India is having maore than 100 drore population but we are unable to get 11 allrounder players. Why, because of seniour players they dont want to give chance to youngesters. we dont need to have two teams, what we need all is a team that will play for India and not for the personal records

I am sorry that I am forced to write it again, nothing will happen by replacing captain, coach, selectors, players and what more enen BCCI..
The only solution to all the cricketing problems is MAKE FAST PITCHES and u will see the quality of players within a couple of years and with this system THE FLAG OF INDIAN CRICKET WILL ALWAYS FLY HIGH whether selectors,coach, captain, BCCI all become faulty together !!!!!Because in ground only good players are assured to perform and if we make a system to develope good players then is there anything need to be work with?????
This system is working very well in New Zealaland and australia because once to make a good system it will be a guarantee that only good players will be developed!!!!
Reply must if u have some knowledge about cricket.

Both, I think. You can't ignore the importance of good selectors. But yes, fast pitches will surely improve our overseas record.
Gilchrist showed how to play the moving ball the other day. He constantly stayed on the backfoot, moved with the swing & then hammered the ball like he always does.
We don't have too many who play well on the backfoot. Tendulkar does, but only when he is in "that" mood. Raina showed glimpses of good backfoot play. Kaif manages it now & then. Not sure about the others...

India is having one billion people alright. But, quality does not come out of quantity. One more thing is in a democratic nation, too many cooks spoil the brath. As the saying goes one drop of poison is enough to spoil one pot of milk, few people are enough to destroy Indian cricket and the rset of billion will be only silent spectators. It is high time we shut talking and start doing.
