That's right nothing has changed. India won the world cup in 1983 with a mediocre team, some good players, some ordinary and good fielding only as a flash. They still think with the same strategy of just bowling and containing, fielding like in a test match and packing with batsmen to play through initial overs and try and win the game. Other teams have gone from there. Newzealand and Srilanka devised stategy to hit out in the initial overs and it paid for them with NZ reaching semis in 1992 and Srilanka in 1996. South Africa gave definition for fielding and Australia in maintaining the higher run rate at all times even with the fall of wickets. We are still following our 80s strategy and no wonder it is working out. Dravid says we can place the non fielders in non critical positions to compensate. Play 4 openers since u are not sure of who will ever fire and guys like Agarkar who is for ever and never reached the top. Tendulkar is to play around the team but he is never around. You can only except a flash of win somewhere not in regularity. I can bet that they can be beaten by Bangladesh again if they play the same team.
