Will be rotated to give youngster the experience. However during world cup we will see the senior players playing along side the best of youngsters.

No, I dont think so because India still need a genuine fast bowler wo can bowls 93 or 95 miles/hour because now cricket trend has changed. Time has gone when Pollock, Vaas and Streak were known as FAST bowlers.Now they are MEDIUM PACERS. With the cricket appearence of Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee, Mohammad Sami, Shame Bond, Steve Harmmison, Makhaya Ntini and Dilhara Fernando, a new fast bowling trend has emerged on cricket scene. Idia need that potential in bowling.\nAnother reason is that all recent victories India get by chasing. This shows that Indian bowling still dont have depth to contain the other team. Inia has performed well within subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Srilanka and Bangladesh) outside subcontinent its performance is not that impressive. West Indies always has bouncey wicket which helps bowlers, so india need to biuld up their bowling attack.

Yes they are playing to little tests, but the reason for that is that the BCCI (Board for Control for Cricket in India) know that one day games generate a lot more money.  So to boost their income, they will rather play more ODI's.

As an Indian the answer is yes.\nBut in reality it will not be very easy to reach in Final. \nIf we see the recent performance of indian criketers, we will find the top order batsman failed to perform in several times.\nSo to win every match every player of indian side will need to improve and will need to give their 100%.\nHope they will give and will appear in final with Australia and will never do the same wrong thing as did in last final. Best of luck Indian Team.

agree. it is more useful to take these type of young talents in the team rather than that of kaif, mongia,sehwag etc. who failed to perform consistantly

This is the most upseting thing about India's Cricket team...their fans and the people who support them. Sachin, along with the rest of the sqaud are playing good cricket but the reason they aren't winning is because of the rise of international superstars. The Indian Cricket team needs to look at young talent more often then relying hevaily on three or four big name players. In a magazine I read while in Bombay (India Today) I read an article about a bowler named VJ Sharma who was considered a very good prospect to the team at the age of 19. Now, he is 21 and playing for (I belive its England). He is one of those few talents who packed their bags and decided to play for someone else who reconzied their talents.\n\nAnother thing that ticks me off is the politicains who suggested that the players be paid less if they do not perform as well. I laughed so hard when they said that, I mean c'mon their Indian politicans who get paid and make tons of illicit money and fall asleep in Senate meetings who are suggesting the players get paid less if they loose a game or two.\n\nBasically, its not the teams fault and it is not the coach's fault either, its the recruting...I bet you their are players out their who are very good but do not get a chance to play due to the fact that some current players have connection with politicians and team sponseres (sorry for the speeling error)\n\nITS TIME WE START LOOKING AT OUR OWN INDIAN TALENT AND ALLWING YOUND PLAYERS TO TAKE OVER THE ROLE AS BATSMAN OR BOWLERS, ETC.\n\n\nTo answer your queston I belive he is not a disruvtive image to the indian team...

The Dhoni era is definitely not coming to a close. All players go through temporary losses of form, even the best ones. He's still relatively new to international cricket, and I'm sure he'll get even better as he gets more experienced in playing different teams in different conditions. His style in unorthodox (like Afridi and Pietersen) but he is clearly a very talented player.

Yes it will.\n\nBut need to do more for win by INDIA.\n\nWhat?\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITY HAS TO GO ALONG WITH ACCOUTABILITY.\n\nHOW?\n\nDRAVID be removed from CAPTAINCY and ODI-Why?\n\nThe worst captain- \ncould not control SA from 6 wicket down for 76; finally SA made 275. \nAny 18yrs child can do better job.\n\nHe made 63 in 103 balls and it is equvalent of 184 in 50 overs. This means he played for his retaintion in the team but not for win of INDIA. \nHE SCORED +50 for 63 but SCORED (NEGETIVE) -100 for playing TEST Match in ODI. \n\nThe net score of dravid is (negative)-50. This means he can play TEST but he shall be removed from ODI side of INDIA.\n\nShri DHONI be made CAPTAIN- Why?\n\n\nHe scored 55 in 48 balls, this is equivalent to 344 runs in 50 overs. Therefore he played for win of INDIA. HE GOT 50 FOR SCORING 55, and 100 FOR PLAYING FOR WIN OF INDIA and not mere for his retaintion in the team.\n\nTHEREFORE DHONI WITH 150 MARKS OUT OF 100 WILL THE CAPTAIN IN THE NEXT ODI\n\nShri DRAVID WITH (-)50 SCORE SHALL BE DROPPED FROM ODI AND RESERVED FOR TEST ONLY.\n\n\nThis is one example.\n\nWhat others?\n\npay proportion to performance\n\nif team win alright, if not remove 2 bat'mn, 2 blrs, 1 all rounder, keeper (if did badly).\n\nif could not win series;\nremove captain, coach, selectors, BCCI, \nMake a fresh selection of the team.\n\nIT WILL CERTAINLY WORK.

