CRICKET.........A sport which is followed like a religion in India. This thought is justified as over the years Indian Cricket Team has proved its mantle in the international arena. Winning three World Cups, becoming No. 1 in Test Cricket and becoming the best cricket team in the world. But off late we have been forced to change our thinking about this team. The question is that whether this team deserves to be No. 1 or not ? Getting to the top is difficult but consistently maintaining that position is more difficult. Is this the team that won 2011 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ? India's recent shameful loss to England has raised many eyebrows.What are the Causes for such a hopeless performance ?
- Injuries to key players like Zaheer Khan, Bhajji and Sehwag.
- Indian Premier League fatigue
- Batsman cannot play on fast bouncy pitches
- Weak bench strength
- Poor captaincy
- Its just an outstanding team which had a bad month in England
MS Dhoni, the Indian skipper has been lashed for taking nasty decisions during these test matches. He is also being scrutinized for his poor batting form. Many believe that the darkest patch of his career is round the corner and he may have to fight like a true warrior.
In this series India haven't just bowled well but their batting line up which is believed to be one of the best till date misfired. No batsman except Dravid could bat up to his potential.
The bowling line up which is good enough to get any team out couldn't bowl the right length.
What can be done now?

- Forget this series
- Batsman have to perform well
- Improve bench strength
- Field well(many dropped catches)
