Ideas for Indian cricket I don't know if anyone thought of this
Now that there is a bowling, batting and fielding coach, there should be a way of accounting players for their efforts. The respective coaches and their support staff must grade the platers and rank them according some standards (same as the standards used by ICC or any known standard)
1. Have a fielding ranking of all 25-40 players 2. Have a bowling ranking of all players 3. Have a batting ranking.
Notice that order is India's fielding(weakest), bowling (Weaker) and then batting (weak). Surprisingly though the bowling in recent times has been a tad bit better than the batting.
This grading system must be in place for all domestic cricket too. This give a huge sense of accountability for all players and coaches and selectors concerned.
Finally, Top ranked fielder, bowler and batsman of the year will be given an award, with a chance to place his endorsement of choice through the BCCI. Now this ranking should be compared to world ICC standard and if any player is on the top of that list for a full year a special award should be made in his honour.
Coaches on all levels need to be graded and ranked too, to develop better coaches and standards in India. Use of technology to the fullest must be encouraged.
Now there is only one problem with this idea and that is players play selfishly. So for batting and bowling a grading system in which the points earned by a player in an India loss is half the points earned in an India win. For any good fieling there can be no selfishness hence an equal point grading for a loss or win for this aspect. This should give a lot more incentive to play unselfishly for the team.
Let me know what anyone thinks of this idea.
PS: To everyone out there - Don't complain and fight about the terrible things that have already happened. Strive in trying to see what went wrong and fix it by making a positive change.
