Why does the Indian Cricket team lacks the "Killer Instinct" in playing any match? They just crumble !

BECAUSE, THE RESULT OF INDIA PLAYING MATCHES FIXED ALREADY. \nSO THEY MAY NOT WANT TO OVER-ACT.

Actually the Indian plight is that it has only two batsmen: Tendulkar and Dravid. Tendulkar is on the slide. India must play atleast 6 batsmen. Raina, Kaif, Jaffer and Mongia are just pushovers. Technically very poor. Pathan could be played as a batsman.\n\nLaxman, Ganguly, Gambhir should join the team. Actually Vengsarkar and Greg want good fielders not batsmen. Hopeless attitude. \nA great follower of the game, like me, has started missing the telecast and instead I watch matches wherein India does not figure.

They play too much cricket when compared to other teams in the world. One more main issue is that cricket is not just a game in India, its a religion. People see players as their role models, so if the cricketers fail they face severe criticism. That's the reason they are under lot of pressure.

Although Tendulkar is far from his best he is definitely not over. Shewag is still dangerous, but he needs to be dropped once to get him some sense! Dravid is still the best Indian batsman. Yuvraj is too good not to have in the team. Kaif is a solid player, he will be the future Dravid, If only they let him play enough! Raina has not impressed me enough. Irfan should be kept as a bowler only. Please stop sending him 1 down!

not all the great and legend players are good captains. \n\nDravid ofcourse he is the spine for all the indian victories from last decade but i dont think he is the right person.\n\nsee what is happening, i am not criticising because it lost the series with WI , but  to become a good team , they have to win in alien places. \n\nand until now dravid won in india , pakisthan  even pakisthan is sub continent and similar pitches like home. its not enough.they have to win overseas series convinsingly.\n\nuntil that we cant deciede wether he is right or wrong. may be time will give right answere

I will say, the Lack of confidence among the senior players. When they saw pathan taking wickets, they made up the mind such a way that the pitch was a teriffic bowling track. The way Dravid and Shewag played are examples. Another major set back was other senior players took Rasak very lightly, under estimation of his bowling. The way sachin, ganguly and dhoni out shows that.

I think it was \nTHEIR INABILITY TO ADJUST AND ADAPT TO THE FOREIGN CONDITIONS...\n\nCoz i dont think this team is Over Confident...\n\nMaybe a little complacent during the first two matches...\n\nAnd also i feel that Indian Team looses hope very easily...when the lost the 2nd and the 3rd match...\n\nThey were not able to pull themselves up, as i guess their morale and self confidence plunges after they loose....

as of now it may seem that its going great, but with the lack of senior players n expertise, they r not gonna get too far... young talent is a must but the real test will be when they play outside the subcontinent n on some real bouncy tracks... the management shud realise the urgency of experienced players in the team... else in the long run, its not gonna get far..

SEHWAG POOR FORMS CONTINUES DAY AFTER DAY.\n\nKAIF PROVES HIS IN-CONSISTENCY MATCH BY MATCH.\n\nBUT WE COULDN'T FIND THE IDEAL REPLACEMENT PLAYERS NOW.\nLUCKILY,FOR THEM WC'07 NEARING..SO THE SENIOR PLAYERS GIVEN MORE THAN ENOUGH CHANCES.\n\nBUT IT WILL COME TO AN END.\n\nTHE RECENT LOSE WILL URGE THE SELECTORS TO THINK.

i think he has a full planed strategy to let team india down; first he throwed dada (saurav ganguly) out of the team and destroyed its unity and there after his illogical  experiments.\nonly god can help team india.\nhe should be thrown out of the team management

The most essential thing is to change the attitude of the players and their approach to the game.  What is required is that each and every player should play all the match with dedication, committment and urge to win.  They should keep aside their personal gain/interest and should dedicate fully and play to win.\n\nOnce all the players adapt this essential ingredient, things will improve automatically and we can see a sea of change in the fortune of Indian team's performance.

It is POLITICS.\n\n\nYES HE SHOULD PLAY.\n\nBUT THAT WILL NOT SOLVE ALL THE PROBLES.\n\nWhat then?\n\nPRESENT LOT be REMOVED. S/SHRI\nBCCI-PAWAR\nSELECTOR-VENSARKAR\nCOACH-CHEPPAL\nCAPTAIN-DRAVID, SEWAG\nTHE WHOLE TEAM.\n\nA fresh selection is made after deciding criteria for selection for each post. For example DRAVID WILL MAKE 10 - 63 RUNS IN 108 BALLS, It is equivalent to 30 - 160 runs in 50 overs. Such negative play to be retained in the team can make individual statistics good, BUT INDIA CAN NEVER WIN. \n\nSUNIL G. also did same thing.\n\nThey are good for test but not for ODI.\n\nIn the selection criteria shall ensure that these negative factors are taken in account.\n\nSECONDLY,\n\nIf team does not win,\nchange 2 b,man, 2 blrs, 1 all rndr, 1 wickt kpr ( if did not do well).\n\nIf team does not win series,\n\nREMOVE\n\nBCCI-PAWAR, \nSELECTOR-VENSKR\nCOACH-CEPAL\nCAPTAIN-DRVD, SWG\nTHE WHOLE TEAM\n\nMake again a fresh selection.\n\nINDIA IS FULL WITH TALENT BUT POLITICS AND REGIONALISM HAS MADE IT A ROT.\n\nPl come out of POLITICS and REGIONALISM.\nGive chance to the BEST CAPABLE, RESPONSIBLE INDIAN.\n\n\nI AM SURE INDIA WILL WIN AGAINST ANY TEAM IN THE WORLD.\n\nIs it ok?\n\nSURELY.

"THEY" TRY TO HIGH-LIGHT PATHAN AS A MATCH WINNER.\n\nSO "THEY" CREATING AN IMAGE THAT IF PATHAN NOT PERFORMED WELL INDIA WILL LOOSE.\n\nYOU CAN FIND MY POINT TRUE IN ONCOMING MATCHES.\n\nIF HE GET MORE WIC. INDIA WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do. Maybe it is the simple reason of not getting used to the pitches, or weather, or crowds. But India are tigers at home!!

I'm not too sure what Cricket you've been watching over the past few years. Granted they've struggled on the sub-continent, but a 1-1 draw with India isn't a bad result is it? India wouldn't repeat this in England, they don't have a pace attack to speak of. England's team have been outplayed in the one-dayers, but it hasn't exactly been their first team.\n\nI predict that they will go unbeaten in tests this summer before retaining the ashes against a weakening Australian side in the winter, becoming the number 1 test side in the World in the process. Anyone remember last summer?
