Let's analyse the reasons for today's match result, calmly.
I know it's hard to keep your cool with a result like this. But let's give it a try and discuss the possible reasons.
Let's not point fingers at individuals. Results like this happen when players collectively fails. So, drop him or pick him can't be the solution. This may not be our best XI but not far from it either. What if one or two key performers get injured before a match? Can we use that excuse to give up like this? We have won matches previously without key players.
So, what happened today? Did we not take the match seriously? Did we not face a stronger bowling attack on overseas soil before? Or was it the captaincy?
We could blame the captain for bowling and fielding side of the game but what happened to our batting today?
Have we already reached our peak and it's all downhill from here? Or it's just a small hiccup?
If we want to be a big team we have to be consistent. Our lows can't be that low.