SEHWAG POOR FORMS CONTINUES DAY AFTER DAY.\n\nKAIF PROVES HIS IN-CONSISTENCY MATCH BY MATCH.\n\nBUT WE COULDN'T FIND THE IDEAL REPLACEMENT PLAYERS NOW.\nLUCKILY,FOR THEM WC'07 NEARING..SO THE SENIOR PLAYERS GIVEN MORE THAN ENOUGH CHANCES.\n\nBUT IT WILL COME TO AN END.\n\nTHE RECENT LOSE WILL URGE THE SELECTORS TO THINK.
521644
IT HAS MORE ALL-ROUNDERS.\nIT HAS MANY PLAYERS WHO ARE THINKING TO SERVE THE NATION.\nMORE AND MORE NEW COMERS KNOCKING THE DOOR TO REPLACE A POSSIBLE ONE.\nSO THE EXISTING PLAYER HAVE TO WORK HARD TO SURVIVE IN TEAM.\n\nNOT(LIKE US)DEPENDING SOME PLAYERS.

I'm not too sure what Cricket you've been watching over the past few years. Granted they've struggled on the sub-continent, but a 1-1 draw with India isn't a bad result is it? India wouldn't repeat this in England, they don't have a pace attack to speak of. England's team have been outplayed in the one-dayers, but it hasn't exactly been their first team.\n\nI predict that they will go unbeaten in tests this summer before retaining the ashes against a weakening Australian side in the winter, becoming the number 1 test side in the World in the process. Anyone remember last summer?

i think new young talent is not the problem..of'course u wont want to hv many 30+ players in the team...prob. arises of the fact that what position these young players hv in d team...and 'coz of the fact that our team is doin' just about PERFECT in the ODI's it would be fair to say that dravid and chappell are doin a gr8 job..\n\nchappell promised of producin or rather developing all-rounders in our team last year....and u hv the results of his work in the form of irfan pathan and Dhoni'....batting positions are so very flexible in the team now and u can easily find players fittin into diff. postns. as the match demands...and until we keep on playin the same way as we r rite now i dun think thr shud be any need to question them..\n\nbut i BET to say these positive experiments would NEVER hv taken place if v had ganguly as d skipper...he hated experimenting and u wud nvr hv imagined 'Pathan' as an all rounder during his times...

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

no it is just that the indian team in cricket is better than any other indian team in another sport \nif india had to enter the world cup of football and win it then may be football can overshadow cricket in india\njust as tennis is being popular because SANIA MIRZA is the only indian woman to have seeded higher

It's good to see Sehwag and Kaif performing. Other batsmen have spent a lot of time on Indian pitches, and Sehwag and Kaif have not. I guess they are adapting faster then the others. There isn't a problem in the team. The games were all close. Middle order batting needs some finetuning. The rest is fine.

This achievement is a result of the joint effort by all of above, all really wants to keep their role best in this.\nVengsarkar being new in this team deserves less ( eventhough inclusion of Jaffer, a big blunder)- \n\nWhat this Chappal & Dravid handle with our team, nobody understand.Their selection of final XI batting / bowling changes in each matches, nobody can digest.\n\nLet us look about the recent stories.\nAfter the continous failure of batsmen they never tried to shruffle the batting order according to their ability. They says to have done experiment with Pathan at no.3, that is not much a hilarious idea. Many punch hitters have been sent to these positions and been succesful for all teams. Even Chetan Sharma scored a century at no.3. So sending as Pathan as a punch hitter according to circumstances we can admit, but how we can consider him as a top order batsman..?\nThey never tried Dhoni at no.2 or 3, who can stay around and also go for big hits after being settled. Insted of Pathan they could have tested Dhoni Yuvraj or even Raina as one more chance. Since middle order batting collapsed worstly, Dravid had to get down upto no.5 or 6 followed by Sehwag.\n\nIn DLF cup Sreesanth was called back & he bowled well against WIndies & the next match he has been dropped.\nAgain in SA, Pathan & Sreesanth was included in the 1st match.After the match has been abandoned without a ball being bowled for the second match surprisingly both were omitted. At least 3-4 continous chance should be given for a player to evaluate his performance.\n\nWhat way these guys are thinking, nobody knows. Then Y this consideration is not giving to substitute batsman for long time in place of Raina or Kaif.\n\nOn recent performance of Indian team, a rotation base experiment of players, ( as Australia did before & hence became the best) since we have numerous young talents as well as experienced ones.\n\nThe present Indian team is not bad, but the utilization of it is important. When they R replacing Sehwag it should be DKarthick who was succesful in one day games than Jaffer at domestic matches, and also a better competitor.\n\nBowling we have all are almost at same range, but in SA type of wickets it is better if they go for Saheer,Munaf, Sreesanth,Pathan & Kumble ahead of Agarkar & Harbajan.\n\nHowever let us hope for the best in coming days...
