you are correct! captaincy should be changed!\n\nonly 3 players an be retained : Dhoni,Kumble, and Zaheer Khan\nplayer who can be considered :Tendulkar, harbhanjan and Dravid\n\nrest :Shewag ,Kaif ,pathan,Mongia,Kharthik,Jaffer,Agarkar,Raina\nshould be dropped forever!!\n\nthey had lot of chances or they are not suitable for one days!!\n\nYuvraj and gaugu ly can come back for their experience!\n\nShould introduce fresh batsman fast bowler and spinner!\n\nIf even after that we fail , we  know that we move upwards otherwise India wont improve

ALL TIME XI\n1.B. Richards(SA) (9 hundreds before lunch - best opener)\n2. S. Gavaskar(IND) (perfect technique, 10K runs as opener!)\n3. D. Bradman(AUS) (99.96 - best batsman of all time)\n4. J. Hobbs(ENG) (toss up with K. Miller, but 61K career runs, cant be wrong!)\n5. G. Sobers(WI) (awesome all rounder)\n6. A. Border(c) (AUS)(toss up with V.Richards, but border is mora aggr. capt.)\n7. A. Gilchrist + (AUS)(there was a couple of others, but his batting gets it)\n8. S. Warne (AUS)(no dispute - best spinner of all time)\n9. D. Lillee (AUS)(Awesome new ball bowler with swing and control)\n10. M. Marshall (WI)(toss up with M.Holding, but I saw more of Marshall)\n11. J. Garner (WI)(My other opening bowler, devestating to face)\n(12.G. McGrath) (AUS)(prob best of modern era, just missed out)\nFor those who think there is an Aussie bias, have a look at the overall win loss of Australia throughout the history of cricket. There is a bias, but it is because in the 130 odd years of Test cricket, there are the most successful team so far.

With the conditions that you have mentioned, no. Gavaskar would be next best with 17% (6 losses in 34 hundreds).\n\nIf you relax the rules a bit, Vinoo Mankad (who played 44 Tests) had 5 hundreds and three losses (60%)

I agree with you. If at all he is worlds best batsman, he need to adapt to team's requirement. If he comes two down , ideally after 20 th over and can stay till end to stabilise the innings.

Very economical. he may not be consistent but does either get wickets or bowls economically. Definitely deserves and earns his place on the team till next world cup. If he can be destructive in west indes, it would be great

India have not lost last 8 consecutive ODI matches. India have won last 15 consecutive matches batting second & have broken the record of West Indies of 1985.\nYuvraj , Dhoni , Irfan , Raina are looking solid & I think India can win 2007 world cup against world champions South Africans. Though South Africa have good players India have world class players.

While the idea is not too bad, unfortunately there are not that much countries cpable of competing in international level.  ICC are trying to develop cricket in the Associated Member countries.  In the coming world cup only 16 teams will be playing.  If ICC mnage to develop the gme in another 8 coun tries by 2011, your suggestion may materialise, who knows?

You don't want to blame the players for their performances and you want Greg Chappell to continue as the coach. Then, between the two, who should be blamed for India's recent poor performances? Not Sourav Ganguly, I hope.\nExperimentation is OK when you have 22 players who are close to each other in their performing abilities. India can just about manage 6 to 7 at the most, who are certain and consistent performers. So what's the logic behind Chappell's chop and change? Why should consistent performers in a particular slot make way for others, when the replacement's performance is unsure? With World Cup, 2007 round the corner, isn't it time we had a set team in place, raring to go? \nAnd whatever happened to motivation? Both coach and skipper seem to compete with each other to lift the trophy for the most uninspiring leader. And on top of that, contrary to the much touted belief that Chappell has a shrewd cricketing sense, he is in reality a shrewd politician who has optimally utilised BCCI politics and infighting to his advantage. He knows that he can continue as long as he stays on the right side of the powers that be. That and not performance is the topmost concern of the self serving Chappell. \nAnd it has come to light that a lot of players, specially youngsters and new comers are scared stiff of Chappell. They can't speak their mind freely for fear of retribution (being axed at the behest of Chappell). Chappell's flair for vengeance has already been well established. So much for confidence building. \nTeam India (rechristened Team Chappell) continues to demand flat, dead tracks as a precondition for good performances and a victory. On a green and bouncy top, their performance is pitiable. And offered a wicket of their choice at Mohali in the just concluded Champions Trophy, they dished out a pathetic performance and lost to Australia. So what essential difference has Chappell brought about, which did not exist in the era of John Wright? Why should BCCI fork out an extraordinary amount of money to a non performing coach? Just to keep him in good humour? Or for some flashy, headline grabbing sideshows like training with Indian Army personnel? Even our Jawans must be ashamed at their association with a training programme, which brought about such dismal performances from the team.\nYet you contend that Chappel should stay on. A pricey coach must deliver or be shown the door. Yes, Chappell should stay, only till the date when his contract with BCCI ends.\nI'm sorry, being unable to furnish a single point in favour of Chappell, even for the benefit of a self confessed cricket lover as yourself.

...itz almost near, but you see\n\n3 specialist all rounders (excluding Ganguly)\n7 specialist batsmen (including Dhoni)\n6 specialist bowlers\n\nSo we have 9 specialists + 3 optional bowlers in your side and \n7 specialist + 3 optional (all rounders) are there...So why can't you drop 1 or 2 from the bowler's list and prefer batsman..?\nSince JPYadav has got chance earlier, I prefer jogindersingh among the all rounders...\n\nSo my  decision will be including Laxman (if Raina is not clicking again) & Dinesh Karthick - \ninstead of JPYadav & AAgarkar.\n\nIf you still need one bowler, either YMahesh or VRV Singh can be brought alongwith Laxman.
