In the run up to the World Cup and in the immediate aftermath of the victory, I was chuffed about India’s bench strength. India seemed to be able to win matches despite some of their best players not playing games. They seemed to be a...(more)


So, it’s over. The series, the #1 ranking, and the bubble of unquestionable success that enveloped India after the World Cup win.
