The chairman of the Indian choice panel, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, is unfazed by India's performances in opposition to England and South Africa, and says India will come to the occasion when it matters most.

Chatting with a leading Indian newspaper, Srikkanth pointed out that the Indian team had been performing brilliantly on his watch, and had shown nice resilience underneath stress, over the last years, with his typical homily of "Let's not forget that".

Srikkanth doesn't find a lot mistaken with India's bowling, and stays upbeat about India's title bid.. He says it is only about finding the fitting combination, and that India have used the group part properly, making an attempt out totally different permutations. Nonetheless, he did not make clear why Ashwin was the sole bowler not noted of such experimentation.

The chief of selectors found consolation in the fact that England's Anderson and Swann, each accomplished bowlers, had gone for runs on the flat sub-continental tracks served up at this world cup. By comparison, this made the Indian bowling look much less futile than it appeared, according to Srikkanth, who stated that India had used the league part for experimentation as it was meant to be used, and the defeat to South Africa must be seen as a part of the process.

To underscore his level, Srikkanth harked again to India's well-known title-successful exploits at the 1983 world cup. He pointed out how India had been beaten by Australia within the group stage, and had bounced again strongly, to beat the identical team, within the semi-finals. There, too, India had experimented with bowling mixtures, whereas they may, within the group stage.

Srikkanth also found nice cheer and consolation that Sri Lanka, South Africa, Pakistan, New Zealand and England had all tasted defeat within the group stage of the match, leaving Australia as the only staff to not lose a single game, in this phase. That information would assist console Indian supporters that their house staff was not alone in its misery, based on the selection chief.

Srikkanth additionally felt that Steyn's bowling in opposition to India was not as brilliant because it was being made out to be., and that India's batsmen had lost their wickets owing to making an attempt too many bold shots. He felt that 'regular' cricket and conventional pictures would have helped the Indian cause better underneath the circumstances.

The previous India captain had a ready reply for a question about India's out-cricket problems: protected floor fielding and abstention from dropping of catches was the simple tonic he prescribed for the power disease.

The chief selector's first name was spelt with a single 'K' before he found the thrill of numerology. Incidentally, Srikkanth went on a non secular pilgrimage before the world cup and unleashed that most highly effective weapon of all - the P-U-J-A - to quell any bid by rival teams to win the holy grail that is rightfully India's.
