When the team management, the coach and the captain are unaware of what’s the right team combination and methodology of negotiating the transforming scenario then the team is bound to suffer a ruckus the way the Indians did yesterday.

Hey Buddy, great to read about your concern on the pathetic Indian performance of late. Yes, its worth agreeing to your view, that there is an urgent transformation requirements in Team India. The big names shouldn\’t be allowed to stick there just because of their past laurels(we need to be practical and its high time to stop lamenting on the past laurels) the selection needs to be more thought out and not just for the sake of completing the XI (like seen in the final test in South Africa), where I cite the defeat owing to poor team selection.
But there is a point where I would like to refute to your knowledgeable argument. Sacking Greg Chappell and demoting Dravid for the mere reason that he isn\’t favoured by a few in the dressing room, isn\’t justified at this juncture of Indian Cricket when the World Cup is just few months away. Yes, critics like you and me would expect least from this team at that stage but any fiddling with the hierarchy at this stage will spell further doom for the game in the country.

Bharat has given a good perspective on this on-going matter of kicking out this or that. Yet, I would like to comment on the fact that Greg should not have been the choice at first. There were enough Indian or South Asian Coaches available, or may be Greg was price-wise cheap!!(pacespinner, crickblog.com).
Yet, the time has passed and things said and done. One thing is sure, Indian cricket board needs to get rid of politics and let Indian cricketers prepare themselves for the upcoming world cup. They need to decide RIGHT NOW, who is going to open and the rest, even the bowling. I have prepared my own list of players and break down of batting and bowling line up in my blog (you can read my blog– look for pacespinner blog).
Ganguly should never have been left out. Again no reason to cry over what happend, but we need to replace Gabhir with Ganguly. By the way, what’s that about Ganguly’s absense in the third test against WI? Someone knows, let me know.. Thkzzz

TIME TO KICK OUT CHAPELL & DRAVID
Its time to kick out Chappel and get someone more experienced and level headed Indian Coach. Is it a coincedence that all the players with whom he has had the opportunity to work with for more than a year have forgotten to do what they were originally selected to do for the Indian Team. Take for Instance one by One
Rahul Dravid Once considered a wall and a technically sound batsman who could also keep wickets. He has forgotten to Bat, He has forgotten to field has dropped vital catches playing as captain for the Indian Team and he has been a miserable captain. Nobody in the Indian team wants to play under his captaincy, he mumbles in press conferences he makes a poor show as a person. Who is to Blame? Greg Chappel thought he would be a Good Captain afterall.
Sachin Tendulkar. Some people call him a blaster some call him Tendlya. But he has failed miserably with the bat.His statistics in South africa test series is 20. One days he has given a poorer account of himself. Well earlier he used to take some pretext of some elbow injury, Back spasm, Tennis elbow etc to avoid such critisism but now he can’t do it because we all know he has actively involved himself to fight for exclusion of Saurav from Team India. Sachin’s situation is Just like Pakeya in The Film Rangeela. why…. ! He is Pakaoing the Indian fans and spectators with no shows, and more importantly you must remember Pakeyas dialogue in Rangeela, where he tells Raja (Aamir) about how he was treated when he proposed to a girl, he says that the girl slapped him with her chappals and then Raja Says ” Agar eisahi chalta Raha Na to bahut Jaldi Ladies Chappal Ka Dukan Kholna Pardenga ” Sachins state is something like this he is continiously trying to propose to the girl which is Indian Cricket and every time spectatators gets no shows. It is a matter of time that spectators will go with Ladies chappals to the stadiums and will help tendlya realize his ultimate nightmare, if he does not tighten his shoe laces. Pimping his cause is Gavaskar but such pimping will stand him no chance in the eyes of Indian Spectators. Now who is to Blame for all this definitely Greag Chappel.
Shewag used to get into the team because of his explosive Batting but now he is accomodated in the team because he can bowl off spin. Thanks Greag you have made a bowler out of an explosive batsman.
Irfan Pathan was a brilliant bowler, however Greg with his Coaching skills has converted him to a Batsman. Now he has forgotten how to Bowl. Brilliant WOW what Coaching! He was one player who stood by the Coach in his kinky plans called experimentation as a player, NOW WHILE SUPPORTING HE FORGOT HIS BASIC SKILLS, here greg was not man enough to support him he was send back in the middle of a series. Wow Greg you must be a good Coach a Man after all.
BEFORE TAKING ACTION AGAINST TENDULKAR, DRAVID SHEWAG AND PATHAN WHICH IS NECESSARY. KICK OUT GREG AND THEN ASK DRAVID TO STEP DOWN AND THEN CHOOSE THE TEAM ON MERIT AND MERIT ALONE.
