Senseless

How long will you take the 'sahara' of words like 'young', 'energetic' etc. etc.....??? We all saw the great experimentation during Guru Greg's regime which 'enabled' us to be thrown out of WC in the first round....

Young blood is good to have but there are some genuine cricketers like Venugopal Rao, Shikhar Dhawan, M S Gony which need to be in...... If you go by the performance (read it consistency), Pragyan Ojha is not that consistent.... Also, Uthappa is not at all consistent..... Also Suresh Raina is back in the team just by playing two decent knocks in T20.....

I have three questions -

1. Why are we selecting players for 50 over internationals on the basis of 20 over matches which require more of slogging than being technical? Rohit Sharma is one player who played decent cricketing shots. Rest all the current players slogged and it wont help in a 50 over international.

2. Whom do you call as a young player?? What do our great selectors want? A winning team or a pile of junk collected in the name of young??

3. Will these young players get into playing 11? Or they are being taken to Bangladesh to act as 'spot boys'?

Well Bangladesh should not be a problem for us but we need to check for Asian Cup.... Waat lag sakti hai boss....
