why the indian cricket team is not consistent?

its because they are behind money and fame and tends to forget their game

I love Cricket, and India is my fav team... And naturally Sachin is my fav player..

lake of prepartion

It is because the most of the players now play for the fame and money. When a new player arrive in Indian team he has a great spirit and energy, and often he perform well. Once he is established in the team he loses this mentality and thats because of the super human image created by the media and the huge popularity and large amount of money that comes with fame. The best way to make the Indian cricket better is to have some strict rules. Like, nobody will be paid more than 2000 Indian Rupees per match. They will not be allowed to do any TV commercials. These changes can do one good thing. Only those players who are interested in playing for India will go for the national team. Nobody will go there for the money.

The days when indian cricket team will become consistent then we will not call them indian cricket team.

i think bad selection of players n lot of youngsters,lacks of experienced players.....

bad selection of player.

both bowlers n batsman should be on form on the same days....most of the times eithereone division fails...
