India already has lost 7 match ODI series with match at hand. Now India has nothing to do but can save themselves form heavy defeat of 5-1. If they want to do so, there is no alternative of winning the match. Now India needs to realize how they can avoid such crushing defeat in future. No, there is no short way to solve this problem. During the Natwest series India could experience the deficient of the all-rounder. Some of Cricket intellectuals explained seriously that India needs some all-rounder to be strong. If you look over the Australia and the South Africa team you could realize that how the all-rounder can play to make the team strong. I think you all could understand that which players I am indicating. Those are nothing but J Kallis and A Symonds. If we observe all the teams in south Asia, there is none you can consider as an all-rounder.
After scoring a mammoth 317 for eight built around Andrew Symonds rollicking unbeaten 107, the Australians held their nerve to restrict the home team to 299 for seven and take an invincible 4-1 lead in the seven-match series. Mitchell Johnson, who bowled a maiden in the 49th over, chipped in with two for 39 while Man-of-the-Match Symonds followed up his batting exploits with an economic spell of 10-0-39-0.
A Symond is strong support of the Australia team now. In the seven match series you could not find out any match in where he hadn’t strong roll. If he fail to do well in batting then took the controls of the team by bowling. Now India needs the same superiority all-rounder now. Yes, all could think about I Pathan but he needs to work hard.
I think only all-rounder could not solve the problems, it needs more develop in others area such as top-order batting, running between the wicket and need to variation in bowling.
If you scrutinize the last match, I mean 6th ODI you could see the spin bowlers Sachin Tendulkar did well and able to save the runs but the captain Dhoni used the fast bowlers. For this wrong decision India had to pay.
