What a waste of time and space by the author. There are not many people in india who are ready to accept that other countries have improved miles. we are still looking players by statistics. Bowlers like VRV Singh bowl well and these stars drop catches in double digits but he does not get selected as the statistics do not show wickets against his name. Similarly karthik, Suresh raina etc are not stars. But they play as a team and try to win. Our selectors go on shopping and look at statistics while selecting the team.
