Default thoughts about the indian team

i always thought that indian team is the biggest underachiever in cricket. they have some tremendous players who never play to their potential (except tendu or dravid lately). think about yuvraj, he is such a nice batsman but he never seems to concentrate when he is batting, maybe his mind is in the commercials or in some actress etc.

but the biggest factor that contribute of their underachievement i think is that they tend to give players too much respect. when tendu is not playing or gangu is not captain, it seems like they believe they will lose. It is important for the indian team to get rid of this mindset. the absence of tendu and also gangu for next months i think will be blessing for the indian team. yuvraj should be sent to open in one dayers as he is much better against pace . laxman should be sent consistently at number 3. all in all a new look batting lineup under dravid would fare much better.
