It’s about time for the Indian team to chop some meat, assert former Indian Cricketers – Cricket News Update
As crude as it sounds, former Indian cricketers have shown no mercy towards the underperforming Indian team that lost its second Test against Australia yesterday, giving the Aussies an upper hand by 2-0 in the series.
This was http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750’s sixth consecutive humiliating defeat abroad, in Sydney on Friday. Previously, the team lost a Test against the Aussies in the ongoing series and a 4-match series against England to lose its number one Test team status.
In regard to this, former Indian cricketers have highly criticized the current team saying that it’s about time to let go of the seniors and build a new team of young blood. Anshuman Gaekwad, former Indian opening batsman, said, "We can't always think short-term.
We need to start building a team as well. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321 is very hard working but I am not sure how long Laxman will be able to continue."
Laxman has been under criticism for quite some time, yet the Indian skipper, Dhoni, has expressed belief in his capabilities similar to how http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746
suffered after losing some of its key players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Matthew-Lawrence-Hayden-c75233, since it had no backup plan. With this in mind, former cricketers maintain that India should start including younger players in the squad to avoid
a similar decay.
Gaekwad further said, “You can't phase out all the three seniors at a time. You have to do that gradually. The youngsters will learn only in the company of the seniors."
Former test cricketer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sanjay-Vijay-Manjrekar-c88628 upheld Gaekwad’s opinion by Tweeting, “I would still drop VVS and get Rohit in for next test. Makes long-term sense. Give Virat one more test ... just to be sure he does not belong here.”
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, the Indian skipper, rejected such notions and said that one individual should not be blamed for the consequences, but the whole team should be a part of it. According to him, the seniors still have a lot to give to the team
and so they should not be picked up on.
