Dear Sir, In 1969, Indian team debacle in a home series against New Zealand allowed the late Vijay Merchant,Chairman selection committee to draft in youngsters namely G.R.Vishvanath,Ambar Roy, Ashok Gandotra, ramesh nagdev, Eknath Solkar, Subroto Guha, The Amarnath Brothers,in 1971 in a momentous decision he replaced Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi with Ajit Wadekar and gavaskar made his debut along with some promising juniors like Kenia jayantilal, Venkatraghavan,P. Krishnamurthy,etc. The result-INDIA WON THE FIRST EVER SERIES AGAINST WEST-INDIES at WEST INDIES. Sardesai,Jaisimha,Durranni provided the experience to win.The following series saw India registering her epic win in England and again the youth and the experience played a pivotal role.However unfortunately today the famed Indian batting has failed to deliver the goods(Tendulkar,Sehwag,Ganguly,Yuvraj,Dhoni, harbhajan and Kumble ),al basking in past statistical glory. Greg Chappel is the target for failure of the poorest fielding side in the world.Suggesstion-drop senior cricketers replace with juniors for Bangla Desh tour and be ready for the forthcoming England tour,home series against Australia,Pakistan, and later to Australia during the year end.Recall the Senior players performance during the recent malaysia,Champion Trophy and South Africa tourThe result is obvious and BCCI must take drastic steps to overhaul the system, contract/sponsorship deals of the palyers should be reviewed minutely to enhance the performance.

Dear Sir/Dear madam To some extent this policy is good.In 1962, when Brazil hadw won the Cup becoming the first team to win the title for the first time for their back to back victory, the national prostittute of Brazil barged into the shower room of Garrincha and forcerd him to sex in the bathroom. That had raised a horror at Chile, and ever since then this had become an international issue.The Africans have showed the guts to eliminate this social junk by legalising the same.
Fine this is a positive step forward to eliminate criminalisation. Thnks Rgds Shyamal Bhattacharjee Bangalore

Tmrw if hooligans and fans of varoius countries start fighting after matches and start killing each other will the law sit and see it happening. Just becuz there are fights after matches and people get hurt and it happens and every body knows shd it be made legal.
I think it is more of a issue in mind and not in exectuion. The police commisioner is trying to make his job simple nothng else.

Prem,
The urge for legalising the public drinking and prostitutions for the forthcoming world cup in the country is quite unneccessary. Relaxing the laws against prostitutions is going to increase the degree of AIDS in the country. People as a cultured commodity must analyse the seriousness in this issue.
