Brainfade Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 We are a very good test team, an excellent 20/20 team, but suck at 50-over ODIs. Go figure!! Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Do a MASS CULLING of the seniors in the ODI team and you will see INSTANT IMPROVEMENT. Link to comment

Just a couple of changes could make the ODI team very strong and some sensible umpiring would help. SAF were beaten very recently in ODIs too. Link to comment

Anakin Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Step 1: Drop Ganguly from the ODI team LOL, would not be a bad idea if Sehwag is selected in his place Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Doubt it. I don't think only youngster team can sustain this level of performance for 100 overs. I disagree. The average age of the Indian cricket team during the most successful ODI season in this decade - 2002/03 - was 24. That is right, 24. If anything, the brittle SENIORS are the ones who won't be able to sustain a high level of performance (with bat & in the field) over 100 overs. Link to comment

Predator_05 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Just pure energy does not equate with performance. ...and the younger players can't perform ? Did you see how Dhoni and Rohit Sharma handled the pressure today ? 3 wickets down in the space of an over, the team reeling on a bowling friendly pitch and this newly appointed captain along with an immensely talented Mumbaikar who happened to be making HIS DEBUT steered India to an unassailable total. It's not just about "energy" - it's about ATTITUDE. These kids don't put themselves under pressure like Tendulkar or Dravid would in similar situations Link to comment

yoda Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 Biggest problem facing Indian cricket is that the oldies don't know when to retire. They just want to suck every last ounce out of their cricketing life. There is no such thing as going out on top. They always have to be kicked in their balls and asked to get the fack out before they do it on their own. Link to comment
simba28 Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 cant judgethe current odi team based on 20 20 perfromance.. but the 50over game needs some seniors.. dravid and sachin.. I mean Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I still think SRT would've been more than a handful in 20-20. Link to comment
theguyinallblue Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 1. Ganguly Must be forced to retire from ODI ..(just to be on safer side..that he does not make a comeback) his poor running and very very poor fielding..and very weak arms....is just embarrassing. 2. Bring back sehwag..Rohit sharma..piyush chawla.. Link to comment
Anakin Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I still think SRT would've been more than a handful in 20-20. Definitely and a handy bowler too. Lucky for bowlers worldwide that 20/20 wasn't invented in the 90s Link to comment
