Rahul Dravid & Co have been comprehensively thumped in the one-day series by Brian Lara & Co. Here are five brand-new excuses the Bhaiyyas in Blue might like to trot out for the 1-4 defeat:
5) It wasn't easy playing on the other side of the globe and keeping our concentration up while the country back home was asleep. We thought nobody would notice.
4) There were too many distractions for the boys outside the boundary line and we couldn't pick the right balls to score.
3) It's only if we lose do we learn the value of a win. So we wanted some practice before the World Cup.
2) Our bats got misplaced. The airline sent us Rajyavardhan Rathore's rifle by mistake and they didn't fire.
1) Greg Chappell told the West Indians that they forgotten how to win. He had also whispered to us that we had forgotten how to lose.
So.
also , the most probable excuse :
Dont worry abt the results , worry abt what went wrong and think abt the process ( Dravid makes management prof pale in comparision)
It is obvious our coach was batting for the other side when he said that the West Indies team has forgotten to win which energised them and demoralised us. May be we should institute an enquiry for match fixing!
@ Bapu:
Rubbish. Chappell might have had a very good reason to say that. But its the lethargic weaklings who’re better used to fill their pockets with commercials than playing professional Cricket who let him down.
Blame the Indian batsmen who fell to the slower pace on slower wickets and blame the Indian bowlers who didn’t utilize it as much as their counterparts.
