Srikanth's first musings as chief selector of india:
"S Badrinath, Rohit Sharma and a few others have the talent but it is not ability alone that makes a player tick at the highest level," Srikkanth told Deccan Chronicle. "Mental strength is critical and cannot be taught, it has to be within, and the likes of Sachin [Tendulkar], Rahul [Dravid] and Anil [Kumble] have shown the way over a good period of time. It will be important to groom the youngsters under them.
badri, rohit etc you will have your chances...but not now...this way you will get some much needed lessons in mental strength...till its at 'critical' level...
"An eye for the future is equally important. Hard decisions might have to be taken in the future. The current Test team is one of the best India has ever had and it will not be easy replacing them."
ganguly, you can afford to smile for a while...get your swan song ready...
PS: he's almost sounding so un-cheeka...
