Default re : Random Thoughts

I think there is no question that we are not worthy of test status.

What we need to is fast track our development of youngsters, continue to bring in coaches, arrange more U-19 and 'A' tours, and concentrate on the 4-day league.

Unfortunately it is evident that barring some once in a blue moon performances, we dont have the batting strength to last more than 3 sessions, at best.

What is more unfortunate is that thanks to ICCs 10 year plan (I'm sure they meant well) , we will be playing a lot of tests, which means a lot more humiliating defeats than what we need.

Changing coach after coach is not the answer. Our players are at fault here, and the coach can do very little. Think of how Tushar Imran got out with 5 overs to go (and that has been the trademark of our batsman) - I'm sure none of our coaches taught him to do that.

I just wish we could suspend all our test tours until further notice !!
