They’re trying but FIFA and the IOC are in their own class when it comes to corruption and ignorance.

Bowlers deserved a clip in that game too. Had India 7-139 chasing 263 and then they get slogged around by the No.8 and 9.

Issue there of no preparation to acclimatise to the hot, humid, India conditions. By the time 8 and 9, both decent bats, come to bat the bowlers were stuffed. We should have gone early even if we played warm up games in Sri Lanka (given India would give us green tops in warm up games). We'd have got used to spinning tracks, albeit not Indian ones, and stifling weather conditions.
