The batting has gone from bad to worse, the fielding standards have dropped and the players seem too preoccupied in thinking which brand of beverage they should endorse next. Stop relying on reputation and pick players on form. I don't know what people like sehwag and agarkar need to do to get themselves dropped. Its also quite obvious that O-SO-great master blaster is past his use-by date. bring in young blood, players keen to perform, players who will go that extra inch to make it....thats what we need. dravid apart, it looks like everyone else has taken their place for granted. Lets hope we can bounce back...for the first time in my life, I'm not so sure. Looks frighteningly similar to the decline of the hockey team from the 70s or the windies from the late 80s, although one might argue, were we really that great?? As a true indian cricket fan would answer, "On paper...yes".Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14144810745520715567noreply@blogger.com
