After a long time, rediff carried an article which was by an able analyst written in a bold,objective manner! Being a good batsman does not automatically ensure captaining abilities which involve tact,diplomacy, gentle but firm nudging ability and, above all, a cool head on shoulders which Virat will take some time to acquire. By the way, where are the media pundits who predicted a total whitewash against England? Eating crow for breakfast,lunch and dinner with their feet? Let the media show some maturity and not go overboard with their juvenile views on everything from national security to cricket, the game of glorious uncertainties- it proved to be of inglorious certainties,alas, in the recently concluded series!!!
Poor Tendulkar also doesnt have a Test series coming up in the near future to announce his retirement. Poor Guy will have to announce the retirement during the pakistan series if he is selelcted in the one day team. I would want sachin to play on...but can sachin hold on!!!
BCCI has done nothing to identify young talent & nurture them due to lack of farsightedness. If India keeps getting thrashed like this, BCCI won’t find any sponsor, the richest board shall become poorest. They should engage 75 -100 ex Ranji players to identify talent country wide & BCCI should arrange coaching camps. Ex Ranji players to be rewarded handsomely in case of talents identified make it to state/national level to avoid nepotism by Ex Ranji players

no selfish player will voluntarily announce his retirement- it is not understandable why BCCI does not say goodbye to Sachin. Long live Sachin.

Who cares???Why NOT Ban Boring&Poiverty-produncg TEST Cricket Now??? Our country has become poorer after wasting millions of work hours for the past month watching useless Tests! what a shmae that anna hazare and patriots have NOT made national agitation to Ban Cricket and Tests Cricket at least Now!
It is now high time to depend on seniors older hands. Instead we should give chance to youngsters so that they will also get time to show their talent. Any how we are loosing matches whoever plays. So we should now give chance to new comers and give time to establish themselves.
They need to play the domestic cricket to full fill there fitness and selections. every player even capitain also becuase if i am the leader i should perfect so that i can guide my team mates to become a perfect team............ dhoni is not a good leader because he works for his own things only not think about pride and respect of nations which has the second largest poplution in thei world and generate more than 10 billion dollars for the cricket................. Please axe this team and ask them to prove there fitness and running and allround skills in all the formats..
