Indian cricket is Sinking
by MB on Sep 19, 2007 02:07 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

No Coach, No Captain, 75 year old Manager, A hapless team in the 20-20 tournament.. Even Bangladesh has lifted its level a few more notches.. A Board which puts a wrong email id; in its advertisement for coach.. A selector without a pay ... The most unprofessional cricket board in the world ... Any hopes for the future

Worst team and worst selection. I don't why they select same players for years and years. Many people who are in the team are complaining about schedule. Why they don't introduce proper rotation policy to give chance to younger players. We were watching this same kind of team for many years and they are doing any miracles. If we look at the overall wining rate its always below 50% matches what they played. So why don't they give chance to young players. Wining and loosing doesn't make any difference as it is not making any difference since many many years.

Since 1990 We gave atleast 100 youngsters chance of being in the team. But no one ever was able to hold on to their place. Thats why we have to depend on those 3 alone.

And look at the 'A' team players.. they will never get to come in the main team. Poor guys will retire in the 'A' team.

The richest cricket body doesn't have a website of its own. No new stadium of note has come up recently. The domestic circuit has seen no innovation and nothing has been done to attract crowds to the domestic games. Even Twenty20 originated in England, despite India being the so called cricketing whorehous!

I agree with your views. Politicians like Pawar are heading the BCCI for its great wealth.. Will this guy ever head the hockey federation ?? Of course he can bring the BCCI to the levels of hockey federation .. It really pains the millions of cricket supporters like you and me.

When you watch the 20-20 cup .. I am amazed to see the Indian team players looking at each other in vain ... Yaar how to play this form of cricket !!!! And kudos to the Pak team; the way they beat Australians
