Please provide that damn list of "Talented Young Players" If you can't, then kep quiet and wait till "really" talented young ones emerge, which will certainly be good for Indian Cricket. I heard Kapil Dev say that half a Sachin ( totally agree that injuries have made him that) is still good enough. If you are referring to Uthappa as the "young" one, then go and check your stats as well. Also, what did Dhoni and Yuvraj, the young guns do?
The fact is all failed. Why could not the bowlers bowl out Bangladesh for less than 190? Every other team has done it. Of course to idiots that is also a fault of Sachin and Saurav and Veeru. In fact not bowling Sachin & Veeru in time and for many overs in Bangladesh game was fatal too. Sachin and Veeru were bowled for 8 overs together for 25 runs (3.125 per over), the other 'regular bowlers ( it is painful to call them bowlers) bowled 40.3 overs for 167 runs at 4.14 rpo. I guess Saci=hin and Veeru refused to bowl "underhand" and hence Mr Chappell told the "poor" under pressure from senior players Dravid, not to bowl them. The bigger problem is our captain listned or even came up with that idead himself. If anyone, it is the coach and captain who refrained India from winning. That match was very much winnable ever after scoring only 190 odd.
Please go and read about all those more than 10/15 matches that Sachin has won on his bowling alone. He somehow always performs with the ball whenever he fails with the bat. It is sorry state of affairs that someone like me knows this but the Captain and Coach do not.
Shame on you. You don't even know what is really wrong. It is the bowling and bowling and bowling. And everyone is out to blame the batsmen for their few failures. These are the same batsment who have carried India as late as in Jan and Feb of 2007 with their bats when nothing could be expected of the bowling.
