Not sure how much these foreigners take home from India. If the Pkis can have Paki trainers, bowling coach so can we. Lets manage things ourselves and restore our pride--these foreign coaches have not brought any advantages for us.
The ICC rule of keeping 5 players within 30 yards, is one of the best thing that happended to separate mediocre teams with part time bowlers rule the ODI in sub-continent like Srilanka & India.
Now the real test begins where part time and ordinary bowlers like Raina, Rohit and to some extent Yuvi will not be of any use, and its gr8 news for all those spinners whop toil hard to be genuine and effective bowlers.
So no world cup to India even in subcontinent now with mediocre bowling & part timers. Period.

As the new rule of keeping 5 players within circle came to effective from Jan 1, 2013. Hope you understand how the parft times were effective with 7 players saving boundries, and now its only 3.
Cheers, at least we have one world cup despite having mediocre bowling attack.
firstly, do not mix IPL with any other form of cricket....
IPL is just an entertainment, which has survived owing to the support of the fans.
Any good cricketer worth his salt will never ever blame one format of the game, for poor performance in the other...
These r professional players (atleast that's what they r made out to be) and hence they should be in a position to adapt to any situations.
I feel, the basic problem with India is lack of talent for this game.....
We may have some players who might have amassed some meaningless records, but when it comes to f1ght1ng as a team under difficult conditions we r nowhere, bcoz of the paucity of good players...
How confidently can you say if India can win against teams like Pak, Aus, SA, England or SL if played on neutral venues and with honest intentions ????
And I can say w/o a trace of doubt that India has never produced any good bowlers till date, nor will it produce any in the foreseeable future.....
Innings from Indian captain, no wonder how this below average player got more than 50 average..today(even last match) he tried fighting for his average not for winning(last match he was lucky)today what a innings he played with tail endears??..why he tried to stay there at end?(maiden over came 45th over)??not first time he has done many times same thing..

he is a quasi politician in the making, and will play when situation favors him and will be to his advantage....

It is called as "regulation batting" without any purpose and to show that I fought hard, without showing any intent & resolve.
His innings today was as purposeless as the current status of India cricket.
Try new faces....experiments....Rahaaney, Balaji and Harbajan can easily find a place. Adopy rotational policies. Make Ashwin to open the innings. No harm....It's an experiment.Dhoni and Ashwin alone are playing sensibly in the current series.
