The article is good and rightly stresses that we have to now bring back the youngsters and try them out for a longer duration, which the coach wanted when he took over..
However, why is the BCCI not taking share of the blamce ? Why are they not going for Green pitches in the domestic grounds ?
Guess they are scared that India will lose out of the advantage of having spinners who will atleast win matches on the Indian picthes !! But then isn't even a Monty Panesar considered a better spinner than any in India ?
Our domestic matches are won or lost at the Toss of the coin !! First innings lead decides the points ?!
How about having 2 picthes for each domestic match ? One fast green top and other spinning one ! Each innings to be played in one pitch and the team winning the toss can chose to 'bat or bowl' and the losing captain gets to decide which pitch they wud like to start with !
Its time for serious introspection and time to use this time to build a new bench strength and give more chances to Kaif, Raina, RP Singh, L Balaji, Uthappa, and may others...
Yuvraj can be groomed to be the future ODI captain, while Dravid continues with the test team..
Have a 3-man selection committee with members having experince of playing atleast 30 test matches and 100 ODIs. There can be an advisory committe comprising of lower experience players & regional coaches who can give their reports on the player performances...
Hope the BCCI will be able to think differently and logically...
