indian teams batting strtatgegy
by Nishant Singhal on Nov 27, 2006 01:37 AM  Permalink 

Dear Editor,
These comments or question, whichever way you may want to put, I
wonder if the strategy of Indian team specially related to batting
order is correct, keeping in view the conditions of African pitches. In
my view, at present team strategy seems to be centered on sub
continental pitches where opening batsmen has to score as much as
possible taking full advantage of power play. However, in Africa this
would not work as pitches are fast and thus your best batsmen are
exposed to worst batting conditions, which appears to be brave
Strategy but not clever strategy.
on the other hand, it would be better if openers should be asked to
pass few over without loosing wickets and moreover openers should
not be the best scoring batsmen rather more technically
accomplished ones (but not Dravid), which would allow the scoring
batsmen to come at the stage when the ball is few over old as well as
pitch is better assessed by the openers and thus providing better
opportunity to score runs. Hopefully these comments will be made
available to our coach and captain so that they can give a thought on
this strategy.

At least India was winning under the captency of Saurav

Now I hope everyone should realise that all cannot be leaders or captain. No matter how Rahul Dravid plays well, he cannot bring India back to the winning streak.
Saurav didn't play well, but at least he had the charisma and capability to make the others play, take decision and give victory to India.
Shame on Indian selectors for getting rid of Saurav and selecting a team which so far have given only shame to the Billion Indians.

Indian Team's Ego
by arun on Nov 27, 2006 12:12 AM  Permalink 

In the midst of a series washed out by the SA, there exist a question why is indian team afraid of exposing dhoni to the bowling attack to the place that he deserves. Look at the stats and according to the performances of top players like sachin, sehwag and many more who fails a hundred times still retaining the bloody place through which they put the team in pressure in very first over. why not try someone who is inform top of the order? but who will ask them to step down, there is ego amongst Indian Team and that was highlighted by the controversy of Ganguly and Chappell. So, Ideally now if Sachin or Sehwag can step down why not try this way iff there egos allows.
