Ideas for Indian cricket I don't know if anyone thought of this
Now that there is a bowling, batting and fielding coach, there should be a way of accounting players for their efforts. The respective coaches and their support staff must grade the platers and rank them according some standards (same as the standards used by ICC or any known standard)
1. Have a fielding ranking of all 25-40 players 2. Have a bowling ranking of all players 3. Have a batting ranking.
Notice that order is India's fielding(weakest), bowling (Weaker) and then batting (weak). Surprisingly though the bowling in recent times has been a tad bit better than the batting.
This grading system must be in place for all domestic cricket too. This give a huge sense of accountability for all players and coaches and selectors concerned.
Finally, Top ranked fielder, bowler and batsman of the year will be given an award, with a chance to place his endorsement of choice through the BCCI. Now this ranking should be compared to world ICC standard and if any player is on the top of that list for a full year a special award should be made in his honour.
Coaches on all levels need to be graded and ranked too, to develop better coaches and standards in India. Use of technology to the fullest must be encouraged.
Now there is only one problem with this idea and that is players play selfishly. So for batting and bowling a grading system in which the points earned by a player in an India loss is half the points earned in an India win. For any good fieling there can be no selfishness hence an equal point grading for a loss or win for this aspect. This should give a lot more incentive to play unselfishly for the team.
Let me know what anyone thinks of this idea.
PS: To everyone out there - Don't complain and fight about the terrible things that have already happened. Strive in trying to see what went wrong and fix it by making a positive change.

ganguly should stop playing politics and promoting groupism. He ditched dalmiay and dravid he can backstab his gangster like bajjik yuvraj sewag , dhoni , zhirkhan dravid knows that ravishastri, sahrad pawar, vengsrarkar with sahcin and ganguly and his gang are promoting groupism, he still accepted captaincy?? How can u say he is coward?? HE is fighting with board for player%u2019s contract, endorosments, and asking for media manager and a saying of captain to choose the younger players selection .. are these not leadership qualities ? What is so called being aggressive captain %u2013taking out shirt and rooling shirt yelling some bad words OR AFTER HISTORIC WIN IN sa, WEAVING THE IND FLAG AND THNKING SUPPORTERS??
Dravid played under captaincy of sachin and ganguly, but he did not promote groupism or negative cricket. He anchored the success for ganguly%u2019s captaincy in odis and test.. But when he was leading team some players did not support him. If players are not for team cause & play deliberately negative cricket and gifted match to Bangladesh SL, the players should be balmed.? There is an opinion sachin plays for records and when in crucial matches he wont' ber there for team service. IF he is great legent, why he insisted to open batting. ?? IF IND PLAYERS FIGHT THE BATTLE ON THE GROUND RATHER THAN IN DRESSING ROOM THEY WOULD NOT HAVE OUT OF Wc IT IS NOT LOSS OF DRAVID BUT ALSO GANGULY AND SACHIN. LATEST DEVELOPMENTS AND PERFROMANCE IN wc MATCHES DID NOT BRING ANY LAURELS TO BOTH GANGULY AND SACHIN and performance brings ICC awards and dravid's career is best example for that ganguly and sachin both are better stroke players and odi opening pair and got more runs and 100s than dravid but DRAVID STILL AHEAD OF BOTH OF THEM XII IN ICC RANKING... dadagiri groupism politics will bring bad name if ganguly thinks he took revenge it was his loss also. do u think he and sachin will be there in team for next WC A HORSE CAN BE TAKEN TO RIVER AND FORCE TO DRKIN WATER . BUT HORSE CAN ONLY SALLOW WATER OR VOTMIT IT IS A PLAYER TO DEICE TO PLAY FOR TEAM, OR SELF.

Dravid gave his unconditional support and sacrifices to all captians he played under. Check statistics for last7-8 years and see the contributions of dravid forr little success india had WHY CAN%u2019T OTHER PLAYERS DO THE SAME NOIW??CRICKET ts a team game and ALL PLAYERS have to contribute from bat and ball Captian and coach did not tell senior players to not take singles, waste more balls than runs scored, poor running bet wkt, drop catches, give so many extra to bowlers, por batting and throwing wkt by playing silly shots%u2026. , leadership can only take the horse to the water but the horse as to drink it and not vommit.
Even though all senior players are not supporting him, he is fighing with board for contract, endorosement issie He took fight against chetan desai/ dirty report leak. he fought for Sehwag/pathan in the selection meeting where the W C squad was picked. . Sewag is highest rungetter and socred 100 against bermeada others batsman did not score 100 even against bermada Dravid refused to identify any teammate as doing groupism or out of form or some players are rotten apple. Dravid accepted the responsibility for defeat in public infront of media( sachin can go media against some bad report / email leak but he never accepted the defeat that he also failed with bat) Dravid also asked for one media manager, ad managaer and a saying of captain in selection of youngsters, How can anyone say he is not aggressive or inimaginative or spineless??? 65% think Tendulkar shd retire 61% think Ganguly shd go. 56% support venkatest prasad for bowling coach 92% think Robin is a good fit for fielding coach.
Dinesh Karthick of the most supported player , with 95% asking him to be in. He is followed by Dravid and Yuvraj singh. Agit agarkar is the most unwanted, 81% want him out, follwed by 78% for Harbajan singh. on www.cricketvotes.com.. cricketvotes.com/news.html
