everybody knows the performance of so called TIGER---no of balls played and runs scored.then got out with his egoistic irresponsible approach when he was required to lead on pitch. he never was consistent---then u say he should be a captain--my foot---whosoever knows ABC of mafiafree cricket would never want dada yuvraj sachin to lead our country at all--only blind followers wish for their leadership--WAS DRAVID REQD TO TELL THEM TO STAY ON PITCH AND TRY TO WIN--JUST SEE THE WAY THEY GOT THEMSELVES OUT KNOWING WELL THE WAY JAYASURYA SANGAKARA GOT OUT --WE NEED AN HONEST PERSON LIKE DRAVID AND ANYOTHER MAY REPLACE HIM BUT NOT THESE RUFFIANS DISHONEST PLAYERS---LALITKUMAR
ONLY 1 player out of team of 15, gets a warm welcome - and this after such a disastrous showing in the WC...dare anyone call cricket is a team game!!
Folks - u, me and all of us are FIRST and FOREMOST -Bengalis/Malyalis/Maharashtrians/Tamilians/NorthIndians etc etc...AND THEN INDIANS...so pls. go ahead and savour your respective regional heroes!!!
Score 158/5 in 43.1 overs and the set batsman Yuvraj is out, Dhoni has just come to the crease and our Dada, who has played 128 balls for his 66, what does he do? Instead of trying to stay till the end, gets out to a spinner.
And he gets a warm welcome whereas the rest of the team is bashed everywhere else. It seems like fans of Ganguly are interested only in his performance and not in the Team India. I think Sourav deserves the same treatment as everyone else in the team. 66 in 129, what kind of a cricketer are you?

Others did not even play that! We need to admit the fact. We all shud admit that there was tremendous pressure.
I love the team even now. And if Ganguly gets a war welcome i can understand that. I wud have given a great welcome to everyone around from the team.
All our demigods or stars are Shameless and commercial mind cricketers!!!
I'm mentioning the stars are...Dada,Little Master,Viru,Bhajji,Zaheer etc..are very smart in last minute they showed their performance for their selfish needs (to earn money thro commercials and board money by getting place into worldcup squad). Shameless guys!
I dont know why these state people (Bengal,Maharashtra or other states) respect their heroes (Dada, Tendlya or others) when they are nothing compare to the emotions of indian fans. And moreover why do these pple chant hamara Dada or hamara tendlya (why u need to give respect to these shameless guys)...there are many players in India who are waiting to perform well to bring respect to the country. We, Indian fans are wasting our valueble time by worshipping these fools when they are least bothered about cricket and expects more money thro' all the ways. Hope all Indian Fans will forget about these idiots and concentrate on our valueble work.

Concentrating on the work is the BEST PHRASE i heard on this forum. But .... we all shud give everyone their due. They have represented India and they got to that stage by performing in the past and not just like that.

First Indian Govt. should sack the BCCI and select new board which is going to respect Indian Fans emotions by selecting good players and coach without regional bias and we hope no more Dada or Tendlya or Bhajji or Viru should be in the new team...these stars create more problems than creating a good team spirit.

You deserve to die, WC 2007 ganguly making 60 in 300 balls and getting applause for that? LOOKS STRANGE TO ME
People from the north, south, east and west say Saurav Ganguly is the best. This guy led Team India to heights the type of which we were unable to see in the last year and a half. Without him batsmen and bowlers were made to forget their batting and bowling skills and encouraged to climb rocks and stones and then rested on the bench or left at home. Trumpeting that the team has to move to the next level the guys at the helm could not take our talented team even past a modest Bangladesh. Best wishes to all the remaining participants in the world cup. For lovers of good positive cricket the ongoing world cup has still much to offer. Let us learn from other cricket playing nations what it means to coach, play, watch and enjoy good and healthy cricket. Long live Team India and its illustrious heroes who gave us some great moments to cherish in previous World Cup competitions.

we should not think always about the past. Think about now and future. Where is the WC now. It is not with Ganguly now. He came empty hand.
We the Indian fans should be ashamed of what we are doing. Before going to world cup we only raised them to height and when they lost the "game" we are now blaming them. I consider still this is the strongest cricketing side. These were the heroes who took our indian cricket to heights. And now when lost two games and when we are out of world cup,we all have started blaming them using harsh words etc. When this bad time comes we should be with them to encourage not simply blaming them....after all cricket is a game...anyone can loose and anyone can win.....If atleast any one agree with me pl reply.

I agree with you but there are countries like Australia who just keep on winning. That is the difference between us and them. We think we are masters if we are 50% good. As a nation we need to have loftier goals and achieve in my humble opinin.

Can you please refresh me to the heights that "these" cricketers took Indian cricket to?
What was the last tournament that we won? When did we win our last test series against a quality side? This may be the strongest indian team we can field but not strong enough to threaten the other teams.
The only point I can agree with you is our "celebrity losers" do not deserve to be abused, threatened, have effigies burned or their families terrorised....for it is only a game! Plus, it is a waste of our time and resources.
But they certainly deserve terse criticism for the way they played. It cannot be one-way traffic where they get praised for the good they do and never get criticised for the bad.

You are correct rahul. We are not ashamed of failure. But when failure come without trying anything, that's what we are ashamed off. Know india is think that anything above 300 is a defendable score. If they think like this, we cannot win anymatch.

I agree! Totally agree! They are doing the best. We have some entertainment. Lets jus see what others are doing to India: 1. Polticians - jus looting 2. Film Industry- sold out to the west and ruining Our culture. Promoting pornographic designs under the naem of fashion and latest design this is jus an eg. I dont have much time and so am closing hte list here.
