Sehwag has always been carefree but in the just whitewashed test series against Australia he was at his career best in displaying not just a care free attitude but sheer unalloyed carelessness. Atleast on a couple of occasions he was clearly annoyed and displeased about the Australian fielders dropping catches off his bat.

It is disaster of monstrous proportions in waiting if he were to be made the regular test captain.

@Need Reforms and Policies to make it better

Young vs Senior Players
---------
Some are saying or putting harsh comments against Senior players etc

here are the facts
---
i)what about the reflexes of Indian Bowlers ,how good they bowled
why did AUST MAKE huge scores at SCG and Adelaide tests

ii)are not Ishant Sharma ,Umesh Yadav ,Ashiwn etc not YOUNGER PLAYERS

let us say we did get rid of senior Batsmen according to the weird logic

will the new replacenment YOUNGER BATSMEN defend 650 plus TOTALs made by the opponents at both SCG Sydney and Adelaide tests ?


Highly doubtable
---
That is why I posted comments before how to rectify correctly the Indian Cricket

Make Ranji ---> India A --->India team

there is huge talent in India both raw .young and semior players

it has to be moulded and we need a holistic approach to do that

i)Green Tops

ii)Better Integration of Sports Injury Inst at New delhi with Indias bowling unit like Diet,and fitness regimes etc

iii)Make BCCI fund INDIA A team
let YOUNGER players who perform well in IPL and Ranji get a place in this TEAM

IV)Schedule INDIA A team to tour OVERSEAS and get assimilated to those CONDITIONS etc

Srikanth regional feelings killed the spirit of indian team
by kumar on Jan 27, 2012 04:10 AM  | Hide replies

Srikanth regional feelings killed the spirit of whole team. Instead of taking blame, he is shifting the blame on Dhoni. He selected following players in last 4 years.

Vijay Murali - Average is 30 in tests and 15 in ODIs
Abhinav Mukund - Average is 20
Badri - Average is 20 in tests and 15 in ODIs
Dinesh Karthik - Played 23 tests and 52 ODIS. Average is 25 only. Scored only one century

Ashwin - Took only 4 wickets in 2 test matches against Australia eventhough Australians are vulnerable to Spin
Balaji - Forget about him. played 30 ODIs and 10 test matches

Nearly half the tamil nadu team. if one fails, he gave chance to other tamil.

He killed the spirit of whole team with his idiotic approach and non sense reasons. He needs to take the responsibility and need to step down. If Ashwin fails, Srikanth is planning to give opportunity to his Son Anirudh in the name of all rounder

The psychological factor is underestimated
by Nikhil Shah on Jan 27, 2012 03:21 AM  | Hide replies

When a players reaches the highest level of skills to play for the country, all the hard work and training translate to the physical aspect of being a international class player.

In modern day sports, not only the skills and talent is required but one needs to consider the mental aspects of sports. In addition, fitness and sport nutrition are also usually ignored.

Overall psychological impact is usually highly underestimated and players try
to concentrate on skill alone. Beating a team mentally is still fair play on the
part of the Aussies so there are no excuses.

The solution is serious counseling, imagery, breathing exercises and Yoga.

The two main areas in sports psychology are,
individual mental toughness and team dynamics.

In individual mental toughness, the players have to have to
have personality traits to be able to perform mentally, these are


1. Form and overcoming slump
2. Temperament and Composure
3. Fiesti-ness, Determination, Will power and Motivation
4. Positive thinking, Self confidence and Self belief
5. Focus, Discipline and assertiveness
6. Patience, responsibility and self Restraint and staying power
7. High Morale, Intensity levels and Passion
8. Anger Control, Emotion and Anxiety
9. Over-training, injury anxiety and burnout
10. Resilience and ability to overcome Adversity
11. Setting Personal goals
12. Drive and hunger to succeed.
13. Consistency and persistence
14. Aggressiveness and boldness

My Future indian team
by kumar on Jan 27, 2012 02:13 AM  | Hide replies

I believe it is better to change selection committee first so that new selection committee can come with fresh ideas. My future indian team is

1) Rahane
2) M pandey
3) Dravid
4) Tendulkar
5) Kohli
6) Rohit Sharma
7) Dhoni (Captain)
8) Ohja
9) Z Khan
10) Ishant Sharma
11) U Yadav

Bench:
12) Saha
13) A Rayudu
14) Pujara or Abhishek Nair
15) Harbhajan singh
16) Aaron

I believe it is better to continue with Dhoni as captain. No need to blame Dhoni for the mistakes of Srikanth. Srikanth ended up giving chances only to Tamil Nadu players instead of developing good backup players.

Harbhajan can be given some chances and see if he can be effective.

I thought Ishanth Sharma took 404 wickets for 4 runs in the series so far........were you sleeping? :p :p That's why our dear Kumar has him in his 'Dream' team (For the reality, just interchange the runs and wickets in the statement above)

That should be enough to motivate him. Hopefully he has made enough money to sustain him for the rest of his life. Post-retirement prospect for making money is not very good.

by India Shining on Jan 27, 2012 12:22 AM

DhongiHas been the main reason forIndia'sFailure in this series. His passive lackadaisical approach toCaptaincy and hisComment on retiring from tests by 2013 are the reasons the team isDemotivated. AllNorthies can see onlySrikanth atFault while theirNorthieGod MrDhongi is absolutely not atFault. Bravo!!

why do all these so called "experts" say things after the event has happened....why didn't they make these observations couple of months ago when sehwag made 219...or when dravid was the highest run scorer in 2011 in tests - just a month ago.....suddenly things are happening in one month strange isn't it...i wud really appreciate if any of these so called experts had given comments of retire ment of laxman/dravid before the test series.....its easy to make expert comments after something has happened

Good point.
Forget the retirement of seniors. Even non performers people like Gambhir, Sehwag, Dhoni also should be rotated.New talent should be gradually blooded in instead of making hew and cry about retiring the seniors at one go.
