Sourav Ganguly ensured that the team were well healed in this aspect of the game when he became captain.Ayush Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09172484355139580612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33518081.post-17009141804478702692007-08-09T00:44:00.000+10:002007-08-09T00:44:00.000+10:00Personally, I think its a combination of opposing teams coming hard at India ("how the hell did those guys beat us at home?") and India coming hard at themselves ("how the hell did we beat those guys at home"). That combination of opponent determination and self-doubt is quite a volatile. Here, the situation might be a bit different: England are likely to be a little baffled by how much damage has been done to their batting line-up by an inexperienced attack, and India are likely to be heartened by how they responded to both quality swing bowling and piss-poor attempts at sledging.Samir Choprahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16145425333818168212noreply@blogger.com
