Team India slammed for go-karting

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Indian team has been criticised in some quarters for attending a go-karting session here yesterday after being drubbed by Australia in the Melbourne and Sydney Tests.

The team has not trained for three days after the Sydney Test which ended inside four days. "For the third day in running, the beleaguered team chose to keep itself away from cricket.

While the cricket fans back home are up in arms and former players are baffled by their take-it-easy approach, the team is insistent that taking mind off the game is the best way to get ready for the decisive game.

Down 0-2 in the four-Test series with crushing defeats in Melbourne and Sydney, the third game is a must-win for the tourists who are beset with bowling and batting issues," reported PTI.
