STARDOM

Indian Cricket--Where stardom ranks higher then the game itself!..In the last couple of years or so,India has lost the world T-20 miserably.. lost the champions trophy.. lost to AUS and SRI in India.. almost lost a test match against BAN.. lost a couple of matches to SA in India..and yet, people said they were strong contenders for this year's world T-20 with stars like UV,Yusuf and Raina (of course,bowlers not included!!).. :P

Just talent is not enough.. It needs to be harnessed.. Players need to be developed in all aspects of their game so that they arrive fully equipped with the basics expected of a cricket player at the world stage..I hope BCCI is aware of the reality!!

ICC should get Ireland and Afghanistan to play more ODI and T-20 matches.. Promote test cricket between good and strong teams (instead of a AUS VS BAN series!) .. Give players (especially Indian) lesser salaries and lesser hectic schedules.. Instead of commercialising cricket to choking point,make cricket watchable once more!!...
