1. Drop Suckrav Gaandgooli now!!! That guy is worthless, unathletic, lethargic and plays politics. He is a team/morale-killer!!!

2. Forbid the centrally contracted cricketers from having any other source of income that exploits theier presence in Team BCCI.

3. Retain Dravid as captain. Dont even think of making Sachin the captain. He is one of the most unimaginative captains ever. So predictable. Remember Jayasuriya-Mahanama mammoth partnership!! That happened under his belt. And Team BCCI lost on Indian soil for the first time in many decades to SA under him. I was at that match - the one just before Cronjegate. He was still unimaginative.

4. Ban Agarkar for life. He has had his chances and never came up big. Pick young fast bowlers and dont be a team that depends on three spinners with 8 men around the bat appealing for everything. That does not work outside India. Make pitches that reward fast bowlers and not darpok batsmen like Ganguly.

5. Pick athletic and fit players for one dayers. Players who can run singles, rotate strike and field well. For tests go with cricketing skill.

6. Have one TEST team for all of India but then have four one day teams. If England, Ireland, Scotland and Holland can field 11 players with less than 1/2 of our population then we can slo field four teams - South, West, North and Esat-Central. That way criket will become more local and also give oppurtunities to many more people.

Okay lets looks at each of your suggestions:

1. Ganguly has an average of 65 in his last 10 ODIs. How will you drop him?

2. This is a democractic country not a dictatorship. Noone can restrict anyone else.
If you do side business, will your employer be able to forbid that business?

3. HA HA HA. Dravid is the most unimaginative captain i have ever seen. He didn't have any views of his own. Sachin is the best man to lead India out of this mess.

4. Agarkar has been best Indian bowler for last one year. His stats are 25 ODIs, 36 wickets, avg 27 and ER 4.57. How can you ban the best performing bowler of last one year?

5. We had Kaif and Raina. Did it help? For a good team, foremost we need good batsmen and bowlers. Rest comes later or as a bonus.

6. This is a stupid and unrealistic suggestion. Be real and talk practically ratheer than anything that comes to your mind.

Did we win anything major? NO. In fact he was so slow that the other team liked to keep him at the crease. No singles, no rotatimng strike, giving up his wicket at wrong time, atrocious filding, playing politics. Why keep him?



2. This is a democractic country not a dictatorship. Noone can restrict anyone else.

Exactly this is a democrcay. BCCI is a private organization. If acting in ADs is deemed to be bad, they can ban it. Its their product. BCCI gets its money from US - the paying public who are pissed that prima-donnas are making money for doing NOTHING. It is in BCCis interest to keep us happy.

3. HA HA HA. Dravid is the most unimaginative captain i have ever seen. He didn't have any views of his own. Sachin is the best man to lead India out of this mess.

Adding to this list, throw shewag out of team for ever. Teach harbajan a lesson, dhoni should be repalced with dinesh karthik. Should ask MRF foundation for some good fast bowlers.
