Ownership, Responsiblity and Winning...


Traditionally, ownership will be with seniors, managers and responsiblity flows down to the junior level. What if ownership is given to juniors and responsiblity is pushed up to senior people?

I dont know this contra thinking will work in any other fields but it works with indian cricket team. A guy with the batting style of gully cricketer is donning captainship and a guy who has no clue against spin bowling is given vice-captainship, seniors with not so bad time with bat recently were shown doors. Grand old man (?) of the team, Sachin, was given the responsiblity of just batting.

Though donning the captaincy at younger age is not new to cricket world, the complete makeover of filling all positions with yougsters along with most experienced player in the world is new thought. This whole new thought fetched favourable result, winning a series in Aus after 23 years.

I thoroughly enjoyed every game of this series.
