Experiments should give results: Kapil Dev Wednesday, September 27 2006 13:06 Hrs (IST) - World Time -
New Delhi:
The legendary Kapil Dev Tuesday (26 Sep, 2006) blames the star-studded Indian batting line up for the debacle in the recent tri-series and says it is high time that the team won matches when it matters most.
Kapil says he has no problems if the team tries out certain experiments with the batting order provided if it gives the desired results.
"They have to put their heads down together and think. They (batsmen) have not played an innings when it matters to the team," Kapil Dev tells on the sidelines of a function organised by NGO 'Khushi'.
"It was a disaster and they have let the country down. I know they must be giving their best but their best in not enough," he says.
"Our bowlers have bowled well in Malaysia but the batsmen let us down. We say that our team has the top batsmen of the world but when it matters they do not perform. They are capable of better performance and they need to think about it," he says.
When asked whether too much of experiments with the batting line up is the reason behind their failure, he says, "I don't care what experiments you do but you should win matches. The results matters to me. They should sit down and plan what is best for the team."
