Do you think the senior cricket players of India should retire and give way to the younger generatio

The younger team has a higher success rate.

Beat Australia in Commonwealth Bank Series and T20 World Championship. Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman and Anil Kumble dont have that magic in them anymore. I think they have lost their passion and determination. What are your views?

Thanks.

But not Sachin.He should keep playing till the 2011 world cup at least.

Well for that,the youngsters have to %26#039;EARN%26#039; their place in the test team.We should not give them a place for other great cricketers just because they%26#039;re young.They have to earn it,in one day cricket the youngsters grabbed every opportunity that was given to them with both hands.

They have to do the same in test cricket.We need to give them chances one by one and let%26#039;s see which of them delivers in test cricket.

Youngsters should take over but they should earn their place.

Edit-

I am with the seniors.They all can give Indian team a lot in test cricket.

The stats provided by KooKee just show us how successful the senior cricketers have been in test cricket in last year.So they should continue.

Indian fans have short memory,they just remember the last game.

One month ago,we were saying that these seniors should keep playing for next 2 years and India will be one of the best teams and now we are talking about their retirement.

That%26#039;s just too much.

The youngsters are doing well but only in odi cricket and don%26#039;t forget that we still have to depend on tendulkar to give us good starts.

This is bad. I deserved the best answer for this. Report It

|||Test match is a completely different ball game. It tests a players%26#039; nerves. The younger team has definitely been fabulous, but they still have a long way to go. And don%26#039;t forget we could not win the CB series without the cricket God.

I don%26#039;t think the players have lost their passion and determination. Don%26#039;t forget the same team did so well in Australia.

And you have to admit a thing- we Indians are weird creatures. We win a test, and proclaim us to be world champs, we lose a test, and start bashing the players.

Don%26#039;t lose hope, we can win the final test and square up the series.|||Test team should contain seniors - its a necessity! While i think the ODI and 20-20 team should be totally of youngsters along with Sachin! Sachin is the person who should be in all three teams, without him the team is incomplete! The 1st innings of the 2nd test of Ind against SA was 76 because of sachin%26#039;s absence!|||Ya, I think so...|||i don%26#039;t know why there is so much fuss about seniors and youngster lately, especially after the t20 world cup.

thats just one tournament people, don%26#039;t draw conclusions.

a player should be selected on the basis of his performance, if he is the among the top 11 players of the country he should be playing, only better players should replace the lesser players irrespective of them being senior or junior.

and many people are talking about bad performance of seniors, i say dhoni should be out of the test team, he hasn%26#039;t performed even up to the standard for a long time, no big or match saving innings by him, especially when parthiv patel and karthik have scored very well in domestic cricket.

and one more thing i want a clear cut definition of a what people mean by young team now days|||Yes If they have the bench strength to replace them.|||i dont think that it will be a fair decision to drop out senior players.they have served the country and its unfair to leave them out of the team just like that.why cant the team be a blend of experiences and youths.on my part of view senior players should be given oppurtunity to serve for india.thats the way for india%26#039;s victory|||no|||if they doesnot perform well then they should retire from both the odi and test|||Everybody is saying this.

Plz give me the names of substitutes of -

Sachin Tendulkar.

Saurav Ganguly.

Rahul Dravid.

VVS Laxman.

Anil Kumble.

And if you are counting then

Virendra Sehwag.

Harbhajan Singh.

Can you imagine a test squad of India without them right now.........??????????

Answer will be

%26quot; NO %26quot;|||They should give youngster%26#039;s a chance|||no the average retirement age of a cricketer is 37 and the senior players still have a way to go but however i think against the smaller nations they should use a much younger side|||Its time to go with dignity. Else .....|||dnt speak such kind of things,

one game u people can speak such kind of things. test is totally different game and always speak young young, without senior and younger combination team is nothing.|||nope...Players like them have a lot of cricket left in them...Just one bad performance and people start criticising them,that%26#039;s not fair..And moreover,you don%26#039;t have the players who can replace their class as far as test cricket goes...Yaar,you just wait for the next match...i%26#039;m sure they%26#039;ll bounce back..and who will take their place??We have seen how players like Yuvi fared against Australia...come on,our seniors are gems...they can%26#039;t just quit so easily...and they shouldn%26#039;t..|||Here%26#039;s some stats for you which should help

Last Year (2007)

Ganguly averaged 61.44 in test matches with the bat

Dravid averaged 35.64 in test matches with the bat

VVS Laxman averaged 55.11 in test matches with the bat

Tendulkar averaged 55.42 in test matches with the bat

Kumble averaged 29.40 with the ball in test matches

Looking at these averages, how can you say any of these players should be dropped ??

Dravid%26#039;s the only player out of the players you mentioned who averaged less last year than there average !!!

Last year India played England, Australia and Pakistan too, 3 very good teams.

My point is that just because you lost one match to a very good side, i wouldn%26#039;t jump to conclusions !!. All these players are world class competitors who deserve more respect by the fans and the BCCI !!

Don%26#039;t drop any of them !!!!|||Do it by all means. But remember that the juniors so selected should be better than the seniors in performance and discipline.|||Nooo...we can afford to drop Ganguly but we should keep the rest! Especially Sachin..India NEEDS him :)
