Seniors
by Upadrasta PardhaSaradhi on Nov 06, 2007 10:16 PM   Permalink

India need to move ahead and think ahead of 3 greats.
This is the right time for this.
We should play a mix of senior and junior players and have a rotation policty to groom the junior players and make them adjusted to the competetive cricket before seniors retires.

Make Dhoni the captian.
Indian always should play with 6 4 1 combination in the test matches and among 6 Batsman, 3 should be seniors among Dravid, Sachin, Saurav, Lakshman and 3 should be juniors ( Rohi Sharma,Jaffer,Dinesh Karthik,Yuvraj,Ghambhir,badarinath, yousf Pathan ....etc). It doesnt matter even if these youngsters fails. You should stick to them.

But the problem is that we r not so patience with the youngsters. If they fails in 2 matches, we call them Idiots and ask to bring back the senior players.

Playing seniors is OK, but we should have a long-term plan to groom the youngsters before the seniors retires. We should agree that we have only 2 years with us before these seniors go off and we should use this 2 years very intelligently.
