Every Indian team wanted to Win on Foreign soil. But very few succeeded. Yes, Indian team can win a few Series here and there (Like Zimbabwe, Kenya, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh).
But if we have to Beat Australia, England, South Africa, Pakistan & New Zealand on their Home conditions in a Test series on their Home soil, we need to have Extraordinary Young Cricketers who have Very Good Reflexes, Hand eye co-ordination, Fitness and form, with Great Techniques and Footwork and they should perform collectively over a period of time which is never easy.
We Indians usually Fail to adapt to Foreign conditions and our Fast bowlers break down, our Batsmen do not play well, our spinners don't take wickets, Fielding will also be pathetic.
So I am not Expecting any Miracles from this Indian team overnight. Let us hope they atleast maintain Home Records and save India's image at home.
Who is going to benifit from Kumbles appointment ? It is same story of earning finally from pockets of COMMON PEOPLE .i am not challenging his talents he is genius ,but main his aim is to sell knowledge ,experience who made him big ... and that is objectionable . if it is not objectionable then what is cost of sacrifice made of our jawans , freedom fighters, social workers like mother Teresa , baba amte I think we should file and RIT so that we will know who has earned how much from BCCI in last few years
One more thing where all recruitments are through national level exams ,all contracts are through TENDERS THEN WHY NOT SUCH APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE BY TENDERS ... IF GIVEN A CHANCE I WILL WORK DAY AND NIGHT FREE OF COST FOR SAKE OF MY NATION ..
But what happens is we Doctor pitches in all games in the country - how will players get exposure to all surfaces . How frequently we won in Australia , England and South Africa .
