Tournaments favorites at the start of the Division Three are
struggling to remain in the division and the threat of relegation to division
four is around the corner. Not a single cricket fan has expected such a
disappointing performance by a country form Himalayan which is going through
excellent run in 50 over cricket as they were undefeated in Division Four and
Join Champion of ACC Elite Cup 2012 with UAE.
Every single crazy Nepali
cricket fan has single question this time around “what are the reason for such
a disappointing performance of Nepali cricket team?”
Cricket is game of
uncertainties, in a given particular day any weak nation can crush the stronger
one. The team that play better cricket in the match day wins. But question is
way Nepal did not play better cricket in the match day…??
Touring is always
difficult job, playing in new condition is tough in cricket. Let’s take
evidence from recent international fixture, Australia whitewash India in
Australia and Indian take revenge in their own backyard. This proves cricket is
a game which is fully affected by playing condition and nature of pitch. So the
first reason for this two losses is Nepalese team was unaware about the pitch
and ground condition. Nepali team was unlucky to get single warm up match which
also wash out by rain. Nepali team did not read the playing condition properly
and prepare plan accordingly. Bowler and batsman both find it’s difficult to
adjust to the new condition in Bermuda which I fell is the First reason for
these defeat.
Nepali cricket team has
recently finished ACCT20 cricket in own backyard and fresh from the tournament.
T20 and 50 over cricket is completely different ball game all together, so
shifting the tone from 20/20 cricket to 50 over is a most, which I feel Nepali
cricket team lacks in these matches. Batting approach and bowling line and
length varies according to change in formats. Nepali cricket team found it hard
to adjust their batting and bowling mentality with change in formats is the
second reason for the losses.
Match practice and match
fitness is a most in international cricket to keep the momentum. Our teams
seriously lack the proper match practice with quality side in different
condition. Playing with local team of Indian does not give sufficient match
practice to our team for such a important tournament for Nepali cricketing
history. Obviously this is third reason for these losses.
Over confident at the
start of the matches and taking the opponents lightly could be the other reason
for these loses.
Nepali cricket was going
towards right direction, increasing in people attraction towards cricket,
slowly graving the attention of investor and the wave of cricket was running
all across the country but these losses came at wrong time in Nepali cricket
history. This is the time we all fans should keep our hand together to maintain
the cricket craze and support the team from our level. This is not the end;
this is just the beginning on new era, we still have chance to qualify for the
World Cup 2015 qualifier if fortune favors and we must not forget we are
already in ICC T20 World cup qualifier. So it time to support pray and wish for
team.
