Thank you BCCI (Special mention to Vengsarkar)

Your worst critic cannot do a better job the way you choose to showcase all the fundamental problems plaguing Indian Cricket with maximum exposure. You did it at the 50 Over WC and now in this high profile clash with OZ.

One can talk about it, but nothing like actually seeing a bunch of unfit, use by date past, unathletic, lethargic principally FTBs actually living up to it live. Also cracking the other myth that normally gets thrown around i.e. Indian bowlers let the batsmen down in overseas tours.

There was an opportunity to fix this after the WC, but as usual the numbers games has been played using the accumulations against Sub standard attacks and this is what we get.

And all those questions including the real abilities of Yuvraj and Dhoni at this level are still out there at large.

The pity is this narrow minded thinking of the establishment and the parochial fans are preventing the kind of talent that India has been shown in the 20-20 WC, India "A" and ICL outings from being offered to perform for the Country.

As they say those who lack the insight and objectivity will only see it when it happens and BCCI is a prime example of that.

"As they say those who lack the insight and objectivity"

so says someone who's wondering why india's t20 and icl heroes are not in the test side just after questioning yuvraj and dhoni's test match quality
