We rely too much on him and at times he has to carry the burden on his shoulders. Without him players know that the chances are slimmer in any competition but that could be a motivating factor for them to pull their weight and play better as a unit. Now they have to go that extra mile to get anything out of the series. They responded well in the first ODI. Time will tell whether they carry on with the same commitment. If they have the desire, I believe they do, then they will play better without him.
