The Indian team consists of 3 players who is the favorite of the selectors, 3 of the BCCI president, 3 of the captain, 3 of the coach. there is no place for performance , form etc. In fact rahul dravid has to be blamed for Indians humiliating defeat, he forced the inclusion of sehwag who was totally out of form ( as stated by vengsarkar ) and we got defeated by bangladesh. we Indians have been taken for a ride by our politicians , the police, the judiciary now we have this cricketers. all Indians should collectively stop using any product endorsed by any playing 11 cricketer. lets hit them back where it hurts.
a radical change has to be made in the selection process where there is no favoritism. Chappeel commented that the seniors did not allow the younger lot to play, sreesanth was not even allowed to play for one single match. maybe it was dravid sehwag and sachin . Secondly we should keep politicians like sharad pawar out of the game else it will be another story of favoritism ,cheap dirty politics and money making. why don%u2019t we have a system where in the performance guarantees a slot in the Indian playing 11 and not being close to the selectors, kiran more was the center of controversy some years back where in he was charged for demanding favors / money in turn for a place in the Indian 11. we can have a simple system in place where in we have 5 team s India west, north, south ,east and central play league matches and the top performing 10 batsmen and 10 bowlers are taken into the final list. The top perfomance is based purely on measurable metrics. The playing 11 should consist of the best 6 batsmen and the best 5 bowlers and after every match the performance is reviewed by measurable metrics and the player who cannot deliver is put on the bench and the next player is offered an opportunity. I mean in short a team which is selected only by performance and not because of chamachagiri to the BCCI president, coaches and selectors .
let us resolve today to not to buy/use any services/product endorsed by the playing 11.

There are certain problems with ur kind of selection procedure, but overall what u r saying is correct. Also, ur strategy seems far more rational than the one employed by these blody selectors. Shabash!
