India's Strength Exposed and Stamped by Windies.

Another match on fast track of Kensington Oval, Barbados and another lose for India in the World Cup T20, this time on the hands of West indies. Indians cant handle the average bowling attack of Windies and lost the do or die match. Though they still have a very slim hope if they defeat Srilanka in the next match by a big margin and Windies lose to Australia. But i don't think they deserve to be in the Semi's of the mega event.

Looking at the 2 successive failures i think the Indian think tank should now decide 2 set of squad. One which can play well in the bouncy tracks and others who will play in the sub-continent only. Even the test opener M Vijay is not able to handle the short pitch bowls. If you look at his career he doesn't have any good knocks against big teams and in good pacy tracks. I think players like M Vijay, Ravindra Jadeja, Yusuf Pathan, Suresh Raina should not be consider for the teams traveling outside sub-continent.

Ravindra Jadeja on what grounds he is there in the team, is difficult to understand. If as a leg spin bowler then Piyush Chawla is waiting and warming the bench is a better leg spin bowler any day. if he is playing as a all rounder who will come into bat after Harbhajan then nothing to say. Yusuf Pathan is bowling well but his prime job is to get quick runs which is not happening at all. He looks out of sorts in front of good bowling (not talking about short pitch bowling). Suresh Raina is a very good batsman but need to sort out problems with sort bowls. Zaheer khan is probably the worst bowler among the most high profile bowlers list. His dedications seems to be only with MI(Mumbai Indians) bcoz i have never seen him playing well in shorter version of the game for any teams apart from MI.

Selectors needs to sort out the problems of Short bowling issue with Indian Team. They should drop players who have problem with short bowling. If they feel the identified dropped players are very good players then send them for training in Australia or SAF. Otherwise Indian team will keep disappointing us outside the sub-continent.
