Guys our team cannot win the coming world cups and we know that. This is the TRUTH which we have to understand.
Reasons: Lack of Professionalism. Having poltical players in team(Saurav Ganguly). Different cultures(does matter). No fast bowler. Dump pitches. High media pressure. Mouth watering income from Ads. Playing for their personal records(Sachin). Unnecessary Stardom for useless players(Sehwag). Arogance. Lack of team sprit. And many more......
Still you are hoping ...than Bhagwaan aapkaa bhalaa kare.

ganguly is major culpirt in WC debacle. he is selfish, oppertuinist and politician when sachin was captain ganguly gang did perform well team lost and sacchin forced to resign and ganguly gained captaincy Dravid anchoed the success of ganguly as captain but ganguly backstabbed dravid during WC matches ganguly used dalmiay as godfather to stick captaincy even though he did not deserve XII man in team for his poor form and pathatic batting but ganguly ditched dalmiay when dalmiya lost power ganguly cheap politician, promote groupism, and spoil the sportspirit of youngesters by encourging them play dirty politics.He always scored runs for self, saving his wkt to cement his place in team but cost more runs to team helped opposition to win by his loose fielding , not taking singles and poor fielding ganguly shoul be sacked out of team
team did not win all matches when gangly was captian. team had lost in 1st round in champions trophy in 2004 in england and all out for lowest score 56 all out against kiwis. ganguly is not supporting dravid or team when sachin captain ganguly did same thing with ajay jadeja and other senior players. team lost and sachin forced to resign. now ganguly is doing same thing. He will score runs but make sure team will be defeated...to prove dravid not good captain and his record of captancy succes won't harm. but sachin and dravid gave 100% commitment when ganguly was captian. take out ut sachin and dravid's contributions ganguly success will be lowest. Except Ausses no other team won consistantly... all the teams have ups and downs but team won test and odis under dravid captaicy withoout ganguly. dravid is better captain than ganguly. b'cuz captaincy pressure did not afftect his batting.

Dravid is a good captain. Unlike previos captainsr he doesn't play dirty politics. Only thing is he does have some head high players in his team by virtue of their god fathers in the team. He needs to take some tough decisions and start from scratch. Unlike ganguly who took the credit fo victory as captain, dravid shaed the credit wit his teammates. And while ganguly was flameboyuant and used media to highlight self image, dravid was infront of media only on oficical press briefs.. winning and defeat depands on performance of XI players irrepective of coach, captain, players, age, ptich conditions, stretagy.. Bangladesh win against india and SA is best example for that SL is playing superb cricket None of senior player /ex captain m envied mahila%u2019s his promotion as captain From the outset they gave unstinting support. they remained hungry to perform and did not rely on reputation or popular support to protect their places. jayasurya, vaas, sangakara, attapuut all are supporting mahila. SL played as one unit and won games all players performed for team cause. team india lost and early exit from WC b'cuz senior palyers failed to perform when mattered. lack of commitment, passion to perform / win, playing for self records, sponsers, promote groupism many players think they are superstars and not to led by skipper. when palyers becomes politicians team has not chance to win. senior players let down team and major role in early exit of WC ppl blame ccaptain for team ind wC early exit ry easy to blame captain, What about other 10 players playerss the lack of commtiment , lack of passion to win/perform, , poor body languge or groupism or petty politics played against captain and coach spending time in crease for sponsers cause, playing for self records, many players think they are leaders and not to led by skipper, superstar attitude .. dravid played under sachin and ganguly captaincy and gave 100 % commited performance but trusted same from senior players and backfired by senior players and so called super stars. matching orders of team india http://worldcup.indiatimes.com/quickiearticleshow/msid-1807342.cms The real culprits by S Rajesh http://contentgulf.cricinfo.com/india/content/current/story/288746.html

