India have no chance, says Bedi
Former skipper writes off Ganguly’s troops
Bishen Bedi, a former Indian captain, has dismissed India’s chances of returning home with the World Cup, citing lack of commitment and an over-emphasis on money as the primary reasons.
The legendary left-arm spinner added that the team should concentrate on actually winning the tournament and not just qualifying for the next round.
"We don't even have five per cent chance of winning. Our sight should be on the Cup, whereas we are just thinking of qualifying for the Super Six," Bedi said on SABe TV.
Bedi also revealed his strong opinions on current skipper Sourav Ganguly.
"Anybody who rates himself bigger than the game is not the right person to lead. He does not own up his mistakes, and that is what irks me," Bedi commented.
Bedi added that the controversy surrounding the personal endorsement drama in the approach to the tournament had not helped the team either. He feels that the players are focusing on the economic side of the game.
"This is a massive distraction. Their principle is to play good cricket and profits will follow automatically, but the case here is that they are thinking of profit ahead of principles," he said.
Bedi then displayed his feelings that Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan should be banned from the game for his dubious bowling action. Muralitharan has been cleared by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
"In my book, he is not a bowler. He should have been throwing javelin at the Asian Games or Olympics as he is a good athelete."
For once I thought he will get off Murali's back!
