Peter Roebuck says it is unwise for India to be planning so far ahead of the 2011 World Cup. Instead India must set out to win as many matches as possible. Read the full piece in the Hindu.
Dhoni and his think-tank must also avoid the temptation to use inexperience as an excuse every time a match is lost. Responses of that sort display a lack of faith. Rather they should absorb the lessons and promote improvement. Players must become familiar with their roles.
Sharda Ugra in India Today says Dhoni and the young bats need to show India enough signs of why it was a good idea to ask Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman to go home, and not only by taking catching blinders or running fast.
