First we have to remove Greig Chappell. Remove Dravid as captain and bring back Ganguly. Recall all talanted players and send backm sewag. Chappell has destroyed Indian teams morality and no player now feels secured of his place and no game is played with confidence so far.
Coach has nothing to do with the game. For example, Federer without coach had won many titles. It is the will and determination towards the game makes you success, no matter what you do. Many of our players do not have this. They are happy with wins on weak teams or wins at fluke. I would rather see a debut player fighting to win than a experienced player giving up.
as dravid puts it.. its all done. i remember azhar sayin that he is battin well in the nets and used to score ducks in the matches... now there are 2 ways remanining for india to win
> opponent plays badly - can we expect that from australia?
> all tactics, matras done - tried n times - no results -change of ppl reqd. veru has 7 centuries in 160 odd matches - sack him, kaif , pathan.
Sack Chappell!! why to keep him even till the world cup?!! What will be left of the team after that!!
Take Shewag off a few matches!! Its high time he realizes that his place is not for granted!! I can count the number of times in my fingers that he actually performed well!!!
And yeah dont mix politics with cricket?! I dont think it can ever happen though!!! Too much money is made from cricket!! So how can the govt stay away from it?!
Any team to be world beaters need to have members who play their part according to primary strengths and help others when required.
The recent series of experiments showed that bowlers bat well and batsmen bowl better. Cant understand why is it important when players dont maintain their core strength itself.
If we see Australia which is currently the team to beat, we dont see such stupid experiments at higher degree.
Mathew Hayden or Ponting dont bowl to keep their place. Shane warne and Mc Grath dont need to bat at No.3 position. All they did is doing their bit well. Somehow Chappel started doing things that were never there in his own team.One straight result from Chappel's crazy experiments is Sehwags downfall. He lost his natural play and is struggling to play in scientific manner.
The experiments must be stopped and make players play at their strength.
ganguly is like a sachin. so having him in a team is like we are playing with two sachins and that goona help players to play freely. doni should be trained for one down and we need dravid at the nos six.
zaheer khan,nehra and kumble are also required. play with five bowlers all the time. harbajan,pathan,patel,zaheer khan,nehra and kumble are the best ones
I agree with Sahil. First sack Chappell the egoist coach. He is killing the team that Ganguly built. The team under Ganguly had the sprit to fight back and win. Get an Indian Coach.. Have a good balance between Juniors and Seniors in the team. Players like Sehwag who are failling regularly should be ask to play more domestic cricket. And bring back senior players like Laskman, Ganguly and Kumble. Most Important: Sack Chappell.
