Very nice and well thought out article. However, I disagree that the induction of youngsters is the answer. As far as I am concerned, age is not always a factor. If an older player is in better form would you drop that player just because of age? Then most of Australian players would not be in their team. Players need to perform, that is the single most important criterion. If a young player performs well that is even better, because the future would look bright for the team.

This article did not touch on who should be the next captain, but I am certainly against Mashrafee being the next one. In general bowlers are not good captains. The first problem is that they usually overbowl or underbowl themselves. If Mashrafee turns out to be an all rounder in the class of Imran Khan or Richard Hadlee, which he probably could, then I would be OK. In any case, I am digressing here.
