It is very much evident that if we do not continue to raise the standard of the game in Indian team, in all departments(batting included) of cricket, we will continue to produce spikes of victory and failures. Following is my opinion: 1.Infuse young players 2.Make seniors understand that their position is entirely upto their performance 3.Reduce political influence(easy to say though) 4.Raise the selection criteria by scores in recent matches and current form of the player only 5.Make Indian team see all Australian matches to learn from them
