Sharmaji...Being optimistic is very good. But sometimes we got to be practical too rather than being sentimental.
Just make a 1-to-1 comparison of the Indian players with the members of other teams such as Aussies, Kiwis, SA, WI, Srilanka or England in all three areas of the game. For a moment forget how many records our players have set and concentrate on how they have played in the recent times.
