India displays no will to win yet again

After 8 years India loses to Zimbabwe and we must feel good for Zimbios. But what for the so called bench strength or the team of future.

Who are exactly the future stars ?

Besides Srikanth transplants who are there ? Raina, Rohit : they are anyways part of ODI squad, so they aint. Who else ? Jadeja and Pathan ? We have had enough of this 2 lads in recent times and if they continue to be tipped future stars then we are kidding ourselves. How many of this barring Raina and to an extent Sharma are going to play 200 ODIs or 30 Tests for India ?

Who is another 100 Test material in Indian lineup besides incumbents ? Who are other most likely to get to 200 wickets mark in ODIs or 300 mark in Tests ? Neither of this batsmen or bowlers inspire an iota of confidence.

They are stars. IPL stars. Cash rich for big bang cricket. Then what did stop them to have big bang theory in ODIs ? The team that is not even half good as Jharkhand or Kerala Ranji squad (apologies to Tharoor n Freesanth) convincingly beats India -- a team that 5 regular members of regular Indian ODI squad -- Karthik, Raina, Sharma, Mishra and Kohli.

Did they lack intent or were they tired ? What about the pace attack ? Ashok Dinda, Umesh Yadav and R Vinay Kumar. Hardly an attack that sets firebells.   They dont have pace, they cant bowl short stuff. When they do try they get pulled or hooked by kids who dont even to get to play IPL or top class cricket.  Umesh Yadav ? WHo's he ? Never heard of him. Son of a poor farmer or a mill worker, got rich by IPL playing few games for DareDevils. He played for his country and had a horrendous debut.

Ashok Dinda has got fire in his eyes, he's got no temparament for wickets or bowling that would stop runs or take wickets. He swears the batsmen when hit for a 4 or  6, but who the fuck stops him from bowling them over or uprooting the timber ? Do they have the guts ? Bloody No.

Do this guys have the temparament of Biggies of Indian cricket who got them so easy to be playing for country. This useless lads just throw it all.
