i have seen since India won the world cup in 1983 that, there are lots of guys making in the international debut, but very few survive in the long run, recently manoj tiwari is being scape goat, though there is lot of talent availabe in the Indian, they are not test on different kind of pitches, there fitness levels are not upto international standards, in domestic cricket, all ranji teams dont have good fast bowlers, our wickets mainly help batsmen then bowlers, even if the help bowlers they are only upto spinners,though the BCCI has made 2 stadium from each zone to improve the pace bowling, they are not up to mark, recently guys like suresh raina, parthiv patel, rohit sharma,robin utthappa, vrv singh, rp singh, gautham gambhir,etc etc are made in to international debut and played few matches for India, they did not play to the expections. we need to groom the young talents and we should not be in a hurry to make them debut for the country, they should perform in the domestic cricket for 2 to 3 years and make them mature to the International level
suresh raina had a very good future as well. so did mohd kaif, when they came.. are bhai.. let them prove themselves first, especially on foreign tracks..
May I know what made you say Rohit Sharma is more talented than Manoj Tewary. If you look at the runs that Manoj has amassed this Ranji season and 20-20 format, he is way ahead of Rohit. Also, coming to the flair and excitement factor, it was for everyone to see during the Ranji final , when he tonked Zaheer Khan effortlessly over long on .. remember ?

wake up dudes, these pplcan play only in ranji and on low , flat wickets. Look at what happened to uthappa and raina they play in india like tendulkar's and ganguly but abroad they are they fail miserably. So wake up guys dont just take a player to slies only through performances in what is called a meaning;ess ranji trophy

Though I agree that our performance on seaming and fast wickets are pathetic, I note a lot of pessimism is creeping in. We are becoming no hoppers. May be,the pendulum has to go farthest the other way, to rest again at realistic levels.
Sicerely, hopw this world cup is a bad dream and we will merge stronger having learnt the lessons.
