i think players shudnt b allowed to advertise like most personalities r banned from publicity in elections.
they earn enough from contracts and match fees.

i dont see any problems with ads. it hardly requires any time. but the fact is that our bench isnt strong enough. is it possible that with so much m0oney in its kitty and 100 crore ppl to search from it cant find 30-40 good players? where is the money going. is lavish offices with escalators and other ****. thats the question to be asked. every player goes through bad patch. thats why we should have enough backup.

just take it, we are not a sporting country. we do not have a culture of being sportsmen/women. Worldcup in 83 happened by fluke, by a bunch of passionate and crazy people. We will never going to have any cricket world cup, or any other cup. forget about it.

But I still dont think that India will win unless its with Bermuda because Davison of canada will just smash our bowlers and win and Ireland, those guys played better than India in the World Cup

I disagree with you. We have gone behind in hockey only because it's become a European game now. Astroturf, no off side rule, rolling substitutions have killed the Asian game and Asian giants like India, Pakistan and South Korea.

Have you ever watched a hockey match between these any two of these three countries?

So, in short, we are a sporting nation. Hell, ask the Germans to play with 1960s rules of hockey. Let's see how many matches they win aganinst Air India, leave out India seniors.

My expert opinion is that we shud implement privatisation here too. We shud have 5+ Indian teams each belonging to a different company. They shud keep playing some kinda tournament among themselves and the best one shud then play the next International tournament.

Also any person growing fat like Sehwag and losing his reflexes shud be thrown out! This way there wud be no politics either in cricket.

New Rule NO:1: Plastic Ball (Preferred):rolleyes: or Tennis Ball or Rubber Ball to be used while bowling to Indian Team.

New Rule NO:2: Only one stick should be kept while Indian Team is Batting instead of Three so that their chances of getting out bowled will be minimised.:rolleyes:

New Rule NO:3: Indian Team can wrap up their legs with 4 or 5 bats instead of pads, so that there is no chance of getting out lbw.:)

New Rule NO:4: The size of the ball can be reduced to the size of a lemon or size of their bat can be increased to twice its size. Or the size of the ground can be decreased to that of a Basketball Ground.:p

New Rule NO:5: Fast Bowlers are prohibited to bowl the following deliveries to Indian Team. They should not bowl Inswinger, Outswinger, Off cutter, Leg cutter, Bouncer, Short Pitched Ball, Reverse swinging ball, yorker, reverse swinging yorker, slower ball and most importantly in and around the off stump corridor. Violations SHOULD result immediate awarding of matches to INDIA

New Rule NO:6: Slow Bowlers are prohibited from bowling off spin,leg spin,doosra,googly,china man,flipper,faster ball. Violations SHOULD result immediate awarding of matches to INDIA:lol:

New Rule NO:7: Speed restrictions for bowlers:
FAST BOWLERS: MAX 120 KMPH (100 Km/h if the batsmen are a crorepathis).:D
SLOW BOWLERS: MAX 50 KMPH (negotiable with batsman's comfort):rolleyes:

New Rule NO:8 Fast bowlers in their runup should run like Mohinder Amarnath and slow bowlers should not run at all.:eek:

New Rule NO:9 Indian Team Croreathis can change their position as medium fast bowlers instead of Batsman and bat at No.s 7-11, so that by the time they enter the ground 48 or 49 overs would have been bowled.:grin:

New Rule NO:10: I.C.C Should warn Pakistan or (ANY OPPOISITION) Bowlers that hereafter any bowler taking Indian Team's wicket, the number will not be added to the bowler's tally of wickets.

New Rule NO:11: Bowlers should not appeal for dismissal of Indian Team. Even a small appeal (not necessarily loud appealing or excessive appealing) will lead to match referees suspending the bowler for the rest of the series. Loud appealing or excessive appealing should result in :twisted: life ban.:twisted:

New Rule NO:12: Fast Bowlers should only throw the ball and slow bowlers should use underarm throw.:-D

New Rule NO:13: Even after this if Indian Team gets out, the bowler will be called a chucker and new rule for bowling action, i.e.( 2.975 degrees bending of bowling arm allowed for fast bowlers and 3.0145 degrees bending of bowling arm for slow bowlers) will be taken into account and the bowler will be immediately sent to Australia by next flight for corrective action.:shock:

New Rule NO:14: No fielder should catch the ball hit by Indian Team. If they catch, then any of the opening batsman who got out earlier, like virender shewag / other crorepathis wouldl be allowed to bat for second time.

New Rule NO: 15: For every minute Indian Team stays in the middle, one run will be added to its score and if the ball hits the bat and travels to the following places, runs will be credited to Indian Team as follows.

Slip, Gully, Forward Short Leg: 1 run
Mid on, mid off, cover,point: 2 runs
long on, long off, fine leg, third man: 3 runs.
and finally if Indian Team's wicket is taken before Viru reaches 50 runs all opposition players would be fined 50% of their match fees.

Appropriate amounts (in lakhs or crores) may be distributed at the end of game for their " effort":idea: .

1st rule : Agar fast bowlers ne bowl slow phekni hi hai toh run up chota kar le.Itni dur se bhaag kar spin kyu daalte hai hamare fast bowlers.

2nd Rule : Kumble doesnt know how to spin,so make him our opening fast bowler.

Why not the Indian players themselves?

Also number eleven should open the innings

Also the Indian Goverment should allocate 1% of GDP for the welfare of indian cricketers living below the poverty line. After all they are national heroes.;)

EDIT: forgot to mention, any player earning less than 15 crores a year is considered below poverty line.
