Commonwealth Games (CWG) in Birmingham, said the focus of the Indian hockey team is to stay in the best shape and form in the run-up to next year's World Cup. India ended up winning a silver medal, after a 7-0 hammering in the final against Australia. "We all are really eager to return to training and prepare ourselves for the upcoming competitions," Abhishek, who scored two goals in six games in Birmingham, said in a Hockey India (HI) release.
In one of its worst performances in recent times, India suffered an embarrassing 0-7 drubbing at the hands of defending champions Australia to settle for a silver medal on Sunday. "It is hard to digest a loss by such a big margin," the India vice-captain said in a Hockey India (HI) release after returning to the country early on Wednesday morning. "Definitely the entire team is disappointed by the way we played but it's important we move on from this bitter outing. Like Chief Coach mentioned, we lacked the energy and tempo required to match-up to a team like Australia."
Commonwealth Games, an angry Hockey India has asked the world body (FIH) to immediately amend the regulations and take strict action against technical officials, who commit such errors. The Indian women's team was undone by a horrendous stopwatch faux pas by technical officials in the shoot-out against Australia in the CWG semifinal on Saturday, which it eventually lost 0-3 following a 1-1 stalemate after 60 minutes. Rosie Malone fluffed Australia's first attempt in the penalty shoot-out as India skipper Savita Punia pulled off an excellent block.
Commonwealth Games (CWG) semifinal loss to Australia, coach Janneke Schopman said her side was left deflated and lost momentum after the incident. The Hockeyroos set up the gold-medal clash against England after a controversial 3-0 win over India on penalties here on Friday. During the shootout, Australia's Rosie Malone missed her shot but to the dismay of the Indian team and fans, the forward was given a second chance as a technical official, B Morgan of England, had failed to start the clock on time. Each player gets eight seconds to put the ball into the net in the shootout. Given a second chance, Malone scored and that set the tone for the shootout as the Indians failed their first three attempts, while Australia converted all their chances.
