Intellectual discussion on way forward

[ungboysj]

Enough of the so called experts here hyping up useless players like Iyer siraj saini krishna blah blah and when they went bust then dump them and move on to next

 

Sometimes I feel even in Indian selection and team management don't have the serious intellectual discussion for way forward like Australia and England do

 

Maybe we can have one here so maybe team and selectors can see this thread and do something 

 

1. With the resources in hand it's about time india should be winning most of icc trophies and almost unbeatable home and away

 

2. Team selection should be based on talent performance and merit and fair .No wrong investment for long time like Rahul .

 

3.Scientific stat analysis should be utilised to know which players performs against best team on most demanding situations and is winning matches

 

My focus is mainly on test team going forward and here is my take at present

 

Players that should be core of team going forward and players who can play atleast 4-5 years easily 

 

Jaiswal -best talent probably since sachin

 

Pant - all time great in tests

 

Bumrah -ATG

 

GILL- Had a decent start and is improving slowly . Probably not a huge talent as was expected but decent .

 

Sundar- Real talent both with bat and ball and will improve with confidence . Still work in progress with bat I feel

 

Unfortunately only these are players at present who have shown enough for future performance 

 

Akashdeep siraj mukesh Krishna iyer  are crap or not worth the investment.Sarfaraz may be decent but with that physique better to let go of him to have good fitness culture

 

So we have 5 good test players for future who are option for remaining 6

 

Here are some players I feel have talent to succeed in international cricket and can be tried if they succeed .

 

Mayank yadav - yes he is injured mostly but really has some potential and not wayward like umran

 

Reddy - I think he is going to be really special players I like players who succeed at early age and start winning games sign of real future.

 

Sai sudarshan - he seems to be having a really good technique and made that wonderful 100 in South Africa . 

 

Kuldip sen I think is really good talent but unfortunately seems like team has moved on from him due to injuries

 

I haven't seen harshit to comment upon

 

Other player of interest munsheer khan Tyagi

 

Axar kuldeep are stop gap talent if anything 

 

Jurel should only be wk reserve and not a genuine bat

 

We need to find some others especially batsman to make a real great test team again and main issue will be captain . I think we will need a real intelligent and quiet alpha type of captain mix of dhoni and kohli , in dont see it in anyone of above 

 

What are other long terms options

Jab tak Cooli aur Vada Pav rahega, tab tak apna dimaag ghar pe rakh kar match dekhna. No intellectual discussion possible.

Kick out Rohit, Kohli, KL Rahul for starters. Get in players who have the cojones to show up when it matters like Rinku. And back youngsters like Sai Sudarshan, Jurel, Paddikal, Harshit etc.
