Whether Team selection will fulfill the expections of the poor cricket mads ( atleast 50% of indian population ) who are expecting that our INDIA can do wonders ?????
dear indian cricket fans,i m also a die hard fan of indian cricket team,but am fed up of all the experiments that he is making with d indian cricket team, ithink that d guys in d indian team shoud work according to them selves n not lisen to guru.greg,greg chappel should d thrown out as a coach of the team and instead an indian should b made.....perhaps saurav ganguly
like always , its never going to be perfect team for any tour. and there are many reasons for it .
but in my opinion, any player be it Tendulkar or Dravid or Sehvag, if does not perform in 5-6 matches at a strech , he should be droped , No exception. I understand failuers in couple of games . but 5-6 games one after other is a Perfect sign of out of form/low confidence and what not. the \'Form building\' of the player should not be a cost to the Team\'s success. I mean think abt it, u keep Sehvag in the team even if he is not performaing for 7-8 games and then he comes out and hits 1/2 century.. which actually does not prove he is back to his best . but he still finds place in the team .. i mean we kept him in the team till he returns to form ! what kind of team handling is this ? Same applies to Suresh Raina, are we going to loose number of matches by keeping him in team just hoping he might win a match or two for us in future (which we dont know when ) This is totally senseless .
What i dont understand is , no matter who is heading the selection committe , the outcome is alwasys the same .. few stupid players stay in the team and few more stupids get added .
If Myself is a Team Selector following will be the selection.
Team should be informed that they must not endorse for advertisements during their career.
Selection based purely on batting performance for the past 5 matches.. even if he is a maestro.
Sachin Sehwag Raina/Kaif Dravid Yuvraj Mongia/Dhoni (Based on Condition if < 30 overs mongia > 35 overs Dhoni)
(Rest batting performance will not be accounted and will be used as slog batsman but will be purely selected based on their bowling performance for the past 5 matches)
If BCCI can forgive the life ban on Azharrudin, why are they not actively considering bringing Ajay Jadeja back? Jadeja was the highest scorer in Ranji Trophy last year and will undoubtedly bring a lot of class in the Indian team. His one-day average of over 37 is matched only by Dravid and Tendulkar in the current team. Besides that he is an excellent fielder and will be invaluable with all his World Cup experience (who can forget his drubbing of Pakistan in the WC QF).
There is no point in changing the coach or captain, the players need to change their attitude first. Play offensive rather than going to a defensive mode and a meeky surrender to the opposite party.
Bowlers should bowl to the weakness of the opposite team rather than their strengths, if U see last match Irfan, Sreesanth and Munaf all bowling short pitched deliveries to trouble the Australians but they are very good in those and they converted that to boundaries. Bowlers should maintain good line and length and bowl wicket to wicket and don;t give any space for the batsman to whack at them.
Nowadays Players take their place for granted, they should be told that no place is granted and even if it sachin or shewag they will be replaced if there is no consistency in their batting. When players play for Team India they should not endorse for the advertisement and all those funky stuffs rather than concentrate on their skills.
Selection commitee should select the team based on current performance rather than previous performance.
It is the right time to sack Greg cheppal who is not doing anything for indian cricket. We have better coaches in India like Kirsh Srikanth, Sunil Gavaskar, Ravi shastri, Navjot S Siddu & Kapil dev.
Also we need a better aggressive captain who is none otherthan Sourav Ganguly.
Otherwords, sack Greg get back Prince of Kolkatta. We will sure get the WORLD CUP Under Sourav.
I agree well with Mr. Venkataraman's views posted on the date Oct 30th of 'HOW TO MAKE INDIA WORLD BEATERS'
First of all, I represent whole India to put an urge to BCCI, to stop playing cricket game against any team, as long as Team India fumbles, crumbles and miserably fails on their basics and show up professionalism.
Taking the same issue a little forward, needless to say that, every cricketing fan is in a deep doubt, if Team India is a real professional cricketing Indian Team oflate.
Though I am an admirer of Tendulkar's classy play, but that was a little while ago, I think no more now.
Nearly from 2 years onwards, he stopped performing especially during crunch matches. His attitude seems to be 'PERFORMING DURING CRUNCH MATCHES IS NO MORE MY CUP OF TEA....'
My words would be a little harsh, but the fact remains the same that Team India's display has been like a 'EUNUCH's' display and good enuf to find excuses, saying this n that.
Rahul Dravid could be a caclulative captain, but lacks killer instinct unlike Sourav Ganguly.
Guys!!! isn't it the high time to bring back Ganguly as the captain and continue the winning streak, as the 2007 world cup is around by.
