Indian look disinterested - Akram
Wednesday, September 30, 2009
"The Indian team has been looking listless and disinterested in the proceedings at South Africa. They don't seem to be interested in playing and seem to be going through the motions in this tournament. I fail to understand the reason for that," Akram said.
"Against Pakistan, the seam bowlers bowled a bit too short with the spinners failing to curb the scoring rate or pick wickets. The story pretty much repeated itself in the game against Australia," Akram said.
"Harbhajan was expensive for he was bowling short throughout," Akram said.
"Dhoni is looking disinterested as the skipper. He is not running to the bowlers and making suggestions or talking to them as often as he does," Akram said.
"His plans might have worked earlier but now it is not working so he will have to work harder with the team as the team needs him to show confidence in them now.
"Against Pakistan, he could have brought Harbhajan on earlier and he should have told him, don't bowl short, get the batsmen to drive," he added.
