Rankings are a clear indication
by valaparla swarup on Jan 17, 2013 06:30 AM

One would like to see on the top performance of its batters and bowlers is clear indicator reflected in the ranking which one should say below average.Emotions dont take us any where.We should be clear where we stand with no batsmen who can wallop the opposition and no bowler who can run through the opposition we can not hope to win matches against top rated teams.There nothing to be ashamed of .No 1 is not every thing .Playing well which is paramount for a reasonable contest.
We dont require stars but players who have never say die attitude.We do not require players who break records but carrying the battle to the opposition camp.nurturing young talent requires patience -give them enough room for failures they will repay.For a while media should also forget hyping the rankings.
Be realistic and avoid speculations.If we play well wins and ranking will be taken care of.

Are we surprised?
by Arv Singh on Jan 17, 2013 06:27 AM

BCCI needs to fire the coach Fletcher before bringing any new players. Change in leadership is more important than recycling players. India needs to bring back four Assistant Coaches:

Batting Coach: Rahul Dravid/VVS Laxman
Fast Bowling Coach: Venkatesh Prasad/Srinath
Spin Bowling Coach: Anil Kumble/Maninder Singh
Fielding Coach: Robin Singh

I would create three teams with three captains and three coaches - Test, ODI and T20 Teams.

ODI Team: Mohinder Amarnath (coach)
1. Shikhar Dhawan
2. Ajinkya Rahane
3. Cheteshwar Pujara
4. Yuvraj Singh
5. Virat Kohli
6. Suresh Raina
7. MS Dhoni (Captain)
8. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
9. Shami Ahmed
10.Harbhajan Singh
11.Umesh Yadav

T20 Team: Kapildev (Coach)
1. Unmukt Chand
2. Ajinkya Rahane
3. Virat Kohli
4. Yuvraj Singh (Captain)
5. Ms Dhoni
6. Suresh Raina
7. Ravindra Jadeja
8. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
9. Shami Ahmed
10.Harbhajan Singh
11.Parvinder Awana

Test Team: Sunil Gavaskar (Coach)
1. Jiwanjot Chauhan
2. Murali Vijay
3. Cheteshwar Pujara
4. Sachin Tendulkar
5. Virat Kohli (Captain)
6. Uday Kaul or Naman Ojha (WK)
7. Aparajith
8. Bhuvneshwar Kumar
9 Sandeep Sharma
10.Siddharth Kaul
11.Harmeet Singh

Today, there is only one article on Cricket. Why so ? There should be at least three or more so that we can exchange our views ? What do you feel ?

Rohit Sharma first class average is above 60. He deserves test debut but seletors are rushing him into ODI despite his ordinary List A average.

Dont know about tests, but at this moment he is good only for T20. Needless to say, he is a disaster in ODI.

India Tour of S.Africa!!
by Santhanam on Jan 16, 2013 01:40 PM  | Hide replies

When India tour S.Africa this Year end, Stautory Warning shud be mentioned in all Media Channesls, Papers,etc to Switch Off the Television. Steyn, Morkel, Philander, etc would Rip/Tear apart the Indian Team. Prediction. 0-4 Loss for India with all by Innings Margin Defeat and atleast 2 times India would be Bowled out for less than 40 runs. Wot a Series for S.Africa!!!! The Lions(S.Africa) would be eagerly awaiting another Lamb in the form of India!!!!!
