Sydney, May 13 : Australia is no more the best country at identifying cricket talent, an aspect that India have mastered after taking inputs from the Aussie structure, former Aussie captain Greg Chappell has said.
Chappell said that both England and India are ahead of Australia in grooming young talent. He has proposed a radical overhaul of Australia s domestic programme. India have got their act together and that s largely because [India s National Cricket Academy chief and former Test captain] Rahul Dravid has picked our brains, seen what we re doing and replicated it in India and with their much larger [population] base, Chappell told cricket.com.au

Former India captain Rahul Dravid “picked” the Australian “brains” to create a solid domestic structure which has served as a feeder line for his country’s national team, something Australia is missing badly, feels Greg Chappell.
