there are plenty of green cricket academies in India and what better place than Bangalore NCA where some green top wickets can be prepared permanently. Let the fast bowlers go there a month before overseas tours and practice on them. Antything,if you decide to do you will find a way.
The biggest problem with the Indian players is that they have nothing to loose even if they loose all matches overseas. No money lost, No love lost (they will make up in the domestic series), No loss of place in the Indian Team). Once these issues are addressed India will start winning overseas. Don't tell me that we cannot produce team of 11 people out of billions who can win matches.
Indian team's weakness is indiscipline and non-commitment. Once the team achieves success, the team rises on the Eastern canopy, and behaves like free birds below the sun and moon. After that they don't play for country; they do for their personal gains! If the players realize that they would get monetary benefits only on winning for country, things may change. There shall be captain on match to match basis; not as lord of Indian cricket. He should enjoy no impunity; no royal position! Who is he after all? Like a common man; why should he behave like one above the ordinary citizen! He gets his riches from public contribution! similar is the case of every other player.
India's biggest weakness in the case of foreign tours are their captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and coach Duncan Fletcher. Their track records have been poor in foreign Test matches in England and Australia. No one in the right mind will continue with the captain and coach after two 4-0 white-washes.
India's biggest weakness is sticking up with their captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and their coach Duncan Fletcher. These are colossal technical liabilities on foreign tours.
Well said ! The determination in the team seems to be missing. It has gone from the days when Ganguly was the captain and could pay the Australians in the same coin. Kohili looks promising and it is very early to judge him from one match !
Make Fast Pitches in India, thats the only answer. Only Batting cannot win you matches. our bowlers dont how to bowl in fast pitches, once they get access to fast pitches in India then i am sure there will be era where India produce quality bowlers in likes of ambrose, walsh, wasim akram.
SHIKAR DHAWAN SHOULD NOT ONLY HAVE TO CLEAN UP HIS MUSTACHE, HE ALSO SHOULD START WEARING SAREES, BANGLES AND START HER CAREER AS A CHEER GIRLS IN IPL, THERE ALSO SHE WILL EARN A LOT OF MONEY RATHER THEN PLAYING CRICKET. SHAMEFUL INDIANS AND IT IS REALLY EMBARRASSING TO BE CALLED MYSELF AS AN INDIAN, AND BORN IN COUNTRY WERE THESE KIND OF PEOPLE ARE PLAYING FOR THEIR COUNTRY... SHAME !!!!!

apart from frustration,your comment clearly shows you are very immatured. Just for a small segment of sports you are branding Indians as shameful? Have you made any contribution worthwhile to India? Go and drown yourself.
