Yuvraj was very candid and outright in his statement the other day when he was talking to the media. All said and done the Aussies beat us fair and square in the one day series. Team India was outplayed in all departments of the game. Although the victory margin only looked 4-2 but in the matches India lost we were beaten convincingly. And our victories were very close where we could have lost. But the biggest blunder we did was to loose the Nagpur match after a good opening stand by both the openers. One thing that comes out clearly after the recently concluded one day series is we need young blood. One day matches are not Dravid or Sachin's cup of tea now anymore.
The battle in one day matches has become far more fierce and competitive with good running between the wickets and outstanding fielding being the weapon to win matches. India has already shown that mettle in the T-20 matches by winning the world cup and the one off match with Australia.
The selectors should now look at building the team for the big world cup. I feel we also need good , young and aggressive selectors with sharp thinking. Loose and slippery tongue selectors like Colonel will bring in friction between the players and the coach. I hope the board takes this into consideration and keep a eye on the selectors. No wonder Jimmy called the Indian selectors a bunch of jokers. Well he paid the price for it but that is the real truth that governs the selection committee of Indian cricket.
