Just wanted to post that " my analysis " has been officially confirmed by VVS himself. Here is the article
http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/special-videos/selection-committee-boosted-our-confidence-vvs-laxman_504578.html
So basically VVS said that -- the INSECURITY feeling about his place in the team was always there during GANGULY & DRAVID's captaincy. The INSECURITY went away from when ANIL KUMBLE took over captaincy & then followed by MS DHONI.
Lesson of Karma for Ganguly & Dravid -- you try to screw career of a very good cricketer called VVS -- everyone knows what happened to Ganguly & even Dravid had to suffer and eventually dropped from ODI side. If you do bad deeds knowingly -- what goes around comes around -- that's the greatness of Karma principle.
In 2007 WC most of the same players were there and what happened ?? I hope the selectors wake up & hope SACHIN's dream also comes true...
Here r two questions that were asked to VVS & his answers... IMAGINE how VVS would have performed if he had been given the SECURED feeling before 2007 ??? It's INDIA'S loss not to utilize VVS potential to fullest.
Q: The last couple of years I think starting 2009 you have been on song, isn't it? And I have read somewhere that you said that it is because you have enjoyed being in the cricket environment more than you have ever in the rest of your career. What has changed and who are you attributing the change to?
A: I think I have really enjoyed since 2007, since Anil Kumble took over as captain because before that probably there was lot of insecurity in me..
Q: About your place in the team?
A: About my place in the side even though I was doing so well. I think since Anil took over as captain he gave me the confidence that I was a very important member of the side and then that continued with Gary and MS Dhoni as captain and coach and I think since 2007 the atmosphere in the dressing room has been unbelievable and we are more like a family and we enjoyed each others company. So it creates a space, they created a space where we can go out and perform to the best of our abilities and not think about the things which are not in our control.
Also probably the selection committee also helped because the selection committee chaired by Srikanth has helped, they gave the confidence to just go out and play to our fullest potential and not think about the selection and other matters. Gary says, preparation is very important and you should not think too much about the result, as long as you prepare hard for each and every test match. And that’s what I have done, I have prepared hard; It’s not like I had not done before but I have prepared really hard for each and every test match and just backed my game plan and enjoyed my cricket in the last 2.5 years.
