Drop SRT, Dravid Laxman and Ganguly. Make Kaif a caption These 4 gys have no motivation to perform Do not give any impoertance to SRT. Let he do what ever he wants open a coffee shop or sell Wadapav or bhel puri who cares. All that matters to us is how much he could perform on the ground and not how may sessions he played. It was more than foolish to put an article telling that SRT practised 3 sessions ... of 15 mins againt some indian college bowlers.. He could not survive aginst Aussies for long. And it will be allways the case on the green top. he is a flat wkt guy

Plan execution
by Cricket Fan on Nov 02, 2004 04:31 PM

Dravid is right when saying that India had plans for Aussies but failed to execute them. Well, the reasons for failing to execute the plans are very simple: Inconsistent opening bowlers, errant wicket keeper. While the entire nation is pointing fingers at our top order for low scores, how many have analysed why they did not get big runs? It is simply because of top class Aussie pace attack backed by fantastic wicket keeping and close-in catching. No doubt Irfan Pathan has bowled his heart out in the first 2 matches, but for every good over by Pathan there was a useless over by Zaheer Khan and hence no pressure built on the Aussie openers. Zaheer and Agarkar looked like club bowlers when compared to McGrath and Gillespie in the 3rd test. Ajit Agarkar should never evey play for India, period!! To top it all, Parthiv Patel has had a horrondeous time behind the stumps and that did very little to the team cause. However it does not mean that good opening bowlers and a good wicket keeper will always ensure success. Windies have lost consistently even when they had Ambrose, Walsh and Ridley Jacobs and so have Pakistan when they had Wasim, Waqar and Moin/Latif. Everyone must do their bit.
