SHASTRI SEEK SUCCESS

Ravi Shastri is the blue eyed boy of BCCI. He always toes the line of
the cricket body. It is no surprise that BCCI runs to him every time.
He was a very average cricketer. The establishment played him in every
spot from 11 to 1 to ensure he remains in the team. To his credit, it
must be said that he grabbed what was offered to him. As a bowler,I
have nothing to say except that he was steady. One good thing about
Ravi Shastri is that he is not short of words and a good communicator.
He is also reported to ensure that others listen and act as per his
diktats which is good because the brats we have in the team need
someone to crack the whip.  It was somewhat easy for Border to build a
side in early 70s because he got disciplined guys and also because he
could set an example to others. The present Indian team suffers from a
bloated ego and sort of indiscipline. Let us hope that for the sake of
Indian cricket, Shastri is able to do something. His support staff of
Arun, Bangar and Shridar are also very good.  It is to revamp the
side.  Appointment of Shastri is not just for the debacle of Dhoni and
company but to make sure that the team comes out trumps after disaster
struck the side in Test match cricket.  It is time for revamp.
