On his immediate thoughts on the result, and what India can take away from it:Well, the first thing I felt when I saw the draw a couple of months ago was how could we get such a bad draw? It was definitely the worst draw of all the teams that I would have wanted to play. We could have played Canada, we could have played Kazakhistan, we could have played Belgium. All with one superstar player. But here, even if I wished for Nadal not to come, they have David Ferrer, they have Feliciano Lopez, they have Batista-Agut. Theyve got 10 guys in the top 50, maybe more. So terrible draw first of all, and when we are trying to get into the world group this was not what we needed.Secondly, we found out this weekend, how much better we need to be both mentally and physically, and it was a learning experience for the boys. I mean Ramkumar played really well on the first day, Saketh Myneni played as well as he was allowed to play, against David Ferrer, but it was a complete mismatch, as was the singles today.Doubles was very competitive, we should have won that second set and gone two sets to love which would have made it very interesting. Both Leander and Saket played great, and we were very unlucky to lose that.On Sumit Nagals injury and the fitness levels of the Indians compared to international teamsWe are way behind the Spanish, but they are probably the fittest team in the world. I mean if you saw Marc Lopez today at 34 years of age, quite amazing. He played four very close and intense sets yesterday, came back, and was down 3-0 in the final set today and won 6 games. So the guy still had enough in the tank to play with a 19-year-old kid and beat him. And our 19-year-old kid kind of faded out. Im not exactly sure what went wrong. Maybe it was just nerves that caused him to tighten up because apparently from what Ive heard from other people he is a very fit guy. Today he looked exhausted from the second or third game of the first set, so I wasnt quite sure what exactly was the matter. And then he wanted to take a medical time out early in the third set when he was up. And you dont take medical time outs when youre up, you take it when youre down, as most people know.So I told him No, youre not going to do it now, but then he had some problem with his stomach, his abdomen and he said he couldnt breathe properly. I wasnt exactly sure what the problem was but having said all that, we do have fitness problems in our team, we do have cramping problems in our team, and so it needs to be worked out somehow. Its very hard for me as captain to say Well, Im going to put Saketh Myneni in but Im not sure he can play 5 sets. Thats not good. I mean rather play somebody else whos not as good, but who can last 5 sets, like Ramkumar.I dont think its a matter of lack of personnel or resources. I think youve just got to commit yourselves to train like the way David Ferrer does, or Feliciano Lopez does. Im not even saying like Nadal does, Im not talking about the top 4 or 5 guys in the world. Im taking about even to compete with the guys who are in the 20s, 30s, 40s, youve got to be in phenomenal physical shape and at 19 you should be. I mean, its amazing to me that 19, 21 and 25 year olds are not in the best shape they can possibly be, and really want to be pro-tennis players. Its just amazing. And as the coach, Zeeshan (Ali) and I were talking just the other day, its frustrating as hell. And the fact is that in our playing days, we didnt have tie-breakers, we played best of five sets, and if I went and told my coach or my captain, Ramanathan Krishnan at the time, that I cant play 3 days in a row, Id be off the team. Id be kicked off the team very quickly.On why the rest of the players werent seated in support for the Nagal-Lopez match, as against Spains contingent which was present in full:Well, I generally insist that the whole team sits behind me when I am sitting in the captains chair. Now Zeeshan is always there and Prajnesh (Gunneswaran) was there. But you know, Leander comes and goes. Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping . It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. NBA Jerseys China .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city. http://www.cheapjerseysbasketball.com/ .

Cheap NBA Jerseys China . Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. Wallabies coach Michael Cheika will decide by the end of this year whether to persist with Bernard Foley as a fulltime inside centre.The playmaking roles along with the lock spots have been major areas of contention this year, with Cheika on Monday calling for this second-rowers to stand up and be counted.Foley started the season at five-eighth but has played the last five Tests in the No.12 jersey since Quade Cooper was recalled at fly-half for the second Bledisloe Cup Test in August.With Matt Toomua, Christian Lealiifano and Rob Horne unavailable Foley was pressed into service at inside centre.Australia have a 3-2 record since resorting to the Cooper-Foley playmaking combination and they appear to be growing in confidence after a tentative start.With Saturdays Bledisloe Cup game in Auckland to be followed by five Tests on the spring tour, Cheika is prepared to wait until the end of the season before deciding whether to keep Foley at 12 or switch him back to 10.Cheika said the Wallabies had shown more attacking shape in addition to better work rate in defence in recent games.While Cheika was happy with his efforts in the unfamiliar position, he stressed Foley still had scope for improvement at inside centre.I think hes doone a good job considering hes playing well out of position, Cheika said,He has taken to the role.dddddddddddd Hes had to pick up some different defensive duties as well and I think hes made good hay of it considering.I still think that hes got improvement in him in that position and well have to work hard on him because thats obviously a pivotal position hes playing, the second playmaker.Cheika has shuffled his locks around more than any other area of his side this year and made it clear he wanted more from his big men.I dont think Ill be talking out of school by saying those guys have been inconsistent in that area and I want them to be consistent, Cheika said.I want them to bring a bit more in the game, thats the engine room of the game.Cheika doubted going for a world record 18th straight win on Saturday would put pressure on the All Blacks.He felt they wouldnt be stressed about facing Australia after scoring ten tries in their two big wins over the Wallabies in August.I would say that they would be thinking that they are going to do it easy, we havent really tested them this year, he said.
