Former New Zealand captain Martin Crowe said India’s performance in the on-going second Test in Napier is a far cry from their attempt at becoming the world’s number one team. He has criticised stand-in skipper Virender Sehwag for his poor leadership.
Crowe claimed regular captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni – who is out with a back injury – was being sorely missed and pin pointed Sehwag’s leadership as one of the prime reasons for India’s desperate situation against the Kiwis in the second Test, which the visitors are trailing by 267 runs after following on.
He blasted Sehwag for his tactics and termed the Delhi dasher’s decisions as “unfocused thinking”. “I have never seen captaincy so bad as I saw with Virender Sehwag,” he added.