dravid captaincy is good like ganguly's it is senior players did not support him druing WC read article in cricinfo By S rajesh see the analysis of batsman. it is not bolwers or captain batsman failed to deliver when team required. many players like ganguly, sachin harbajan, zahir undermine dravid's captaincy. ganguly batting only for self he socred runs consistantly but never tried to accelerate run rate or rotate strike always savinghis wkt if team win or loss did not matter he scored runs but he gave more runs to opposition b'cuz of poor fielding. cost team some more runs of poor running between wkt. and sachin being VC failed with bat. Body language of 2 ex captains in 3 matches as if they were playing a practice match. Harbajan never bolwed to his natural stength. b'cuz he thought his cpatian is ganguly but herbajan latest achievement is that he was informed by ICC twice by his wrong action. dhoni is failed in WI and SA he scored runs only in dead ptices of subcontinent. Dinesh karthck is better than dhoni he opened innings and won 20 -20 match in SA . can bat any no.... and since munaf was in playig XI, dravid couldnot play sreesant. After sachin's return from injury from during DLF cup onwards, sachin was doing bowling 6-8 overs regularly and there is no place for 5th bowler. Cheif selector insistied that shachin is also used as bowler. till the DLF cup team won many odis and test without gangulys and tendulkars. stat proved dravid is doing equally good job in a short period of time.Same SL team was beat in india under dravid's captaincy 6-1 without ganguly in team. who told zahir khan to bowl to so many wide and loose balls in crucial matches? He abused sreesant ,If senior players are deliberatly irrospinsible why blaem captain many players do not want to sit in dressing even if out of form.. selection is influenced by some senior players. If sachin insisted agarkar If players had problem with chappell or dravid they should have approched the BCCI rather than calling shots from back stage. both ganguly and sachin are in race for captaincy now, defeat in WC is deliberate attempt to prove dravid not a good captain and ganguly's record as WC captain did not harm. Dravid gave 100 % commitment when he played under ganguly and sachin and he trusted senior players but ditched by superstars.. the odi winning diff is only 1% when compared dravid's succes ( not even 2yrs) with ganguly's success of 5 yrs. Even when ganguly was captain team lost in 1st WC during champions trophy in england 2004 team did win all matches under ganguly 's captaicny he had also many humiliated defeats agaisnt kiwis, aussies, pakistan, WI and team ind did not beat/win SA in SA that did not happened during ganguly's captaincy also under ganguly captaincy team ind played 9 traingular series only 2 won and 5 lost and 2 drawn and team played only in dlf cup and lost it under dravid's captaincy team had many humiliated defeat when ganguly was captain. Except Aus no other team has consistancy in winning. Overall, dravid is doing a better job as captain than ganguly and his batting did not afface by captaincy, while ganguly was non performing captain inlate 2-3 yrs of his captiancy. but survived b'cuz of dalmialys' influence.

Dropping of Sachin and Saurav will be good for future Indian One Day Team. Good that the selectors did not come under the pressure of their past one day records!
Sachin and Saurav's past records are their individual achievements. They can decorate and keep them in their drawing rooms. Their record did no good for the country in 2007 world cup. It did not win any matches for the country. On the contrary, it gave the international community a reason to poke fun at our country.
We respect Sachin and Saurav for the joy they gave us untill 3 years ago. That does not mean we should be taken as granted.

The way Sachin is playing, he is setting very bad example for the Junior player. Sachin is enjoying such a glorification that he is almost a god. Now when he struggle to face normal bowlers, the other batsman in Indian camp assume that becuse even Great Sachin is struggling it must be dead difficult. Even they get into defensive and cautious mode. This way a struggling Sachin is digging hole for the whole team. Despite he failing so misreably and as result the team flopping so many times, he enjoys big fan club. Lets accept that Sachin is no more as younger and he does not look like a sportsman, instead he appears more of a businessman. If you think I am wrong please compare his fitness and even his current physic to an Australian, New Zealander, West Indian, English, Bangaldeshi, Pakistani players baring Inzy. That is why he struggles against all these teams.

Dravid as a captain is good...but he is not getting any support from other players because they all are influenced by Political Sorav Ganguly. He wants India to let down so that he will become a captain again. He is that kind of player who plays only for himself.

While India's players blame their recent poor form on e coach to a sense of insecurity to captain, the plain truth is this: When it really mattered, India's batsmen failed to deliver.

Sachin may be living legend but he is no more bigger than team or game 48% voters is voted dravid to be captain by big margin. www.cricketvotes.com Very easy to blame captain, What about other 10 players players%u2019s the lack of commtiment , lack of passion to win/perform, , poor body languge or groupism or petty politics played against captain and coach spending time in crease for sponsers cause, playing for self records, many players think they are leaders and not to led by skipper, superstar attitude .. lankans are playing as one unit and no players are backfiring captain...

