Indian middle order problem in ODIs is often discussed. We dont have a settled no 4 and 5 also need a replacement of Dhoni.
One factor often overlooked is a part time bowling.During 2000-2008, we had Sachin, Saurav, Yuvraj, Sehwag even Raina.These guys could have been rotated according to pitch conditions.These part timers have 500+ wickets amongst them and did a decent job on economy front.They used to bowl 16-18 overs together on avg. in ODi per game. That allows you to play with 4 regular bowlers.
Why dont teams have many part timers now?
