A very well written article. I fail to understand why the 6 wise men would not like to face reality. The reality being that either way they have to trip. They have to decide which is the better side to trip on. I am sure that the decision taken by the BCCI committee stems from the fact that they really cannot take a decision. Therefore this compromise formula. I think Politics should go out the window and the Board stand up for Performance. What Greg Chapell is doing is the best thing. Our team has super stars nobody can tell them anything. I think Greg Chapell is the one who will be able to say things and whip the team into a disciplined and ruthless outfit like the Australian Team. Selection in the Indian Team either the One Day or the Test Team should only be on present performance and not past performance. If you look at the ICC Ratings for the One Day matches India ranks 7th but we still consider ourselves to be the 2nd best team in the world. We must wake up from our slumber and face reality in the face by accepting that the Sri Lankan's, Pakistanis and many other teams are better than ours. There are a lot of things that need to be done strategically as well as in the mind.
