Rotation policy is the best remedial solution. consistent performers irrespective of age should always be in the team. Self doubters should not find a place in the playing 11. It has been ages since we won a one day international against australia convincingly. Australians rarely choke under pressure and seldom outplayed and that is the reason they are champions. It will take a lot of homework for indians to achieve and match their level of consistency. Guys who fail in crunch situations and those whose dismissal the opposition team has sorted out often should monitored carefully. The classic examples are sehwag and gambir.At least sehwag has some attractive shots and he scores a quickfire 30 or 40 runs and perish. Gambir's cheap dismissal time and again means we are playing with just ten batsman. In all the matches his dismissal is either plum lbw or outside the offside ball slashed hard for a simple catch to first slip or third man. Agarkar has be made a joker in many discussion boards. His batting is pathetic, his bowling expensive (some wickets offcourse in the end over when the batsmen slog). He plays for the opposition team and not for india.
RE:Advice to BCCI for ODI IndianTeam

How do you morons think u are? Big advisors!! Go and do something productive for the country first and don't challenge the people like senior players who have done something for the country, if u like/agree or not. If u are so knowledgeable, why didn't u guys play and then talk the talk? Advices - My FOOT, Over and out
the reason why I brought Uthappa in middle order is he can chase the total well.... and in 35th overs...new ball is being taken...at that moment its better..a opener play that new ball.
the reason to bring Sachin and Dravid at 5th and 6th is that.....young player will play better cricket and Aggressive cricket keeping in mind that Seniors are there ahead to take care if anything wrong happens.

Sports Fans: a good SPORTS QUIZ show LIVE: I suggest all sports fans, to watch BSNL Sports Quiz (Live) shown on DD Podhigai (Tamil) at 2210 to 2300 on every Saturday, a gem of the program. Although, I dont understand Tamil, still I cherish to watch the program, as all questions are shown in english (like KBC) and to be answered by viewers only. It is a live show, where all viewers can call and participate to answer the questions. Pl watch it. Any comments on program from friends esp from Tamilians.
A good selection and thankyou for bringing MURALI KARTIK inside the squad.But What about VIRU,VENGSARKAR sir.Is Ganguly is fully fit? Come on Dhoni please make a win against Aussies. CHAKDEINDIA
BCCI team is never cannot be treated as a representative of Indian tri color.
Just because most of the sponsors hail from this sub-continentm, BCCI team is being respected or entertained if not, we would have been treated like any other KENYA, ZIM, SCOT etc.
We were being hyped just to make us to spin the money into the cricket world, as if BCCI is out of cricket 80% of the revenue will be cut.
We idiots never realise this and dances like monkeys to the tunes of others.
BCCI is never a developed team nor developing like INDIA. BANGLADESH, SRILANKA, KENYA they are the developing nations. Once they used to be treated as minnows, but now a days everybody is expecting a SURPRISE and its HAPPENING.
BCCI team never ever improved thier pshychological edge nor fielding nor bowling nor batting (except some personal contributions) for the past atleast 20 years.
So guys ignore this cricket like any other team and manage your businesses.
