Why India failed to perform against Australia but perform well against srilanka? Is it something related teams psychology or team inconsistency to perform.
Well it happens when team did mistakes and we know Indian team did many mistakes and lost 2-3 matches at less margin only!
Australia is a much better team and they play with confidence. Sri Lanka on the other hand go on the defensive very easily and then India can dominate.
Aussie's got great players & they always play with attitude 'never say die'. This is the big reason I think.
Because Australian are the world champions and sri lanka not. It was much difficult task to beat world champions always.
india are a consistent performer over the years in test cricket this is due to the presence of fab. five players in the team but one it comes to odi , only two players out of these play among fab. five. tat's y india have not been doing well in odi's.
Well for me Experience matters. When India was playing against Australia Rahul Dravid , VVS were not there and they were in the team against Srilanka.
India lost two match in just 3 and 4 runs it is cricket and we never know what will happen until the end of the last ball. Luck was on australia side.
Lol I don't agree, Srilankan Team looks much better than what Australian Team came to India. Only one person which Srilanka missing is Malinga or otherwise they can be said to have the best bowlers. Even in the Champions trophy India, Srilanka and South Africa were rated the strongest. So I do think psychology plays a little here, and rest is Australia always plays as a team and not individuals and even when they are weak there aggressiveness level is the same.. Also if Srilanka had took the catch of Sehwag in first over the result could have been entirely different
i think australia is a better team than srilanka.And Australian has fighting spirit till end which asian teams lacks they give up early
