Day One at Perth today was a disaster for the struggling Indian cricket team and it was a painful experience to watch the recent world champions falling like nine pins unable to face some excellent fast bowling by the Australians . Chance of a third defeat in succession looms large and the pressure to perform is very evident in the body language of all the players .
What is going wrong for Dhoni and his team ? . Infighting ? , Australian hostile crowds ? , fatigue from over exposure ? , a new coach not in sync with the team ? or a combination of all these aspects ? .
The selectors need to take a serious note and do some surgical operation to correct this situation if they want to redeem the losing standing and reputation of the Indian team – both in the short term and long term .
