Scoring three centuries at Lord's on three different tours to England Mr.Dilip Vengsarkar established himself as one of the ablest batsman the game has ever seen. His clarity of vision and foresight are very important for the team's progress.
Many among us feel that Team India is soon going to be the foremost team challenging one and all without further hiccups. The team needed a courageous Indian at the helm with a backbone to lead. Unfortunately this was not the case for almost two years where players, administrators and fans spent much of the time experiencing nightmare after nightmare.
In a country of over a billion people where thousands of boys play cricket in almost every major state, identifying a large pool of batsmen, bowlers, wicketkeepers and allrounders should not be a difficult task at all. The players need to be fine tuned and given the breaks at the right time.
Wise use of the rotation policy has to be in place where players and sponsors are told in advance that they will be given opportunities and honour of playing for the country. In a democratic country like ours equal opportunities to every citizen should be the guiding principle.
As batsman and player Mr. Dilip Vengsarkar was known for his elegance, upright stance and his penetrating gaze to survey the field before he took fresh guard. Now he and his co-selectors are showing the willingness and courage to translate their experience into fruitful deeds. Best wishes to them in their efforts.
u should be happy like kiran more dude ask money from platers like abhijeet kale to get in the team......vengsarkar is useless of all selectors where is the young team...all i see is old people.............

he is useless or u r useless? we all know the answer to that. vengsarkar is a good selector and has been making good choices. he is far better than more at least. if u blame an experienced cricketer like him, u will keep blaming whoever is selected as chairman of selectors.

I think there should be following 2 teams playing 3 ODI series.Best team or the players should be sent to Upcoming series against SA.yes I m not an expert it's personal opinion. My question is Who will win and by how much difference?

ur idea is good. rotation should be continuous. don't play every player for every match and wait till he gets injured. instead rotate judiciously making sure we have good combination of youth and experience at all times while making sure no player is over-stressed.
The Onus of keeping the bowlers fit lies on the team physio!!!!....Duh-uh and to think all this while we were under the impression it was the selectors who were supposed to take care of that....i used to really like "colonel" during his playing days.but from the time he was not considered for the India coach in 2001...he seems to suffering form acture "foot-in-the-mouthitis", be it the Pathan fiasco or commenting on Sehwag being Dravid's personal fav... and then coyly states that there are 4 other selectors as well so he wont comment on selection issues...hehehe....another Jaywant Lele in the making me thinks......
Vengsarkar says ""The ball moves in the air and off the wicket more in England than anywhere else. The batsman is never set, for the old ball too does enough to get wickets," he said.
"I feel while batting, concentration is the key and staying side-on and not squaring up is vital for success. Every batsman has a different technique. The key is to adapt quickly to the conditions."
We are all waiting to see how this victorious squad adapts quickly to the conditions.
Realistically an acid test awaits the batsmen; the bowlers will do allright.
BCCI has so far failed to develop an effective rotation policy in order to give enough rest and training to the players so that they can compete at the top level.
BCCI has also failed to develop good cricketers including Fast Bowlers, Spin Bowlers, Opening Batsmen, Fielders, All-rounders and even good Wicket-keepers.
