Only way to improve bowing dept is to remove sreesanth,Nehra, R P Singh,Irfan pathan permanently from india selection and start grooming new set of fast bowlers like Ishant sharma, Praveen kumar, Munaf patel, Vinay kumar,Varun Aaron, S Aravind, train them at fast bowling pitches in england, south africa.

Even Munaf is a waste..may be he can replace harbhajan as a spin bowler,coz he may be bowling at the same pace as anil kumble wud used to bowl

Not only Yuvraj and Raina!It is right time for VVS Laxman, Zaheer, Gambhir and the GOD (TendulKar) should also been shown the exit and young players should be groomed in their place.

Who are the youngsters that can be groomed ? Wasn't raina one of them ? Isn't Kohli one of them ? Isn't mukund one of them ?
Who else ? Wait let me guess -- yusuf pathan ?
What do you mean by grooming ? Why do you think Raina is in the team ? Do you even know what " grooming " means ? I bet that's a fancy word you picked up from the forums.

Also how come you have mentioned only the batsmen and not the bowlers ? How many wickets did they get ?
You are the typical retard who sits in front of the computer and does what one normally do in restrooms

how nicely u get in the old guys vinay and arvind. check their age first.
Without voluntarily retiring from cricket Sachin/Dravid/Gavaskar/Kapil/Ravi Shastri have denied/deprived opportunities to many young and talented BC/SC/ST/Minority cricket players.

For once, you echoed my voice. Pl continue to be positive in your comments. Region, language and culture alone do not define talent in India.
Don't fight, we all are Indians. We need players like Irfan Pathan, Iqbal Abdullaha, Varun Aroon, Umesh yadev, Tiwary, Maneria, Pujara , bhat etc etc Plus Dravid to sheperd the youngsters. Kabbadi politican can arrange a series against westindies to achieve the milestone for pigmy sachin then for heaven sake hang ur boots. VVS must retire after Australian series.
I hope the BCCI has learnt frm their repeated mistakes. As its said the pace bowlers r 2 b wrapped in cotton we on the other hand play every new pace sensation we get in almost every match round the clock.
The result is 4 all of us to see - We have lost their original steam and pace. how many 2 name. Zaheer, Irfan, Sreesanth, Ishant, RP Singh, Nehra.
Now its the turn of Varun Aaron.
Recently Wasim Akram pointed Varun and Shami Ahmed in the domestic cricket who bowls over 140 plus. now we need to induct them into the national side asap.. and please don't send them Down Under.
Also what happened with Abid Nabi the young pacer from J&K... No news of him as during the Chappel era he was tipped to play 4 India..

Its not height that matters ,but talent . How tall was Malcolm Marshall ? Aaron cannot be compared to Malco now , but I mentioned him as an example of talent overcoming other "short"comings ( pardon the pun ) You cannot take IPL as a criterion for ability in Tests or even ODIs . Give the kid a chance to show his ability when the time comes instead of criticizing him at the beginning of his career .
Another day , another column and yet another regional fight among the readers . Wonder where all the Indian spirit disappears to when regionalism comes into the picture . And then we wonder why India doesn't progress fast enough ! How can we when we are more busy pulling down people from other parts of our own country . With regard to Aaron , I feel he is a good find , but needs to be nurtured more . Let him play more first class matches ( at least one more season , let him play a few more India A matches and then give him a place in the senior squad for one or two overseas tours before he makes his debut in Tests . Most of all , keep him away from ODIs till he finds his feet in Tests . We don't want him cluttering his mind up with concepts like containment and economy now . Let him use his natural talent for pace first .
