Sachin, Ganguly and Shewang are our star players. So, They must play when they are at the age of 50. No need to give chance to any youngesters. We do not need India win the match. We need our stars to play and make 50 runs from 150 balls. Bhaaagooo India, Bhaaagoooo.

I too agree with , we need star players in theteam whatever be the result we don't bother. I think these players play at the age of 100, so they make money,more records.
first of all ,sachin should look at his stats,avgs 15 against Aussies n SA since 2005.He should introspect n quit.Our senior players movements in the field was PATHETIC.Sure they had a hidden agenda against Chappel n Dravid

stupidity.. theat said coach did not bat and bowl well..
guys..I would like to know why the coach is given so much importance?..we don't even hear about any other coaches as we hear about our indian coach..I think we need to concentrate on the game rather than the coach and the players.bottom line is, its just a sport..

We talk, because the players talk all the time and do not deliver in the field.

I just want every one to add some more points so that we can send some recommendations to BBCI through Rediff.com.

Batsman
Score reviews
1. Every batsman is suppose to have a current batting average of above 45 runs.
2. The batting average has to be reviewed every series or every 5 one day matches if the any series has only 3 one day matches.
3. Constant track of the performance of each batsman and the performance review for every 5 games. (The batsman should get a chance to bat)
4. If Sachin Dravid Ganguly or any batsman in the team is not averaging 45 runs in the just completed series or last 5 matches, they need to be DROPPED regardless if he is senior junior member some wrong decision by the empire Captain Vice Captain or he might have scored a 100 in the last gave of the series and still averages below 45.
5. As long as our batsman are getting runs on the board and our bowlers are able to take 10 wickets a match there is no need of so called Capitan of the team who should be assured of the place as indicated by selectors.
6. Why should be a Capitan assured in the playing 11 when he is not performing . Capitans are not just to decide/ or take decision who is going to bowl when and when to go for power play, they are suppose to scores runs or bowl well as any other member in the team. You can see the stats of (Ponting (c) G Smith (c) S Fleming (c) M Jayawardene (c) ) in the http://www.itsmylinks.com/WORLD_CUP_2007_TOP_10_BATSMAN.html
All Rounders (AR)
Every AR need to have a minimum batting average of 35
Ever AR need to get a chance to bowl at least on AN AVRAGE of 5 OVERS per match in which he is suppose to take minimum of 1 wicket and his economy rate should be below 6 runs per over.
This has to strictly reviewed every 5 matches and then only give the TAG OF ALL ROUNDER if the player is constantly performing for two seasons ( 10 Matches).
Any AR who is dipping in his batting average and could not consistently perform should be dropped and provide opportunity for another player who can do a better job.
If you cant provide a chance to bowl on average of 5 overs per match to an AR then dont call him as an AR and dont select people under that category. It is an easy way to get into team and stay long time without performing.
Regular Bowlers:
Ever RB need to have bowling average below 30.
Ever RB need to have a bowling economy rate of below 5
RE:When will team India start scoring 275 runs and above consistently every match and when will they restrict the opponents for the less than the same total

looks good on the paper but boss i think u r just wasting ur precious time..get a job
Heroes must be respected, but please remember that these guys are playing at the topmost level and for the country.
The best 11 guys from the whole country should be in the team. Past history cannot gaurantee present and future results.
And please also understand that if a person has not been selected in the team, it doesnt mean that he has been disrespected. What it means is that the person is not in the top 11, and he can definitely make it again if he improves his performance.
In Australia this has happened so many times - big names include Michael Bevan, Mark WAugh, even Steve Waugh was under immense pressure till he retired; and maybe much more. But none of these guys carry grudges against their Boards, they have retired but they don't feel that they have been shown disrespect. They understand the fact that their performances were dipping, and they were up against a competition.
So if a person is not included in the team, it should be taken in the right way. Heavens won't fall if Sachin and Saurav are excluded and told to improve their performance.
As much as I am upset at TEAM INDIA's poor performance, I am even more shocked at the reactions and comments from supporters of Saurav Ganguly (almost all Bengalis).
They seemed to have forgotten that this is about TEAM INDIA and not MR. BENGAL. And how can they be completely blind to the poor performance of Saurav Ganguly over the years and the follies (politics) committed by him.
