I just don't know what was robin doing in 11 when you have seen dinesh scoring runs and playing so well. There was not at all any problems in opening the innings by Ganguly and sehwag. Patan did not played any match, it was all bull shit.You people played with the loosing team n spirit.
Ganguly should be the captain as not only he is the lucky one but only under his captaincy INDIA could win. Dravid is a good batsman but we all know that a good captain can be a good batsman but a good batsman may not be a good captain.
I think captain has many responsibilities. Like u can see Dhoni failure in first two matches instead of him Dinesh Karthick gets chance in the same way Kumble can replace harbhajan and Irfan Pathan replace Agarkar. By doing this way the batting order gets depth
Every one has his own importance in winning the game. why was team give in the hands of coach? It is not right saying the players did not play well. It is better I say is "The players were not guided well". My justification for this is every player who played was in a good form and now the question arises "Why did'nt anyone like to play the match?" . Being a captain is not like just coming to the press and saying "Unfortunately the boys failed to do well and we lost....". If u were to depend on fortune Mr. Rahul then why the hell are you there as the captain. You should be better in the saints speaking about the fortune. And i can t understand one thing to this day is "What teh hell happened to you and why is coach speaking all about the team india's loss, Does the captain know any thing about the team's performance, if he knows why is he sitting like a WIDOW.
One can figure out why Great Players put together cannot make great Indian team. The team is rightly called Blues because of the erratic behaviour of our players. We have great statistics but none except a couple of players are match winners. This shows that players are playing not for their country but for money and only money. When Mr Sehwag failed miserably in the past, why was he taken to Carribeans. Is it a pleasure trip. If you wanted him on the tour you could have taken him as guest and not as a player. I think each participating member could have contributed towards carrying expenses of the excess baggage. Ganguly played well except for the last match where the catch taken by Murali was exceptional. You have left players like Romesh Pawar and company to play domestic cricket. This should have been for Sehwag. Mr 10 Dulkar has once again proved that he is beyond any ones control. He will play only if he is in a mood that morning or will return to stands to listen to Dire Straits and leave the team in dire straits. Not denying the fact that you people have so much for cricket, but I think its going too far. Please give chance to the players who are in form. You people have served long for the country and in the end you have served Bangladesh. Bnagladesh as a team has plyed tremendously well. God save us from the day when China, Russia, Japan, France, Germany and USA start participating in the World Cup. With this pool of talent we will be out in the World Cup Qualifiers, not to talk about the Finale.

he is the worst captain i have ever seen..... he was not able to defend 192 vs bangladesh which is not a bad total on a bowler friendly pitch..........
I feel this is a great lesson on arrogance of Indian cricket board and players.
Ganguly became arrogant, and dropped, and he came flying down to the ground, and back he is.
I have noticed Rahul also doing the same arrogance, but in a subtle manner. And if it is not arrogance, then it is foolishness on his part, to have a 11 which has no teeth. Player Agarkar and Shewag was the biggest mistake. The record of winning with 4 fast bolwers, when Saurav was captain is unmatched. Hence, Pathan and Sreeshanth would have been good. Playing an unintelligent player like Harbajan, was another mistake. You need to have intelligent spinner. Kumble may not be the greatest spinner, but atleast he is intelligent. Somehow I am not confident on Robin Uthappa. The right combination would have been Dhoni and Ganguly, is you bat first. Ganguly and Tendulkar if you bat second. I really fail to understand, why the Indian team management is skeptical of opening with two best openers we ever had. Take note of Australia - Hayden & Gilchrist, a regular combination and one of the best bats. I think, the first and foremost, build up your mental strength, and make yourself available for the occassion. General Indian citizen are escapist to problem. Similarly out opening partnership.
Another suggestion, every Indian A team player should play atleast 2 years in English / Australian county. Indian domestic cricket is stupid calibration point, and as good as Bangaladesh domestic cricket. Now, we cant even claim that.
Coming to coach, need to be changed. I somehow feel either he is not assetive. When he was assetive at the beginning, and axed Ganguly everyone protested. So he may have gone back on his assertive attitude. Greg always had been, when he was captain in Australia also. Secondly, he is planning seems to me not as per the present day cricketing excellance.I will rather prefer Tom Moody / Dave Whatmore who works on the strategy more. Coach is there to make the strategy, rectify faults in team individuals, improve skill sets with help of others, draw out plan for individual development, help in collective thinking. He is not there to give catching practise.
