The team is correct but if Uttappa is included in your team instead of Dinesh Karthik and if he stayed their for atleast 15 overs then the match will be in our way. If he does not stay at the wicket then your team is exactly correct. India should play exactly cool. And sehwag should not go for shots for every ball and should play cool.

Net run rate is not at all a problem for us. India just need to win (no need for a high margin). If India wins agains SL we are into Super 8. I did a simple estimate that if BD score 300 against Bermuda and Bermuda is 50 all out, still the NRR of BD will be 0.34.
So, the good news is, India should focus only to win against SL without worrying too much about NRR.

here is the detail description about NRR. Good news is, we just need to win against SL. Run rate is not at all a problem even when BD win against Bermuda by 250 runs margin.

The praise reaped on Ganguly is often disproportionate to his performance. You Bengalis must learn to talk good about other players too along with Ganguly. Please give up the myth that Ganguly is the lone saviour of the Indian team. Do you find Maharastrians on this forum talking only about Sachin? Do Punjabi's harp only about Harbhajan?

Fans are full of praise for the entire team when it clicks. The praise reaped on Ganguly is often disproportionate to his performance. - Not agreed. Ganguly change the complexion of the team and the game the moment he was reinducted. He performed consistently after that. You Bengalis must learn to talk good about other players too along with Ganguly. - Yes of course when they play well. Please give up the myth that Ganguly is the lone saviour of the Indian team. - Facts prove the myth. You can not change that. Do you find Maharastrians on this forum talking only about Sachin? - Definitely some guys do so. Do Punjabi's harp only about Harbhajan? - Punjab is normally donot harp much about anybody. there is no harm if they encourage Harbhajan when he plays well. Do Delhi-ites talk good only about Sehwag? Untill the last performance Sehwag did not allow anybody except Rahul to talk good of him. Do Keralites good talk only Sreesanth? -Allow Sreesanth some more time to settle and drop him unceremoniously and then see what happens. Why do Bengalis only find Ganguly praisworthy? - Wrong!!! The whole of India barring a few like you praise Ganguly as the determination and grit personified as well as the livewire leader of resurgence of Indian cricket after Kapil Dev. As long as you continue to continue sole worship of Ganguly, you will continue to receive sharp reactions. - We wont mind. No Ganguly fans will mind whether he is a Bengali or not.
Thanks for your nice comments on Bengalis as long as you are posting in a decent way as you have done here, but any abuse and see what happens. Ganguly fans all over from all provinces and languages know what they are doing and they donot care for your uncalled for and unnecessary comments. Whtever you do you can not drop Ganguly till he plays well. So go on biting your hands till that time in frustration. If however your comments are read by any Ganguly fan who is not a Bengali, I expect sharpcomments from him against your attempts to regionalise Ganguly or Ganguly fans.

No way they can give it to Ganguly now!. Team meetings Greg or someone needs to bring up these points and for Dravid to start beleiving in the following: 1)Agarkar is useless against any team 2)Put faith in Pathan, for he cant do much worse than Agarkar, even at his worst!! 3)Treat Sehwag as a regular Bowler. He is the Harbhajan for us if bajji is not playing. 4)Think about playing Kumble& Harbhajan both along with Zahir,Munaf,Pathan. (If Pathan scr*ws up, relaize it within 2 overs and use Ganguly to fill-in 2-4 overs of medium pace & use part-time spinners for remaining) 5)Give the field Kumble wants. If ur playing certain bowlers trust them fully! 6)Open with Tendulkar, Sehwag at no.3. 7)Use Karthik in the field as much as possible(just let one player be off the field all the time, there is plenty of bad fielders to pick)

No Way. Inida shouldnt panic and change much. All they have to do is play with purpose. pathan is way out of form and to throw him to such pressure is needless and would be fruitless. Every thing is should eb the same but just play with full force and get the job done. Field first, yes!
If India really wants to win the match against Srilank, our bowlers should bowl as many yorkers to the batsman. Any short pitched or raising delivery to Srilankan batsman will be hammered. One can watch the difference between Agarkar and Zaheer. While Zaheer is attacking the stumps regularly, Agarkar is bent upon pitching it short to the batsman, inviting him to go for a kill. With Sanath, don't ever adopt this strategy. Our players should watch the videos of earlier games played. Dhoni requires lot of improvement. Don't expect cameraman to be around to take snaps. The catch that he dropped and the way he batted against B.desh has really put us to a horrible situation. Our prayers and wishes are always there. Play Play and Play successfully

In the match against Bangladesh Dravid did not use his spinners cleaverly. He should have brought Schewag early and used Tendulkar and Yuvraj more effectively. Munaf should be given new ball as he is more consistent. He should consult with seniors like Tendulkar, Ganguly and Kumble.

by KSatish on Mar 21, 2007 07:52 PM Permalink
I completly agree with you. Dravid is the sole person I blame for the defeat for the fact that even 191 was enough for us to defend by playing smart. Dravid frose to the situation which was criminal of him. He should have got some case studies done to avoid such situation. Slow bowlers at the time were the answer but he kept going for pace and also didnt respect the opponents enough.
Very simple "which ever team plays better will win matches"
Today LANKA will beat B'desh and will enter super 8
Next INDIA will beat Sri lanka to enter Super 8. If INdia loses to Lanka then they have to wait match between Bermuda AND B'desh , B'desh likely to win against Bermuda. But in game of cricket we can't say anything can happen. INDIA have to wait till 23rd for their entry in to super 8
