U knw smthin..we treat all of 'em commentin on cricket seriously and smwhere down the lane the truth gets hidden. If you actually observe even before blaming the coach, its time to check tht we havent done tht well abroad. That's a reality and an early exit in WC, wuz in a way necessary to end the dirty politics involved wid those fuddy duddies making their way thru in BCCI.
Like a post match presentation where the entire podium is filled wid so many officials and politicians, cricket has got into wrong hands.
Since its all abt money..honey, Cricket's become the beehive!!!!
Its a simple formula from my side,
Keep it simple..
Coach, Captain and the team decide and make rules.
The selection of team shud be independant of the state they come frm or the influence they have. It shud be purely performance and nothing more than tht.
Let the Victory cm in wid the right ingredient of hardwork, love for the game and then reaping appreciations and wealth makes sense.
Our memory's poor. We tend to forget the past soon. The next win for India or even for the 20-20 WC in SA, will again resurrect these "heroes" frm grave!!
I like the strategy only when it yields results, till then we shud be mindin our own business and leave it to the team to sort it out.
WC '07 shud be a lesson learnt for the Indian Cricket....

Well.. my points would be coming at a point when India is basking in the glory of its victories in T20 and in Perth.
The Sad Story:
There are "n" number of ppl who harp on this "youth Vs experience" issue or the question of an "Indian Vs foreign coach".
Ok.. havent we had indian coaches in the past? What results have they given us abroad???? Probably, the only coach who gave us something worthwhile was John wright. Wasnt he successful?
The real logical problem why India fails abroad :
Wickets in the sub continent are not bouncy wickets. Most of them are flat with little or nothing for the bowler and a few of them are dusty allowing maximum advantage for spinners.
Countries like SouthAfrica, WestIndies , Australia have wickets that are green and have uneven bounce and also characteristic swinger tracks.
If India made such wickets , obviously teams would start getting out for 220- 230 each time and it will become more of a bowler's game. If this happens the spectators interest would be lost and hence the BCCI loses money here. Obviously , ppl would love to see a 350 run game being successfully chased down rather than watch a team struggle to chase down 150 odd runs.
So, in any case , no one is gonna prepare these kind of wickets here.
Obviously , because of this , our batsmen perform well here and struggle abroad. Even our bowlers are not upto the mark abroad.
This is the real reason why we fail, and lets not keep harping of the coaches issue or the Old vs exp issue.
