WHY ????

[express bowling]

Why was / were / is / are  ....

 

...   An injured Ishant brought back before he had recovered fully  ?  This might jeopardise his career.

 

...  Young cricketers, who have the potential to be all condition players, not groomed in home tests.

 

...  Older players automatically preferred over younger players irrespective of their current ability and form.  Young players get to play only when a similar type of older player is injured. Current ability and form are not the selection criteria.

 

...   Umesh, averaging 42 with the ball in overseas tests, preferred over Saini in the 2nd test ?

 

...   Gill not picked for tests in NZ  (  although he had played a fighting knock of 83 in tough seaming and swinging conditions in NZ  )  ?  Form, in the given conditions, should be a supreme criterion.. 

 

...   The keeper who will eventually play in NZ (  Pant ) not allowed to hone his game in home tests ?

 

...  Young fast bowlers, like Saini and Siraj, not groomed in tests against weaker teams like Bangladesh, WI, Afghanistan  ?  Many of us had repeatedly pointed this out at those times,  If we had done so then we could have had a ready replacement for the injured Ishant.

 

...  Rahane being persisted with despite very few impactful performances in the last 3.5 years.

Serious intent is missing. Zero Accountability. Kohli escaped the 4-1 drubbing against England and World Cup failure.. this is like nothing in comparison.

Lack of accountability has been the biggest issue in Indian cricket starting late 2011.

Post the Kirsten era, people who have any say in the TM don't seem to have a clear thought process or tactical acumen or forward thinking.

 

Only exception was the 10 months when Kumble was there. 

 

If there are intelligent people involved as coaches then they don't seem to have much say.  (  Bangar comes across as intelligent and tactical in commentary but his opinion was perhaps not considered much )
