Winter of discontent

2012 has started with a bust and not a bang. Indian cricket ship sunk another notch. Ok. 0-6 overseas record. This is a good scoreline to make a few calls.

My Wishlist:

1. VVS Laxman makes way for Rohit Sharma. Time to bring him and check him out.
2. Virat Kohli: I think he is not a test material. He is a great bat if Test Cricket can start having field restriction for every 80 over. Long term, this is a Cheteshwar Pujara slot.
3. The opener is a slot that worries me the most. I know I will get killed for suggesting that Sehwag must go and make way for someone who has a KRA of seeing the new ball / shine off - 80 out of 100 times.
4. Something tells me that Ojha is a better spinner than Ashwin. But Ashwin deserves a few more chances. Seems to be a better bat; but I want him to take wickets.
5. One our bowling lineup: Know of any Indian who can pitch the ball up and bowl wicket to wicket consistently ?
6. Yadav needs to be nurtured. Ishant must make way for Varun Aaron. Just curious ... was Ishant It would have been interesting to watch Aaron on a green top Perth.
7. With so many slots up in the air - is Yuvraj Singh salivating ? Or is the door shut for him forever.

One final change:

1. I want Ravi Shastri to be stopped from the TV box.
2. I think we can use Dilbert's Vision Statement generator to spit out his expert comments as well.
