After the debacle of the world cup 2007, India's one day team have shown little to no improvement at all. Despite having extremely heavy scorers in Yuvraj Singh, Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid, supported by the able Mahendra Dhoni and Gautam Gambhir, India continue to struggle in ODIs.
The bowling department is a massive problem. The extremely impressive Zaheer Khan struggles to take wickets in ODIs so does RP Singh. Others (Agarkar and Munaf Patel) are extremely expensive to the extent that it nullifies the wickets they pick up.
The fielding has become poor to an unbelieveable extent. There is constantly a single to the infield and even fielders like Yuvraj Singh are making misfields for stops they should be stopping.
What do you suggest should be done to make up for the poor bowling and fielding, should the batting department have to make a sacrifice for a better fielder?
Just for arguements sake, this is the team we have before change:
Sourav Ganguly
Sachin Tendulkar
Gautam Gambhir
Yuvraj Singh
Rahul Dravid(*)
Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Uthappa/Karthik/Agarkar
Ramesh Powar
Piyush Chawla
Zaheer Khan
RP Singh
Please don't just post a team without explanation.
