5 lessons that the Indian fans should learn from the Ashes series

Don’t mock at home series wins

Playing to your strength isn’t a weakness

Another lesson for the Indian cricket fans. We, in India, don’t value home wins and often tag the Indian cricket team as – “Tigers at home and Lambs abroad” .

But isn’t it true for every team?

India loses in Australia, Australia loses in England, England loses in Australia, South Africa loses in UAE and Pakistan loses in Zimbabwe!

True, India has not won anything abroad for sometime but they don’t really lose much at home either! If Indians are not adept to playing the short ball on a green top, the foreign players are mostly clueless on dust bowls.

If Suresh Raina can’t handle the bouncers, he is tagged as not good enough but someone like Jonny Bairstow is still regarded as the “future” even after he fails miserably to decipher the doosra!

Indians can’t play fast bowling, agreed; but England couldn’t handle Johnson, and worse they gave Lyon a five wicket haul. So does that mean that the English can’t handle either pace or spin?

Moral of the Story: Ghar mein har koi sher hota hai and it’s not something to be ashamed of.