Suman Bhat is sickheaded, she doesn't understand anything about cricket except Dravid. she has abused "each and every" cricketer in this forum except Dravid. I also don't like regional biasness or parochialism but this message (from suman Bhat) reveals how much narrow minded she is. I am a bengali (my name also suggest so) but i know that development of India can occur only when all states will work together not only bengal or karnataka or anything else. u may not know but the biggest fan club in kolkata was of Sachin tendulkar then Rahul Dravid then Saurav ganguly. yes believe it , I stay in kolkata and i know it is correct that saurav was rated third in fan numbers ( check out any bengali news channel) but sachin fan no. were way ahead of these 2. It is only after that chappel Dravid ganguly issue that made bengal sensitive for anything towards saurav (though sachin still maintains the biggest fan club in bengal), now those who were never ever involved with any kind of cricket says saurav shud be in the team ...injustice was done to him...and bla bla bla. And FYI i am also not a great fan of Saurav as much as I am of Sachin and of Dravid as a player. But I must say that Dravid is not as potent as saurav as a captain. may be it is motivation or skill or management or intelligence or agression or body language whatever it is (i don't know as i am not a cricket expert) but Dravid surely lacks something. This is not a dravid hate message or sachin saurav praise message, but look at it practically, after all we see the results and that also good results not failures.

success of a captain depends upon how he can take out the best from his players. captain can't sit in the dressing room thinking ....ok ,I scored a century doesn't matter what others do !! This not captaincy. when the team got devided into 14:1 what was he doing then, doesn't he know that this way is the last way a team can win ??? or he was more interested in his "yes sir" image ??? it is not about mumbaikars kannadas or bengalis. it's about India, Indians and Indian cricketers. U r an NRI , so i am guessing u must be an educated one, this kind of parochialism is not expected at least from the educated class .
thanks, i agree with Sharad there is too much parochialisnm and hatred in this forum, better i shud stay away from it. Bye.

Dear Anindya, I need not to confirm from anyone, I have couple of very good bengali friends and we discuss every issue without any bias!!!
I am worried about the declining standard of this forum thats why I use such hard words, how many have written a single message with the injustice with Mr Ranadev Bose, he is the top performer in domestic cricket and why he was not selected without any reason, He will be selected at 29 years of age and after 1 - 2 matches he will be shown the door that u r not competent enough to perform at international level....

I completely agree with u Sharad,
standards will only decline if u vomit hatred here !!! forget about ranadeb bose there are several players from many part of the states who have been deprived.being a bengali, I know ranadeb has been ignored that also wrongly, in the same regard I have seen both shibshankar and ranadeb bowling together, they as a pair is marvellous, and bengal's recent success is just based on these 2 players and tiwari and jhunjhunwala. but i don't know much about other states except a few, they too have some good players also. but as u know everybody cannot be included and i think Ranadeb's age is his biggest enemy now. But he can be the McGrath of India with his immaculate line & length, he just don't know how to bowl a "no ball" !! It just proves his discipline and effort. He is consistent and a proven player in each form of the game.

look media has to sell their reports, u and I will buy them, and will argue about each other . what will happen, will our life change ?? no will anybody's life change ?? ans is no. this forum is there now u and i visit it at least 5 times a day, don't know about u but I do. so putting controversial news can increase viewers as well ad money. So , that is what they r doing here and everywhere , media blames somebody as well as hail somebody to sell it's news . see that line u still remember "Is this war dravid vs ganguly?? " that means u got the news, it is journalism which nothing but to make a fool of u and me.

whatever ur suggestions keep it urself and pass it ganguly fans who posting some rubbish msgs. stat tell dravid is doing equally good job and he is leading team from only last 20 months. so whatever ganguly achieved in 5 yrs can not be achieved in less than 2 yers irrespective who is leadung team ganguly's success is b'cuz of hardwork/performance of sachin,dravid laxman, sewag, srinath. these players were in good form and gave their heart. But dravid did not get same support from these senior players this one whole country is talking about not only bangalorians. For ur kind info whole country watched how dravid and team humiliated during SA odi match in kolkata. but in ganguly played test in Blr against pakistan as if he was playing for pakistan in ind uniform. But nobody has insulted ganguly. u guys forgot dravid laxman historic innings against Ausses in kolkata, or dravid' 2 100s in on tests in Eden gardens. take out dravid's contributions for ganguly's success as captain, see the stat that ganguly will have average lower than sachins.. infact ganguly promoted players who were fitted in his group, laxman and kumble were thrown out odis b'cuz both were not fitted in ganguly's good books. Since ganguly had support of dlamaiy players were selected as per ganguly wish during ganguly's captaincy..

