it hurts me to see india women who could hv sweeped the series lose and i am scared whether we might find ourselves in the same situation like the men's team found out in 2007 50 overs world cup, all teams have the aggressor up top but they build their innings and then attack, whereas either we go into a shell or attack mindlessly without assessing the pitch conditions, as a avid watcher, how can india plug this problem and is there need for some radical thinking especially in the type of players india need becuase in the england series we saw how openors were inconsitent and enormous pressure falling on harmanpreet kaur to build the innings, what should be done to ensure india does well in overseas
Hi Vasanth. Thanks for your thoughts. If you go through my previous writing, the fitness and fielding of the Indian team is something I've been going on and on about for a long time.
Please do write articles on need for imporvement in women team fielding, for me the series was lost not due to poor cricket but due to poor fielding, secondly the role of coaches in assessing team defeat, i am quite new to women's cricket but my observation is that the indian women time and again continue to commit the same mistakes and it cost them the series both in home and away series, role of openors and inconsistencies plaughing them, both shafali verma and mandana shot selections have been an issue for long time and i continue to notice the pattern of dismissals have become common, likes of verma is hoking the ball very early and isnt building the innings which will enable her to mould her aggression,etc , coaches role have to be scrutinised on inability to rectify the mistakes and some dubious decisions in the back end costing india crucial points in pressure situations, as much i am in awe of verma inconstencies doesnt bode well for india in 50 overs world cup and especially in pressure situations where we see india faultering, is there a need for india to reassess this opening pair and should there been some soul searching on why india arent able to close games after finding themselves in dominant postion in odis and as well as in twetnty20 and test, which has even plauged the men's team in crucial knockout tournaments
