Not only batsmen Mr.Viswanath Lot of thigs, Firstly Now-a-days Defination of the One Day Cricket was changed. A team must Bat, Bowl, and also Field well to win. Another major point is poor running between the wickets. Gaguly is no doubt is a good batsmen and he also proved again and again but he only depends upon hitting fours and sixes not concentrating on taking singles and rotating the strike.Look at Lankans when they new Boundries are hard to come they try to take singles and try to score run a ball. Tendulkar has always got problems with in coming deliveries he was bowled in that manner atleast for 25 times. Utthappa seems to be in hurry to score runs. Dhoni got Very good first ball. Yuvraj Bad luck. Sehwag out to a good ball, Agarkar is an allrounder in paper but he never proves that better for him to quit and make way for others. But look at our fielding, Munaf Patel bowling well but he could not dive and field he is also not a fast mover . Dravid could not dive and save runs may be age is the factor. Srilankans placing their shots towards ganguly and knowing that he was little slow comfortbly taking 02 runs without a risk. Except Yuvraj & Agarkar all others are very poor fielders. BCCI should first appoint a Fielding Coach & Bowling Coach.Physical Fitness and Fielding is a major cause of concern. BCCI should also appoint a bowling coach so that our bowlers could learn to bowl slow balls and yorkers or different variations in the time of slog overs. our bowling at the slog overs is also a serious cause of concern. BCCI should make it mandatory that all Ranji Trophy teams in the Country should have a Bowling and Fielding coach and One physical trainer. Ex. Ranji players should be engaged in each State. BCCI should also concentrate on finding good hitters who can hit the ball in first 20 overs as well as in Slog Overs.( 20-20 format should be encouraged to find good hitters) BCCI should bring out a Plan to have Cricket Academies in All State Capitals to Groom young talent by selecting atleast 20 players from each state. Indian team should have a Good Coach (Foreign/Indian) Good Fielding Coach ( Why dont we request Jhonty Rhodes to coach our team) And a bowling Coach ( Foreign/Indian) Young players should be promoted and should be given more chances.
