After watching first 2 days of India Australia test match(oct,2008) , one can draw only one conclusion i.e senior players should go.Gaungly said after his retirement announcement that I had only one bad series in sri lanka,and selectors made their judgement on the basis of that single tournament only.But i disagree ,if you see India 's last year performance you will see that India barely managed a drawn series at home against South Africa, lost series against australia and then sri lanka.At home ,India is not winning anymore. Anil Kumble's magic has suddenly disappeared.Austarlians find it very easy to singles and doubles against tired Indian legs. In fact , everytime ball goes in the direction of gaungly they take runs at ease without any threat of getting run-out.So this creates a difference of 70-80 runs in an innings. Then, if India bats ,rivals feel that they can easily stop these daddies taking singles or doubles.Hence ,it further pushes back Indians.
Time has come for these cricketers to say goodbye.Youngsters certainly deserve place in the Indian squad.They have proved in ODIs when given a longer stint in the team. I am sure they will prove in longer version of the game also ,if given a longer run.
