Blaming Captain for every Defeat is Unfair

The Former chief of Selectors Krishmachari Srikkant& Dileep Vengsarkar the Chief of selectors just prior to Srikkant were of the opinion that it is unfair to blame the reverse conditions for every defeat. Perhaps,they are supporting Captain Dhoni .Everyone knowing cricket started pouncing upon Captain Dhoni for 2 defeats at Mumbai&Kolkatta. This is not fair.Dhoni is a captain with enthusiasm&strong will Power to rise to any occasion especially in adverse conditions where significant contribution is required. Of course he had such an occasion in the second innings at Kolkatta where every top Batsman had failed.We can not Blame him totally for this.In every cricketer there are strong &lean periods.This was just one of those lean period for Dhoni. But what about Gautam Gambhir who not only failed when situation demanded it but instumental&root cause in the total collapse when he ran out most promising youngster Thejeswar Poojara by attempting a run which wasnt there as well. This wicket of Poojara marked the beginning of the end of Indian second Innings. So Captain Dhoni alone was not the reason for the total debacle. One should conveniently forget the conditions for reversals & try to compensate for the Lapses.What has happened can not be Unhappened.What is done can not be undone. Perhaps,all the sweetest perfumes of Arabia may not be enough to wash away the hands of the sinners.But what happened wass not really sin. It was fate.This should pave way for the triumph in matches ahead!! How Sachin became Master blaster&Little Master?Of course he had talents from childhood.But the real factoor behind his total success was that he got oportunity from the age of 16 for most of the International Exposures.This is a Blessing in Disguise. But Srikkant&Vengsarkar have their own carrier also to show as evidence that Triumphs could be also fateful,Lucky& owing to total TeamSpirit. The Teamspirit is the one lacking in the Indian Team today.India should try to cultivate this hopefully&strongly if She likes to have many more success in the future!!!. Now what is the evidence Srikkant&Vengsarkar could point out to support their opinions? Srikkant had his debut in Test Cricket at Mumbai against England between 27th November 1981 to 1stDecember1981 with one REST DAY in between.The Great Sunil Gavaskar was the captain for India. India in their first innings ,the contribution of Srikkant was a 0&Gavaskar55 Intheir second Innings Srikkant made13&Gavaskar14 England under Captain Fletcher made the score of fitst innings Fletcher 15&3& great Boycott60&3 This match was won by India by Indiaby 138 Runs.(For full score refer to cricket sites) As far as Dileep Vengsarkar is concerned,he had his debut against Newzealand at Aukland betweenJanuary24&January281976 Sunil Gavaskar was the captain for India.&GlennTurner for Newzealand. Newzealand batting first opened with JF Morrison&GMTurner.In their first innings the contribution of Morrison&Turner respectively were46&23 India in their first inningsthe contribution Of openers Vengsarkar&Gavaskar respectively were 7&116. The second innings score of openers for NZ were respectively were23&13 for Morrison &Turner India in reply in their second innings scored 6&35 respectively by Vengsarkar Gavaskar respectively. Eventually,India won by 8 wickets.(For full score card refer to cricket sites) So both Srikkant &Vengsarkar were instrumental for wins on their debut. In other words it was the Team work of India both Bowlers&Batsmen together with significant contribution from Gavaskar that won matches. The members of teamat Mumbai were Kapil Dev,MadanLak,RJ.Sastri,SM.Patel,G.R.Viswanath&Syed Kirmani &for Aukland were S.Amarnath,Syed Kirmani,GRViswanath,BPPatel,S.Venkitaraghavan,M/Amarnath,MadanLal,Prasanna&Chandrasekhar. So if India could play with total Team Spirit WHERIN "TOTAL CO-OPERATION" ,AS IN ALL MATTERS,IS THE KEY WORD FOR SUCCESS!OR INSTEAD, IF FIGHTING AMONG THEM CREEP IN THEN IT COULD LEAD JUST TO TOTAL DISASTER!!!
