Q. Why is it that Indian batsmen of late are not participating in county cricket in England? Will it not be better for players like Kolhi, Rohit, Raina, Pujara and others to get technically equipped to face rising deliveries and seaming deliveries - is it that the IPL is ruining our players and are they not fond of taking the extra load of county cricket?

A. The collective batting failure of Indian batsman outside the sub continent is not new but given India's performances in the recent past, everyone is stunned. The fact of the matter is, it was expected that they would slide down as the passion and fire in their belly has mellowed down drastically because of the WC triumph and the IPL tamasha. The IPL has opened a window for Indian discards & potential prospects to look for opportunities without sweating it out in the purest form of cricket. It is all about planting your front foot and flashing hard and that's it, business over in IPL and your bank balance is huge. Virender Sehwag although plays fearless cricket, has an awesome record, triple hundreds, double hundreds, a wise cricket fan will admit he is a bad example for cricket batsmanship. If a batsman cannot curb his natural instincts and play for the country, you are not fit anymore, time and again this has happened and he has come back with swash buckling hundreds on the flattest of pitches in India. He is the poorest as far as footwork is concerned in India alongside VVS. India have to seriously look into other options, patience is always better than arrogance and sehwag is an epitomy of arrogant, careless, lethargic batsmanship. Dravid has gone into a hibernation mode, after a stupendous display in England, it just seems he has gone into an all time high, that he is not able to concentrate and his shortcomings against incoming deliveries , being bowled, lbw, he is past his prime now atleast with nothing left for him to get himself motivated.He also holds the dubious record of being bowled most number of times in 5 day cricket and also his record in 2nd innings of Test matches is the poorest, has not scored a fifty over 18 months. Kohli is the brightest young player in World cricket, he has the skill, potential to go long. He needs some grooming in temparament area and he looks fine to get into the shoes of the trio. He looks more assured and solid than VVS, Sehwag, Dravid. He has the passion to play for country, we can pick players who want to perform with passion rather than proven performers without passion and fire after all motivation is something indian players lack because of surplus money. Kohli is young and impressive, he can perform better and will do well if groomed.

Q. India is more dependent on players like Dravid, Laxman, Tendulkar, Sehwag, Zaheer - all to some extent tired legs. What chances are that half chances not taken and full chance missed - and running of singles - not so aggressive as that of Aussies - will this series mark the end of the threesome and usher in Pujara, Rohit and others?
