'Reserves the strength'

India need to improve their bench strength if they are to emulate Australia as the world's leading cricket side, according to new coach Greg Chappell.
"I think the strength of the Australian team is not so much about the stars of that team, but what I would call the second-tier players," Chappell said in an interview published in Tuesday's Indian Express.
The Australian great has an early opportunity to test his reserves in a triangular one-day series starting July 30 in Sri Lanka with India naming newcomers Suresh Raina and Venugopal Rao in a 16-member squad.
The tri-series, also featuring the West Indies, will be Chappell's first assignment as India coach after taking over from New Zealander John Wright in May.
Chappell said the key to Australia's dominance was "the guys who are not the superstars of the team, but keep putting in day after day.
"Somebody puts the hand up when one or two or three of their top players maybe goes through a lean
patch or has a bad game," said the former Test captain.
"Now people like Justin Langer -he is an unsung hero in the Australian team. Damien Martyn and (Michael) Kasprowicz are the prime examples."
India may have star batsmen in Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, but their overall performance left a lot to be desired, Chappell said.
"I think most of the megastars have been in batting," he said.
"To win matches, you have to bowl teams out, especially in Tests, you have to get 20 wickets to win matches.
"So I think this Australian team is being built very much around (Glenn) McGrath and (Shane) Warne, with some very good support from (Jason) Gillespie and Kasprowicz."
Chappell said a winning side required more than "just putting 11 good players on the field" and hoping that they were going to play well.
"Champion teams are not always necessarily full of champions," he said. "They are the teams that do the basics very well. They do ordinary things extraordinarily well and that's what makes the champion team."
Chappell said he felt India would do better in one-day cricket if they
realised the importance of running between wickets and building partnerships.
"I guess it is not fours and sixes that win one-day games. It's just ones and twos. And if you look at the teams that do well, they get the highest percentages of ones and twos," he said.
"So I think a change of accentuation is something that we need to look at with Indian cricket. I think again coming back to do the basic things which I call 'outcricket', like running between wickets and fielding are very important aspects of the game."
The coach said if India want to become a champion side they would have to show a commitment to excellence.
"The biggest challenge is selling the vision and the commitment to excellence that I have talked about," he said.
Chappell said India had the potential to become the world's leading team.
"Mine is probably one of the -- if not the -- most exciting jobs in cricket," he said.
"I think India is the epicentre of cricket. Financially, in numbers, it's the epicentre of cricket. Hopefully in time, on the field too, it'd be the epicentre of cricket and lead cricket into the later part of this century."
