As it is rumoured that Mushrafe Murtaza who can bowl a mean bouncer and get the ball above knee high will not be playing for bangladesh and so chances of scoring few runs are there for thendi
There was a great Australian allrounder called Keith Miller who retired in 1956 saying that it is better to go out when you are on a high rather then being asked to go. This should apply to certain Indian players also! Except Gavaskar who went on a high note, everybody else was kicked out!

correct, indian cricket board shud take a stand and kick non-performers permanently rather than resting them
must interact reasons for poor performance with BCCI, steps taken or to be taken,we dont like plea of srinivasan and rajiv shukla that we shall beat them in India.
No doubt, current Indian team is a complete waste. Having said that, Gavaskar is not the right person to judge. He along with Shastri were critics of the BCCI. Now that they are employed by BCCI, they have become BCCI buffoons! Shame on them too!
1.That the most of the players were on a foreign junket with their families was a known fact.Board should put stop to the practice of foreign tours with families immediately. 2.Laxman played from 1996 to 1999 without any significant contribution.Sehwag played 50-60ODIs in 2003-2005 during Ganguly's tenure without any significant contribution.Even Tendulkar started making big scores after playing 2-3 yrs.Pl.check his scores between 1989-1992.The point I want to make is that if the Juniors are not given 2-3 yrs continuous oppurtunity,chances of any new player coming up is bleak. 3.Board should have separate teams for Tests,ODIs and 20-20s.The practice of selecting players on the basis of IPL must stop. 4.Also Board should have a clause in players'which will prevent current players from playing IPL .Otherwise ,considering the background of current crop of players everybody will be after the mullah. 5.The quota system must end.Why No Rajastahn players in the national team.Why more Cheannai IPL team players like Suresh raina in the team.

Absolutely! Indian cricket is not giving opportunities for younger players, they do not have constant rotation policy at all levels to keep the team balance intact while safeguarding physical fitness of older players, it ensures adequate opportunities for newer set of players.
BCCI must keep-off sponsors from having direct contracts with cricketers until they retire. These guys influence selection and selectors under pressure from making money taking players such as Tendulkar (Toshiba sponsorship) again and again though he has been a failure while younger players are neglected constantly.
India of this size and population to be able to produce 4 world beating sides at any given point could not find a team that can beat Sri Lanka to make it into Trination cup is a real disgrace.
Both departments bowling and batting are extremly vernalable. Dhaka's wicket will favour spinners maily. But mainly the wicket will help batsmen as the bounce will remain moderate and easy paced. But where is our great spinner? Is Aswin a spinner or slow fast wicket to wicket bowling spinner without any turn almost? Harbhajan was the spinner who could attack in both ways with spin and with flight of the ball. Raina, Jadeja etc all are considered as great spinners.But remember this not IPL matches but international one dayer. Pakistan and srilanka are most powerful team who is having good spinners and also good batsmen. In indian team dhoni and gambhir is expected to do well but all other are non starters.
