contd..maybe that way Ganguly probably had a ready boot for that ! Dravid imagines everybody is like him(capable & willing to learn)- which is untrue !
As for Chappel - he is trying wildly different ideas with training (such as "commando" training) - I think to an extent that type of stuff is ok - but i think concentrating on cricketing skills would do more good -
I liked a point made by Peter Roebuck in his column very much - He said - Instead of coaxing Sehwag to trim down - offer him "as many samosas as he wants" if he performs - I think this reflects a clearer understanding of Indian culture - rather than Chappel's. Maybe this might work !
Persist with Powar - I think he is a genuine off spinner - capable of doing good on all tracks !
Please dont play Pathan at number 3 all the time !! In fact his bowling has gone so bad - that his position in the team should be questioned real hard.
Bring back Balaji (if he is fit).
Retain Patel (he is pretty quick & uses his brain - I think the game against Aus - he may have been forced to play with injury ...)
Sreesanth is ok - but he needs to conserve his so called "aggressiveness" & convert it into performance .. contd...
