Indians face Kiwis today
BANGALORE, May 13: Sachin Tendulkar’s Jet-lagged Indians open their campa-Sin the Inde-ere on Wednes-
day determined not to "freeze" in the summer heat, reports AFP.
The home team returned from a tour of the West Indies and Bermuda late on Monday night, less than 40 hours before taking on resurgent New Zealand in their first match.
The bleary-eyed Indians flew in to Bangalore today afternoon after an overnight stop-over at Bombay and hit their hotel beds after a light work-out at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
It was not the Ideal preparation for the four-nation tournament being organised to celebrate the 50th year of India's independence, but coach Madan Lal nad other worries on his mind.
There's no point brooding about the hectic schedule, it's part of a professional crick-
eter's life,” Madan said. "I am more worried about the team's attitude to the game.
"We freeze at the crunch, you know. We" re Just not able to finish well," he said, referring to defeats in both the Test and one-day series in the West Indies.
Madan said he was disgusted when India were shot out for 81 while chasing a moderate victory target of 120 in the Barbados Test which won the five-match series for the West Indies.
India then snatched defeat from certain victory in the third one-dayer at St Vincent, which allowed the West Indians to take a 2-1 lead. The hosts won the four-match series 3-1.
"Those two matches will haunt me for ever. I am going to keep asking the boys about the two matches till they win the next tournament," Madan said.
"We just freeze. Do you expect bowlers to give you half-volleys when there is a small total to defend. The Indians have to make things happen, not let the others overtake you."
Madan would like his team to perform like the Pakistanis, who raised their game to stun world champions Sri Lanka on Monday in a match they had to win to stay in the tournament.
"The Pakistanis fight well. To beat the Sri Lankans without their top bowlers is very creditable. We need to play like them."
The Indians can take comfort from playing New Zealand at a venue where they defeated Pakistan in last year’s World Cup quarterfinal and followed that with a last-over win over Australia.
Tendulkar's men will need all the support they get from 40,000 frenzied fans against the Kiwis, flying high after defeat-
ing Pakistan in the tournament opener at Mohall on Friday.
But the home team's first appearance in the tournament is clouded by a controversy over the sacking of former skipper Mohammad Azharuddln, the
only Indian to score more than 6,000 one-day runs.
Angry Azharuddin fans raised slogans against Tendulkar and Madan Lal when the team flew in to Bombay on Monday night, and demanded the stylish middle-order batsman be reinstated.
Madan Lal. who like Tendulkar needed police protection to be escorted out of the airport, said he had "nothing to comment about anything on Azhar.”
New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming played down the uneasiness in the Indian camp, saying the home team was strong enough to make a mark in the tournament.
"They will be tough to beat, in fact I would say we are the underdogs for tomorrow's match," Fleming said.
