Indian cricket team needs a meaningful change
by Peter Fernandes on Oct 31, 2006 01:19 PM



After the disastrous display by the so called best batting line up Indian cricket team needs some drastic changes if we are really interested to become champs.

1) Greg Chapell needs to go as the team is now direction less with his experiments.Geoffrey Boycott can be the new coach as he knows the Indian team better than anyone else.

2) Dravid does not make a good intelligent captain. Sachin should be asked to lead. Remember the change in fortune of West Indies team after Lara was appointed as captain? Ganguly is the other choice as captain as he was a tactful leader and he is still worth. Remember Mike Brearleys role?

3) R P Singh, V R Singh, and Irfan Pathan do not deserve a place in the team

4) Sachin & Sehwag should be the regular openers

5) Dravid should be the full time one down batsman. Why should Pathan come one down when we have a specialist batsman like Dravid? Whenever situation demands Dhoni can come one down

6) India should always play 3 pacers, 2 spinners and 5 batsmen with their roles clearly defined. If any player is not performing his role he should be reasonably given a chance and then shown the door regardless of seniority.
