The subject is a quote from Imran Khan on a recent interview i saw on youtube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hli4kxOqJ0I) Knowing Indian cricket better....what will now follow are gimmicks. Such as....fire the coach, create an India Blue team(they couldnt find good 11 players now they will try and find 22). The problem that ails us is the quality of domestic cricket...and then we wonder how the hell australian players start to perform as soon as they come into the team. Coz they have 6 teams in domestic cricket and we have 1 million teams in Ranji. Aussies dont have a zonal selectional process...we do. India and Pakistan have the most talent but that means nothing, talent doesnt make you throw over the stumps from the boundary. Talent doesnt make you run singles all day. Talent doesnt make you dive on the field and stop that certain four. It requires hardwork. Take a look at these aussie players(http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/australia/content/image/262846.html )...and compare them with our CHAMPS. The only so called unfit players in the aussie team (Shane Warne) are match winners.
Having said all of this....we all know. Nothing will change in Indian cricket. We will make trips to Bandladesh and ZImbabve...invite another weak team to India. Score 1 crore runs and all will be forgotten.
I am sad and angered but thats the true state of any third world country. If BCCI is sold to Wipro tomorrow....i bet things will change. But politicians have ruined our country and now our cricket.
