As a cricket loving Indian it was really disappointing to see India Once again tamely surrenders against the beatable Aussie(proven by West Indies).From the start of the game the pressure was showing on almost all the players even Sachin was no exception.I personally feel that the following strategies would make a significant impact on the performance of the Team:- 1. Mental Toughness:-Believing in oneself and fighting spirit needs to reiterated to the entire Indian team including the team management. 2. Allocating and also actually spending money to build infrastructure at the domestic level to find young talent and harness them. 3.The monetory benefits to the player should be driven by performance and restriction on the modelling assignments.(If INDIA lose a match then the entire team will get only 50% of the match fees) 4. Tough physical excercise regime to make the players physically fit and may be some meditation for enhancing concentration and mental strength. 5. Fixing a quota of matches to be played at domestic or county level by each player to be eligible for selection. I hope our so called sensible team management comes across these suggestion and act on it. Bhuwan
