The latest & greatest news, reviews, scores and players from Field Hockey,
Just another 6 months for Junior World Cup. The test match against Argentina needs to be really analyzed. How many PC’s? How many converted? Just depending only on Diwakar’s flicks? PC Variations? Set plays, etc…The team as it is…surviving only through individual brilliance… which has to be integrated into a teams effort… Must have more competitions, playing against Australian teams would help the team a lot….
