India and 400+ score ODIs

Now that the storm of the most exciting ODI match in history is over, I have a few observations regarding such high ultra-high scoring games. I think with Twenty20 (PRO20) matches being played, batsmen are developing a capability of non-stop hitting. Its no more a question of hitting when the field is up or when the PowerPlays are on. Its about constant hitting. Being an Indian fan I am concerned about this. My basic reason of worry is that BCCI has declared that India will NOT play Twenty20 games at all since its an 'absrurd' format. Fair enough. But what about the constant-fast-scoring ability other Twenty20 playing team players are inherently developing? Can Indian players match up with such peers? Its not an immediate crisis but something worth pondering.

According to me, India will get in a win/win situation if they decide to play Twenty20 matches with an alternate squad. The likes of Dravid, Tendulkar need not play these games. Sehwag, Yuvraj, Raina, Ramesh Powar and others who are young and can be honed to gain multidimensional capabilites can be included. Not only will it improve the current players game, but it will introduce new hitters for a stint in ODIs.
