What went Wrong? Part 1
Well so india is out of the world cup , they are out in the 1st round .After the brilliant performance in the last world cup this is indeed a diasppointing performance.Ever since he took over as coach in 2005 greg chapell always stressed on world cup 2007 and formulated a plan known as vision 2007.Well here we have the results of gregs vision 2007, india out in the 1st round of the world cup.
so what went wrong is the million dollar question ?
well according to me the main thing where india lost out was the incompetent team management by Rahul Dravid and Chapell.Well lets face it , Rahul Dravid is undoubtedly one of the greatest batsmen ever , but he is a very very incompetent captain and leader someone who cannot motivate the team at all.And well about greg chapell the less said the better , he is undoubtedly the worst coach we ever had.I think india got the team selection all wrong as well.The decision to drop kumble for the matches against bangladesh and sri lanka backfired miserably.Harbhajan was a big failure in both those matches. I think kumble was sorely missed especially against bangladsh when india needed wickets.On a pitch where mediocre spinners like rafique bowled well , the bangladeshis would have found a spinner of Kumble's class unplayable.I have no doubt that had kumble played , india would have won that match despite scoring only 190 odd.More on indias disappointing world cup campagin next time.
