was coming. A backward flick he played on leg side wide was typical. His face turned exact 180 degrees opposite. This isn’t the Gambhir we know! Karhick could be given the slot with profit.

Raina’s cross-batted shot was too early and mindless. Will he learn?

Yuvi went out on a great yorker. Not much he could have done.

Dhoni’s shot seemed to have been well executed but for the height. If he wants the ball to travel that low, he is obliged to notice the fielder prowling the outfield in future.

YP. No good with the short-pitched ball and the one that constrains his space. Sorted out by most opponents and could sit in the dug-out and meditate.

Jadeja- not at all a quantity for this cup. WI trip could be his lone favor from the selectors.

Rohit, Harbhajan, Zaheer – enough mustard there.

Nehra - so so bowling, rabbit batting. Vinay Kumar does come into the frame.

Dhoni’s bowling plan has confounded many, especially considering he inserted the Aussies. He may have fooled the enemy for an over or two, but an ever-lasting charade, no. Chicanery will not do where guts and brains are the only currency, the real deal.

India could reasonably hope to qualify if they beat both SL and the WI. Even so the massive defeat has placed their fate at the mercy of their opponents. There can be a washout or the Aussies could beat the WI but refuse to do so to SL so that the Indians go home early. In that eventuality we would need a big win against the Lankans.

We can now only wait to see how it pans out. The cookie may just crumble for India, but if it doesn’t we shall have no excuses. Lamenting Sehwag and Tendulkar’s absence are alibis for the weak. Even if the two had been there, reality check may have still been on.


Truly Master classs Openers that Osees got :-(
Did we fix anywhere that Jadeja Sore loser is definitely a mole ,No respect to
represent 1 billion thoooo boothulu mingesaaa :-(
