It is important to groom a few onew bowlers, says MS Dhoni – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, the Indian skipper, has stressed upon the need of flourishing a new crop of young cricketers, especially bowlers, and bringing them into the cricket mainstream of the country so that they secure the future of the Indian cricket. The
captain argued that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 possesses abundant talent but the thing it lacks is a proper grooming process.
Dhoni, who seems to be highly dejected after his first big failure as the team leader, is not going to rely on the senior players in future and wants the young blood to shoulder the responsibility of perking up the team’s standard and status.
Thanks to the lackluster performances of the seniors, Team India have suffered a heart-rending 0-4 series defeat against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 and lost their hard-won No. 1 position in world Test rankings.
The English have excellently outplayed the Indians in each of the three departments and whitewashed the 4-match npower Test series at their home grounds. They completed this glorious task last night by beating the tourists in the 4th and final
Test with a huge margin of an innings and 8 runs.
Though the Indian batsmen have also been out-of-form but the bowlers have failed badly on the grassy tops which require a totally different bowling strategy than what they employ at the dry and flat home pitches.
Now, Dhoni has called upon the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to energise the team with fresh and hot blood.
Talking to the media today, the skipper said, “I think it is important not to lose bowlers. It is hard -- especially when you are not playing in the sub-continent - to manoeuvre with three specialist bowlers and use the part-timers, who more often than not,
are spinners. It will be really important to groom a few other bowlers or have the bench strength of bowlers ready.”
He further told, “We need to groom as many youngsters as possible -- try to give them confidence by not shuffling them too much. It is all about giving confidence to the next generation.”
Now, the Men in Blue are going to play a 5-match ODI series against the mighty Poms.
