If players like sehwaag, Robin are playing at one end U got to give as many as much strike as possible to them, otherwise they cant score at all. If you play first 4 balls of an over and give strike to them on 5th ball what can they do other than trying for big shots. And that is what dada did. If u dont agree with me see world cup matches once more and then only comment if U R against me. So Dada played for himself. Sorry dada, U R chatur(smart) dada.

This was nothing but a TIT FOR TAT he gave to chappell and dravid.. thats it.. He shud be the first happy man for india failing so badly without his captaincy
Bongs have nothing to do with cricket actually !!! They are just concerned about ganguly ganguly and ganguly. Remember India vs S. Africa ??? "No saourav no Cricket" is what they said!! Which goes on to prove they care a damn about country or cricket. Their motto is "let country (India)go to hell" !!! Long live Bonglodesh, west bongol and ganguly rules !!

I agree with you Ravi. Not all but most of the Bongs behave like selfish pigs. I have some friends who are really nice and they themselves get pissed off by such people in their community. When are these Bengalis going to be Indians ? They behave like an independent province that has been forcibly occupied by the Indian nation. All that matters is a Bengali should be given an undue status -- if not they start pelting stones at govt. properties. To be honest, Ganguly has not scored a single century after his arrival -- so what is this bro-ha-ha about -- as if he has broken Don Bradman's record ? I think Kolkattan's should have reprimanded him for not bringing the World Cup home -- but alas .... they have the mentality of tribals wherein all that matters is the man from their state to excel. The problem is, this mentality seems to be spreading all over India where everyone is expecting their state's person to be considered whether it is politics, cricket or even a business contract. These people seem to redefine India as a loose collection of unrelated identities totally hostile to each others progress or development --- Warm Regards, Addy

Its "indians" like u who make inflamatory remarks....whn ganguly had the spat with chappel all bongs were regularly derided...no one saw it that a foreigner was breaking up the team spirit...his credentials as coach is also limited...ganguly's main strength as captain was that we did not see 6 bangal players in the team....the reception to ganguly was firstly not warm..it was just not hostile..so before commenting check the facts...maybe being at airports help....and dont just maginalise bongs..u guys are no good --- a regional langauage is promoted as national---this happens...so next time u talk of indianness look within...

You forgot to mention that they are also the laziest people in the whole world, but, harbour an ego which is as big as Bay of Bengal.
Rest of India should not be giving them too much importance. They are very sparsely represented in the Indian armed forces which means they care a damn about India. They don't have the leadership qualities - see all the companies with Bengalis at helm going into red. Very very parochial - will always prefer a mediocre Bengali from godforsaken WB university than a brilliant candidate. Feel very close to Muslims and Bangladeshis. And the high point in their life is going to UK, secretly harbouring a wish that the British come back to rule India.

It is true that Indian Cricket Team was defeated very badly by countries like Srilanka and Bangladesh. But the responsibility should be taken by the whole BCCI under which the players come. If persons like Sharad Pawar, Lalu Yadav, Arun Jaitly, Rajeev Shukla hold positition in BCCI instead of any person related to cricket then result like this cannot be ignored. So, it is a wake-up call for Indian Fans to see such type of bad politics be avoided. And the whole system needs to changed from the top to bottom instead of axing few player or coaches.

Dude all have got their share of money from different sources, better we do not talk much about these unless we ourselves ar eplanning to go and clean the system. And not to wonder these people whom you listed would get 10 times more than what each players have got!! as You said its wake up call for all!!
Yeah definitely there is no words to describe the indian cricket players and selectors also, after kicked out from world cup, everybody was expecting their retirements, but still they will never ever realise because they need money, if they are not there in the team its very difficult to get money in various ways, thats what probably they will never ever retire themselves unless until somebody kicks or kills...... they know if they dont play well also they will make money in crores at the same time if they are in the team...really seniors should have announced their retirements in caribean place only.... they want their wives and families should be fine, they will never ever think about nation or country or fans....now everybody made enough money and started their own businesses also, then why should they bother about cricket???? they will always bother about their businesses and money,, any how ther are getting their money... correct....

Yes ofcourse, at the begining the entire BCCI SHOULD KICKEDOUT. Person like sarad pawar, even he don't know what is cricket. Inspite it is a real fact he is the supremo of BCCI. He is a simple actor in BCCI. What Dungarpur, Modi & Bindra wants pawat act accordingly.Thats why the pathitic scenerio of INDIAN CRICKET. BCCI requires a dristic change. Power should resigned immediately, along with dravid & chappal. The BCCI should accompany with the following strong & characteritic persons: 1) M.Amarnath. 2) Navjot sidhu 3) Ashok Malhotra 4) Arun Lal 5) Atul Wasan 6) Mansur Ali Pataudi 7) K. Srikanth 8) Kapil Dev

yeah, afterall 'BANGLA'desh defeated "rest of india" . Ganguly has to be welcomed in "BANGLA' land. Afterall laying a foundation worthy of a snail must have benefited your 'BANGLA' land. Glory to Bangla. Let two Bengalis merge. He could be a captain material in the merged BANGLA land.

I am sorry, did you say too many balls .. if you get the facts right you will see that except the bermuda match, india did not complete its entire quota of 50 overs. His slowness atleast got some runs .. else we could have been all out well before the 35th over .. Venky

Since his come back he is playing well in all the innings except the last one against Lanka and that catch by Muralidharan was also extraordinary and unexpected.
