We are out of the world cup 2015 and its not the loss of being thrown out of the tournament that is felt but it is the loss of two of our greatest cricketers ever who makes us feel so sad as the tournament goes on.
We should have done better at least to give these two great's a memorable farewell like India did in the last world cup to Sachin but it was not to be Thanks to those in charge, who should take full responsibility for such a drab performance particularly the fitness of our cricketers during the tournament.
If you look back, our first weak point was our inability to fix the opening and middle order sloths during this world cup and had you folowed the tournament closely you would have easily noted the confidence of those in charge as they just brought in and brought out players to suit the situation throwing panic as the confidence level of the team drops when you keep moving guys around and bringing in replacements whilst the tournament is in progress. We did not see this with the other teams present which shows our selectors had absolutely no idea and just gambled with their choice when most of the other teams had their opening and middle order sloths fixed long before the tournament began.
To make things worse what on earth did the trainers do about the fitness of our cricketers as we saw no less than 4 of our regular players fail to live up to the fitness levels required for a tournament of this sort where you start training at least two years prior to the tournament. Having played the game myself at a high level, I know for certain we have more than one trainer and what have these guys being doing, we may have even lost that match to Australia and even that quarter final with a 80% probability due to fitness as Chandimal had to walk out of the Australian match when he was about to set a record and then we had no more than three of the better cricketers sit on the bench during yesterdays quarter final. Let me remind you that we never faced this situation when we prepared for the 96 world cup, the openers and the middle order were permanent and the fitness within the team including captain cool was absolutely 100% even more if you had asked me then.
At least lets learn from these mistakes and take it from here and ensure we will not repeat these same mistakes ever again.
