Tendulkar the rara avis
NEW DELHI. Feb 7 (AP): Six yeafs back. Indians called him their "golden boy" of cricket.
Today, people wonder whether Sachin Tendulkar will be able to deliver at the World rCupr the- -eweket world's Olympics, which ben gins on Feb. 14 in India, 'Pakistan and Sri Lanka. And they must include skipper Mohammad Azharuddin who will lead the Indian players competing in the 12-nation tournament. *
Poor fielding and a vacuum
still left by the retirement of former skipper and allrounder Kapil Dev are threatening India's prospects of winning the trophy.
India has some high-quality batsmen and effective spin bowlers, but fielding problems and the lack of a telling all-rounder are two problems that Azharuddin is facing.
India meets Kenya for their first match on Feb. 18 pt.Cuttack in the eastern state of Orissa.
Kapil Dev. at his most
, SACHIN TENDULKAR spectacular with an unbeaten 175 against Zimbabwe in the 1983 competition, retired in 1994, and that blunted Indias cutting edge in both bowling and batting.
Millions of fans in this cricket-crazy country expect India to win its sixth World Cup. but Its uncomfortable 3-2 victory over New Zealand in the recent limited-overs
series has put a question mark over its chances.
India has not lost a one-day series at home tn five years, but the performance against New Zealand was unconvincing and there were few sparks in its game.
"The Indian team does not possess the balance which makes world champions.' former Indian captain Bishen Singh Bedi said. The squad could be the worst fielding side in international cricket today." said the legendary left arm spinner.
Captain Azharuddin admits that the fielding department is the team s weakness, and the focus of the team's conditioning camp was this shortcoming.
"1 am open to suggestions . as to how we can improve the general quality of our fielding.' Azharuddin wrote in a column in the Sportstar weekly. T am hoping to talk to experts who may design special fielding practice techniques for us."
About Tendulkar Azharuddin said he hopes the 22-year-old right hana bats man will regain his form
"We are badly lacking in good all rounders at the moment." Azharuddin said. The search for the number six allrounder Is still on "
Leg-spinner Anil Kumble, who had a very successful debut season in English county cricket with Northamptonshire last year. Is the main weapon in India s spin attack.
Medium-pacers Manoj Prabhakar and Javagal Sri-nath are sharp, but they tend to give away too many runs when batsmen are slogging in the final overs of the Innings.
In the meantime. Azharuddin looks forward to all the pressure India's fan can put on his team.
"The pressure on the home team to perform well wifi prove advantageous." he said.
