Safari Tour Began with a wash out-

It was a wet Sunday for both teams at Johanesberg. We are hoping for a good contest in the coming matches if India plays with it best. Otherwise it would be a surrendering show if Men-in-Blue resume their current form. They have already lost their warm-up game. As expectations are always High, They have to perform at their best. There is no need for much stress. Constant performance and cool head will be the key to success. There is no need for big shots in the begining Overs. Batsmen have to spent some time on the wickets with the regular rotation of strike betweeen them. Ones ands twos will play a major role. There is no need of throwing wickets with the bad selection of strokes on the Bouncing wickets. Dravid can handle things well for him, but he must need a good start before his arrival and some good partner with him as well. We have to change our plans on these kinds of wickets and we can not carry on with our past records on South African soil. This is a good chance to proove the betterness. Bowlers too have to perform at their level best. They must bowl in Good Line and length. Disciplne is very very Important. They have to avoid too many extra deliveries which not only give extra run but another ball to a batsman to stay in the middle. Pathan is not improving himself. He have to generate more pace if his balls are not landing on the correct spots. Everybody needs to set himself as per the situation requires. They can not carry on with their set styles. Cricket is not just the game of actions, It is a brain game too. A player must need a very good brain to think and to adjust himself for any kind of circumstance which can happen during the game. So I am a bit positive this time that Coach Chappel and Dravid eleven have done their Home work well this time and will not dissappoint their supporters. best Wishes to Team India for the series.
