Experiments are Ok but the experimenter should realize they are not the ends but means to ends. Indians have too many very perrenial faults, which Greg C. is not addressing; our cultural conservatism, lack of adventure spirit, lack of killing instinct (murders notwithstanding!) and controling the naturally gifted players like Dhoni, Irfan and Sreesanth. Add to it the predominantly vegetarian diet. This last one keeps away from predominantly field games where strength is utmost important. Take Sania for example: Isn't she fluffy compared to Sharapova and Maurismo and their friends?
