I mean whats that all about?
It looks so made up. It just is not natural to put your arms round one another and huddle..
Other teams gather round in a circle with the captain shouting words of encouragement.
But the indians seem to have a liking for this cuddling. Maybe they are eating parathas and daal in the middle and dont want anyone to see them. or maybe they are ball tampering so no1 can see them.
Or maybe they just like cuddling each other. but it just looks so made up.
i was thinking how to go out at these indians....
they r batting good, bowling good, fileding good....
but thats not all what cricket is about....
they dont cuddle well enuff....
good for nothing indians....
I can remember Pakistan doing the same thing on their tour of India in 1999. Before the start of the game every morning, the Pakistan team would cuddle up ina circle and read the kalma together....
the indians are not allowed to bring their wives along with them on the WC.
i dont see anything wrong with it, gives them comfort and strength.
I think this huddle cuddle is doing wonders for them when they are fielding.
Why don't they do the same while batting. It would be nice to see the openers cuddle up when they reach the center of the pitch. And then when one of them gets out, do a bye-bye cuddle. Also, the new batsman should cuddle up with the other batsman.
sheesh guys!!! nothing else to pick on???
it's a mating ritual.

Asif_k, did you delete them?
In football many teams weren’t allowed to have sex month before the World Cup, or while the World Cup was occuring.
Q: What do you get when you leave 11 men wearing the same clothes alone on a cricket pitch?
A: That! (referring to the cuddling)
Nah to be serious, this huddling is a very good thing. It brings teamwork, faith, leadership, trust between everyone, where everyone is equal importance between the team.
