Do problems lie with the Indian Cricket body or the players themselves?

It looks like we are unable to playing spinners at our home conditions, it looks like we are unable to playing swing bowling abroad, it looks like we are unable to spin the ball at our home conditions, it looks like we are unable to swing the ball abroad - What are we able to do for us to be aware of?

I am just comparing the just concluded 2nd Test Match between South Africa and Australia and the Test match between England and India. A debutant in the name of Flu de Plassis, who is remembered for his IPL instincts with CSK, dug out for more than 7 hours to save his country from a real humiliation. An injured in the name of Kallis, who could not bowl more than 3 overs, has represented for South Africa more than 100 Tests and who has proved his country time and again, played with epitome again to save his country in both the innings. This goes to prove that their country comes supreme ahead of everything else - yes, there is a national pride....

I think where India India lost the match is in its approach to the game itself - A Sachin does not know where his off stump is, a Kohli does not know how to play a full toss ball, a Sehwag does not know how to counter spin coupled with Ashwin who does not know how to spin on a spinning track sums it all. If one removes the Pujara-factor out of the equation, it looks like Indians were under prepared, yet again, for another series. There is no national pride, it seems, representing Indian cricket...

The same team under the same captain, which saw its heights after winning the World Cup in 2011, has not come to its own terms thereafter sums up the attitude to the approach of this Indian maddening sport.

This makes us to believe that playing for India is considered no importance than while representing their respective franchisees in IPL. Do you think cricket administrators are unaware of this? So, has this lot to do with the activity outside the cricket field? Is Politics within the Indian team or the entire Indian cricket body - that is what we need to think for now.... Will restructuring the Indian team take away the current problem? Or is the Indian Cricket Body too involved (or egocentric) with the day-to-day functioning and running of the happenings in the cricket field?

When did these problems begin - Is it when the new management took over?

We seem to be having more of 'yes men' kind of people at the helm of affairs who  report to a single person than to the cricket body.... and that is where the problem begins and continues to run..... Till such time we fail to handle this, we will continue to have more problems in the Indian cricket field...
