I believe this is(losing matches) nothing new to Indian team. As we know Indian team only wins 25% of its matches. The Indian team is known for losing matches on many occasions. They hardly win any matches. But still the Indian people are crazy expecting too much from their team. Indian people should realise their cricket team is not good enough to play against mighty teams. They are just like Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and any other low considered teams.

Dravid or any other who would give interview should simply say, "We are known for losing matches and it has happened again". Do not mess up the situation by giving too much unwanted/unbelievable excuses.

Please correct my sentences/two paragraphs.

Re: Shane Warne is going to quit

It's cumbersome, rather than ungrammatical:

1. "Shane Warne insisted he had not had any thoughts about quitting international cricket /// after bowing out of Test match action in England /// as a member of the losing side for the first time."

Ambiguous, too:

1a. Between "bowing out of Test match action" and the time of the interview, he had no thoughts about quitting international cricket.

1b. At no time has he had thoughts about quitting international cricket.
