I second people when they say, let bygones be bygones....yes, we were pathetic in the WC and lets be men enough and accept it!!
At the same time, lets take some solid actions. I am not for anyone being dropped or selected based on the whims and fancies of people, media, selectors, BCCI etc; lets get more logical!
How about constituting a good system; firstly need is to organise a quick succession matches or a series. Lets cover the contemporary formats, one dayers/20-20s/three dayers, let this be exhaustive and cover most of our contemporary domestic players. The only condition, ALL HAVE TO PLAY! (no excuse for 'established' players).
This done, at the end of the series (you may even like to invite foreign participation to tweak up the competition) and then purely on merit, select the best 20 guys who will constitute the nuclues of the future team. Lets these matches then continue with the selected players and add new probables to continue this competition/selection.
Let selected players participate in public forums and field questions thrown by the media and the general public. This to strengthen them mentally. Let a pschyo work on them at the same time.
Now you have a team, now let them play a rest of India combination, then start out with one-dayers. Analyse their strengths and weaknesses and them make a final analysis for a future one-day team/test team etc!
