Over 66 percent fans feel that poor team selection was one of the primary reasons behind India's recent Asia Cup debacle, revealed a survey by popular daily Malayala Manorama.
The paper had conducted an online poll on India's Dubai debacle where they failed to reach the final after losing to Pakistan and Sri Lanka in the Super 4 stage.
The media organisation set a questionnaire for the fans to analyse India's poor show. Asked about the main reason for India's dismal show in the continental tournament, 66.91 percent felt it was "flawed team selection" while 26.37 percent blamed it on over-confidence.
A small percentage (3.79) attributed the disaster to excessive cricket while 2.93 percent cited over-age as the reason. Another question was which aspect of batting didn't click and it was nearly a tie between those who attributed it to failure of batting all-rounders (33.09%) and ODI style batsmanship (31.14%).
