Glad that **** show ended. If thakur was played so that others are not risked / rested that was another thing but really there is no excuse for picking him ever again. Give him the dube treatment and take the idea behind the shed and shoot it please. I don't want for selectors to forget this and pick him again when the next odi tournament starts next month or whenever.

Is it me or India has no clue how to play ODIs now..? 

This is a fair assumption. Our batters barring Rohit cannot set big scores and our middle order is still a work in progress.

 

Bowlers are feeling the pressure because of the above two reasons.

South Africa in 90s was a well-drilled team. Only Donald and Pollock were the really gifted bowlers in their team. But the rest of their attack - Fannie, McMillan, Klusener, Craig Mathews, Symcox, Kallis, Cronje (a batting 'trundler' who still kept it very-2 tight) - had their plans, kept their intensity levels high and their effectiveness as a bowling group was greater than sum of their parts.  That is what we need to strive for - attention to details, the hard work to get bowlers to make the minor adjustments that raise their game, the ability to work the opposition out, and identifying right talent and then sticking with it.

 

We need a Cronje-Woolmer / Naseer-Fletcher / Border-Simmons / Ganguly-Wright type partnership to truly dominate cricket. The sacking of Kumble has pushed our team back. He was a real thinker of the game, someone who believed in planning & meticulous execution.
