I agree with Viren. And in my opinion, coaches have very limited authority and they should not be made scapegoats.
Rahul Dravidâs decision to send Dinesh Kartik as number 3rd was seriously flawed. Rahul Dravid did well with his bat but he did not do well as a captain. Instead of firing and hiring coach, we can give Saurav Ganguly the command. He truly deserves the captaincy.
Seamers RP Singh, Zaheer, SriSanth and Agarkar did very well. Spinners Chawla and Power did excellent job. I loved SriSanthâs beamer. That was good. The obnoxious Kevin Peterson needed it. Top order batsmen disappointed me at times again. I am delighted to see Sachin is sort of back in form. Ganguly batted well. But he needs to look into the cause of his struggle in the last ODI. He needs to correct those issues ASAP. He was seriously struggling against seamers in the 7th ODI. Just play your game. Win or loose!
All in all India did well in both Test and ODI series.
Following factors went against India:
- Umpiring
- Fielding
- Collapse of top order batting line particularly in the last and crucial ODI match
