 Oct 4th, 2007  At long last, it seems like the BCCI selectors have realised that making Dravid, Ganguly and Tendulkar play in every single limited-overs international makes no sense, keeping in mind that aside from their batting (now that Dravid is no longer captain), they are essentially uni-dimensional cricketers, with Tendulkar being a better fielder (and bowler) than the other two. And in these times, ODI/Twenty20 cricket does not do uni-dimensional cricketers!CNN-IBN reports that in any game, only two of those three will play, and there will be enough rotation to ensure a balance between playing and resting the 'Big Three'. This is a welcome development for various reasons:
Reader Comments 22. I think three namely, Sachin, Gangulyand Dravid have enough potential to good and energetic game, they should be included in ODI matches, in T-20 we can give rest to them to give way to other budding players.

24. Guys, come on, u know and i know, without the the Big 3 India can't win. Tell me who is better than the Big 3, the young guys haven't done nothing to replace the big 3. I'm a West Indian, India doesn't want to go through what WI is going through now, can't win a game. In the early 90's WI selectors decided to drop Richards, Haynes, Logi etc, all at once. You can' do that, Sachin still performs better than anyone, Ganguly does the same, Dravid, for th e1st time in his career he have played 5 games without making a 50. Be smart guys, support the big 3, none of the selectors, have a better records than the big 3.

25. Big 3 should be slowly eased out, and this resting is a nice way to achieve that. By the way, we have a talented Dinesh Kaarthik also dropped. Why ? Does Dinesh's inclusion threaten the WK-Captain ?

27. wel, the gameplan of indian selecors & management is clear now after keeping dravid away from the team for the first 2 ODI'S with pakistan. i welcome this brave step but, it shud not b againest dravid only. top seniors must b rotated in the team and there shud b a regular revision on their performance.

28. Talking of rotation, seems like kind of sharing and reminds one of teamwork. The latest to talk for the sharing of senior players is Ravi Shastry who feels that Sachin should be a team captain. Ravi Shastry whose selfish approach towards trying to make sure that he became the major contributor to India's victory in the Benson and Hedges cup and get the A the audi for himself is something that everyone who saw the last 4 games of the champsionship knows too well. Today he is lost as far as having a line written for him in the record books is concerned. Now he is trying to show differences with Kapil, not realizing that going by the records at face value itself Kapil is right and Ravi is wrong for the simple reason that Ravi Shastry is is Ravi Shastry ( a wanna be ) and Kapil Dev is Kapil Dev one of the doyens of the game and an ambassador of the game and sportsmanship and hard work and fittness all of which were taboo and an anthema for Ravi Shastry and his likeminded bosses and cohorts.

31. One cannot allow all the three Sachin, Ganguli and Dravid for all time to come. They have to say goodbye someitmes. Only their recent performance has to be reviewd and chance should be given . No other force should work i the interest of Indian cricket.

32. The laziest BCCI president Mr. Pawar proved that he is good for nothing & BCCI has did not fix the coach of the team & as well finally the drama of captained is sorted out could be a achievement of Mr Pawar a useless BCCI president.
