Tired?!? Excuse me …

Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. So, Gary Kirsten said the IPL fatigue was a factor. Mind you, he said he was not making excuses but it definitely was a factor.

Right!

Sounds like India was the only team playing the IPL! South Africans were resting in their homes and so were the Windies and the Lankans? Give me a break!

South Africa came off almost 4 months of tough cricket against Australia and then almost all of them played the IPL! Smith, Gibbs, Kallis, AB, Boucher, Botha, Van der Merwe; they all played. For Windies, Gayle, Bravo, Fidel Edwards – the performers were all playing the IPL. For Sri Lanka, Dilshan, Jayasuriya, Jayawardene, Sangakarra, Malinga, Murali, Mendis – they were all there again!

So how do you explain the fatigue for the Indians?

Guys, lets just accept the shortcomings, work on it rather than blaming fatigue and schedules and other things. Or maybe, Indians are just not as fit as the rest??
