Lots to do in little time

There are 40-odd team meetings left for Rahul Dravid to revitalise his team. If, as is rumoured, Dravid is viewed as closer to Chappell than to his team, then that needs immediate rectification, writes Rohit Brijnath in Sportstar
There are approximately 15 matches left to get our quick bowlers to figure line and length is not as complicated as Fermat's last theorem. Overreaction gets us nowhere, but India's public is entitled to its team at least knowing the basics. Furthermore, is there something in the Penal Code we are unaware of which forbids bowling coaches? If Australia can have one, humbly so can we.
Also read Peter Roebuck's piece in the same magazine where he says, India lacks a core of respected elders able to carry the team along through hell and high water.
