RE:Blame it on Dravid.

To all those people who bash Dravid in this forum:
I wonder if all these people really watched the match.
What can Dravid do if Ganguly gets run out like a bu*foon - I dont know what happened to him all of sudden?? An otherwise lazy c*nt was blindly charging down the pitch for a non existing couple and then failed to stretch while grounding the bat.
What's Dravid's fault if a batsman of Tendulkar's calibre struggle like a rookie?
What could Dravid have done if Yuvraj & Gambhir din't bother to trouble the scorers?
What would Dravid have done if the clumsy Dhoni decided that he would the Reqd RR from 6.5 to 9 an over. Watching Dhoni bat for 19 off 60 balls was such a pain...At one stage he was 5 of 40 balls...Why do people who mind Dravid scoring 12 off 96 dont see this. Dhoni's elevation to stardom, I must say, is the biggest disgrace to Indian cricket. I saw only one batsman apart from Karthik who had an intent to win. Dravid's six off Monty and his improvisation against Dimitry showed he was the lone warrior in a battle that was lost in the first 15 overs.
And how can Saurav / Sachin make good captains if they cant be selfless players at best?

I agree with mpc.The bulk of the team just did not deliver.England played well.Look at Bell.Here we have maestros struggling.The conditions were no different.Saurav,Sachin all failed and Dhoni was a disgrace.Look at Yuvraj's expansive drive.Does he think he is acting in an ad?Look at Gambhir with his drive of Anderson?The team was lousy not Dravid.Dravid baiters cannot hide this fact anymore.

In short - Right from openers to 11th man, everyone contributed for yesterday's defeat.

mpc ,I say Dravid is weak , bcox of the very poor decisions he take on the field .. Who the hell will give agarkar the last over ..He was giving lots of Runs and what the hell plan was that to complete Zaheers and RP overs by 49 ..Do u think it as a very good Captaincy ..
And Do u think Taking Gambhir over Utaapa was a good decision

I ENTIRELY AGREE WITH U IF INDIA WINS U KEEP THEM ON UR HEAD AND PARADE!!! IF THE SAME TEAM LOSES U STRIP THEM AND PARADE!!!! WE INDIANS NEVER GROW UP!!!
Be precise and correct with your information (rediff people). The comical run out was not between Agarkar & Chawla, It was b/w Dinesh Karthick and Chawla.
And as far as the jokers are concerned, The biggest joker of the day was M.S. Dhoni, who din't have a clue why he wa there at the crease.
Save India from such a captain in the upcoming T20 series.................
By this game, the Indian Cricket team have proved that only by luck they win games, but by performance they are still far behind the other teams. Lage Raho Indian Cricketers we are proud of you bcoz you help so many companies to sell their products..

Hihahah.... well said Mr. true indian. They don't kno how to bat , how to bowl, how to field.... Yes.. it's true. Even school childern never out like ganguly and dhoni. Now the god only save indian cricket.
As WHEN YOU ARE DOWN TO NOTHING, THEN GOD IS UP TO SOMETHING
A new look team for ODI"s which can run at least is set out -- Karthik,Uthappa,Tewary,Rohit Sharma,Yuvraj,Badrinath,Suresh Raina,Pankaj Singh,Irfan Pathan,Zaheer Khan and R.P.Singh.Spin can be delivered if needed by Rohit Sharma,Yuvraj,Raina as the fifth bowler.Let this team play all away tours abroad.Let us see the aggressive captain deliver with a new bunch.If Yuvraj is too risky because of his casual attitude let it be Kaif as at least he has experience and seems to be coming out of his slump.Reserves can be Piyush Chawla,Sreesanth,Praveen Kumar.
But Prem panicker and rediff co has lost the right to say that in Tuesday game, they needed much more help. Its just a week ago these ppl were going gaga over Indian victory and now the title comes "Can't bat/bowl/field". I can guess the next game's headlines "..........but India can still Win."

Very good. We are very reactive to Indian teams performance. In the very next match if some one clicks we will go gaga over the person and make project a larger than life image.
Dear all, All of us are cricket fans and wellwishers of Indian cricket. Rather than criticising let us offer concrete solutions to "help" the team. 1. Divide all cricket countries in 2 categories. 2. Category A - India , Kenya, Canada, Ireland,Scotland,Holland,Zimbabwe,etc. 3. Category B - Australia, England,West Indies, NZealand,Pak,Bangladesh S.Africa&SLanka 4. Any new country joining cricket will go to category A. 5. Category A and B will not play each other but within themselves. 6. There will be two separate World Cups for each category. 7. This way we will be facing only Kenya, Scotland, Canada,Ireland,etc. 8. This way we can KEEP WINNING EVERY WORLD CUP. 9. This way Sachin and company can keep bashing all the bowlers and inflate their batting averages. 10. All of us can be happy and continue to sponsor the products endorsed by these cricketers. 11. Such endorsements are good for the cricketers as they can continue to earn the Rs. 30 crore per annum contracts with media.

Well said,
Soon, India might need a third category, as Kenya, Canada, etc., can improve their game in next 3 to 4 years, but our players are busy in endorsements..so no time for practice...
