We should have tried Vijay to open the innings. He is capable of scoring at 4 -5 an over and also has the tendency to stay at the wicket. Rohit (he is a non-performer at any level; scores one 50 and for next 10/15 games 0s, and therefore, very inconsistent) can be rested. Kohli must be told to shoulder the responsibility (batting) for which he is in the team... no consistency in his batting as well and this people have been experiencing ever since the Aus tour/WC... Just because of his inconsistency, along with inconsistency of Rohit, we lost the WC match. If they cannot improve, let them play street cricket first, then Ranji and other domestic cricket and learn how to play first. So far as Jadeja is concerned, he is not to be considered an all-rounder. On helping wickets, though he contains the batsmen, hardly gets wickets...so, he can also be rested. The bowlers must be told to stick to basics else let them learn and concentrate on batting so that at least some runs can be put on the board. While batting, the players from number one to eleven must have a target of scoring at least 35-40 runs a piece with one or two of them staying at the wicket and building a long innings... unless the team has some plan like this, we are not going to achieve anything consistently ... from the present scenario, we feel that the entire management is and in fact has been in disarray with no accountability at all.
GREAT PREDICAMENT. MSD - YOU ARE APPOINTED AS CAPTAIN ONLY TO HANDLE ISSUES LIKE THIS NOT FOR MAKING SPONSORSHIP REVENUES AND BLAME ALL PLAYERS BY TURN!!!!
