To be a winner all the time is impossible, but to be a Champion at one time and subsequently losing is a horrid feeling, the situation becomes vile even more when you win Like a Lion at home, even the World cup and lose Haphazardly, disappointing all.

Indiais unquestionably one of the world’s best team, the kind of batting strength it has and today it has most senior players in the history of cricket, like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. The question is not whyIndialost againstEnglandorAustralia, Question is that isIndiaonly capable of winning at home?

From Champion to a loser:

Cricket is an unpredictable game, but it doesn’t mean that you win one match or a series like champions and subsequently you lose, making all your fans and followers disheartened, to be a champion you need to be consistent and aggressive, Australia is the best team not only because it won 4 world cup’s, we call it the best because it has been consistent after winning each World cup. You can incidentally win a World cup, like the way Kenyareached the semi final of 2003 World cup but what happened do we call Kenyathe 4^th best team? Obviously no, or like the wayIreland defeatedPakistan in 2007 World cup, so do we know where theIreland team is now? Of course no. Or the way New Zealand reached Semi finals in many world cup’s.India is a good team, but what really happened, they have won the world cup, either that was their luck or effort, but can we really call India a Champion? If yes then how?

Point is not criticizing India, but applauding Australia, not just India but New Zealand, Srilanka, Pakistan, South Africa and England, all have the same problem, these countries are top cricketing nations, but If they win one tournament, you can not expect the same performance in the other, you cannot even expect the same performance in the next match by Pakistan and Newzealand.

I agree that no one is perfect all the time, but so much disrupted performance is also questionable.Australialost its momentum in past few years but it fell after many years of consistent performance. If you are a winner of current World cup then it means you are capable of winning other tournaments and matches, also when you have the same side and Captain, nothing is changed, but your Luck might have been changed.

Following is the comparison of India and Australia of all matches played untill now.
