Indian team selection is not based on perfomance
by Bob Seth on Mar 28, 2007 12:06 PM

The indian team consists of 3 players who is the favourite of the selectors, 3 of the BCCI president, 3 of the captian, 3 of the coach. there is no place for perfomance , form etc. In fact rahul dravid has to be blamed for indias humilating defeat, he forced the inclusion of sehwag who was totally out of form as stated by vengsarkar and we got defeated by bangladesh. we indians have been taken for a ride by our polictcians , the police, the judicary now we have this cricketers. all indians should collectively stop using any prodcut endorsed by any playing 11 cricketer.lets hit them back where it hurts.



a radical change has to be made in the selection process where there is no favourtism. Chappeel commented that the seniors did not allow the younger lot to play, sreesanth was not even allowed to play for one single match.maybe it was dravid sehwag and sachin . Secondly we should keep polticians like sharad pawar out of the game else it will be another story of favourtism ,cheap politcis and money making. why dont we have a system where in the perfomance gurantees a slot in the indian playing 11 and not being close to the selectors, kiran more was the centre of controversy some years back where in he was charged for demanding favours / money in turn for a place in the Indain 11. we can have a simple system in place where in we have 5 team s India west, north, south east and central play league matches and the top performing 10 batsmen and 10 bowlers are taken into the final list. The playing 11 should consist of the best 6 batsmen and the best 5 bowlers and after every match the perfomance is reviewed by measurable metrics and the player who cannot deliver is put on the bench and the next player is offered an oppurtunity. I memn in short a team which is slected only by perfomance and not becasue of chamachagiri to the BCCI president, coaches and selectors .
