Indian team lack cosistancy, then can beat any one and more easily will lose to any team in the world. its time for us indians to take our focus from cricket and to concentrate on other Olympic events like boxing, tenis, swimming and badminton also shooting . At least if we encourage them we may get more gold next time.

If we exclude shocking defeat to Bangladesh and Kenya, India had never lost to the weakest side. Mind it, it's Srilanka, the newly crowned Asian Champion. Srilanka have the mixture of young and old players in the team and each knows his responsiblity well. On the other side, Indian team is 80:20 ratio in youth:experineced players. Though not contributing a lot, Sachin's presence would have done some difference in team morale, especially, when whole team is suffering from Mendis phobia.
And about Olympics, though India is a powerhouse of South Asia, it's terrible to see its performance in Olympics. How can country with huge population not able to produce athletes of high calibre? Just look at China, they are the top 5 country in the medal list everytime. I think India should concentrate more on producing more athletes who can bring some pride for the country in the world stage.