dravid captaincy is good like ganguly's it is senior players did not support him druing WC read article in cricinfo By S rajesh see the analysis of batsman. it is not bolwers or captain batsman failed to deliver when team required. many players like ganguly, sachin harbajan, zahir undermine dravid's captaincy. ganguly batting only for self he socred runs consistantly but never tried to accelerate run rate or rotate strike always savinghis wkt if team win or loss did not matter he scored runs but he gave more runs to opposition b'cuz of poor fielding. cost team some more runs of poor running between wkt. and sachin being VC failed with bat. Body language of 2 ex captains in 3 matches as if they were playing a practice match. Harbajan never bolwed to his natural stength. b'cuz he thought his cpatian is ganguly but herbajan latest achievement is that he was informed by ICC twice by his wrong action. dhoni is failed in WI and SA he scored runs only in dead ptices of subcontinent. Dinesh karthck is better than dhoni he opened innings and won 20 -20 match in SA . can bat any no.... and since munaf was in playig XI, dravid couldnot play sreesant. After sachin's return from injury from during DLF cup onwards, sachin was doing bowling 6-8 overs regularly and there is no place for 5th bowler. Cheif selector insistied that shachin is also used as bowler. till the DLF cup team won many odis and test without gangulys and tendulkars. stat proved dravid is doing equally good job in a short period of time.Same SL team was beat in india under dravid's captaincy 6-1 without ganguly in team. who told zahir khan to bowl to so many wide and loose balls in crucial matches? He abused sreesant ,If senior players are deliberatly irrospinsible why blaem captain many players do not want to sit in dressing even if out of form.. selection is influenced by some senior players. If sachin insisted agarkar If players had problem with chappell or dravid they should have approched the BCCI rather than calling shots from back stage. both ganguly and sachin are in race for captaincy now, defeat in WC is deliberate attempt to prove dravid not a good captain and ganguly's record as WC captain did not harm. Dravid gave 100 % commitment when he played under ganguly and sachin and he trusted senior players but ditched by superstars.. the odi winning diff is only 1% when compared dravid's succes ( not even 2yrs) with ganguly's success of 5 yrs. Even when ganguly was captain team lost in 1st WC during champions trophy in england 2004 team did win all matches under ganguly 's captaicny he had also many humiliated defeats agaisnt kiwis, aussies, pakistan, WI and team ind did not beat/win SA in SA that did not happened during ganguly's captaincy also under ganguly captaincy team ind played 9 traingular series only 2 won and 5 lost and 2 drawn and team played only in dlf cup and lost it under dravid's captaincy team had many humiliated defeat when ganguly was captain. Except Aus no other team has consistancy in winning. Overall, dravid is doing a better job as captain than ganguly and his batting did not afface by captaincy, while ganguly was non performing captain inlate 2-3 yrs of his captiancy. but survived b'cuz of dalmialys' influence.

Very easy to blame captain, What about other 10 players players%u2019s the lack of commtiment , lack of passion to win/perform, , poor body languge or groupism or petty politics played against captain and coach spending time in crease for sponsers cause, playing for self records, many players think they are leaders and not to led by skipper, superstar attitude .. When a player is playing the biggest event of cricket , players should be hungry ot perform team india lost matches b'cuz batsman let down team.
..??? why ex cricketers and media is silent about other 14 players ??? HAd captain and coach told palyers not to take singles, poor fielding, drop catches, bowlers to bowl so many loose balls to give extras?? . Ganguly played for sponsers not for team If he was playing for team ganguly would not had thrown his wkt by playing silly shot in 42 over after wasting so many balls, ganguly played slowly b'cuz his sponsers wanted him to spend more time in crease. As per news report one of selector got the ad sponsers contract copy and there was diff among selectors to select ganguly for odi series against bangladesh? it was bold decision from board to drop ganguly and sachin It gives youngster a chance to think that if youngesters get out of team for any cause, it will be difficult to get entry to team b'cuz many new players are knocking the team indai's door. and there is healthy competition. team india future looks good. chapell hold mirror for dark side of ind cricket. he tried to push the players from comfort zone, treated all players alike and equal, and his alligation that sponsers play a role in team selection and stretgy is true and many players spend the time in crease as per sponser requirment / conditions marketing agents of players in collusion with media painted a larger than life picture of senior players and would have done behind the scenes harm to the younger players by manipulating media. todays DNA newspaper carried out report that some players have signed the ad commercials till 2010 and nobody in bcci has guts to speak against these players or put them out of team. All ex cricketers are blaming chappell nobody in bcci has guts to remove these players. Today's DNA newspaper carried out report that some star players who had major roel in WC debacle, had singed the ad commercials till 2010.. and these players will be in team and perform as per ad clause...chappell%u2019s alligantion that sponsers play an imp role in team stretagy / selection and also wants the batsman to spend more time in crease. Loss of Indian Team in WC is due to these egoistic rotten heads Many senior players will treat themselves as leaders not wanted to be led by leader. Its great tht even after handing over easy victory by Indian legends(sachin, viru, dhoni ganguly), dravid handed over a bat to Iqbal Tamim. This shows dravid is a true sportsman
