If they resign ... new players will get chance to get selected & after few years of playing internationaly we might win the world cup ........ with all these paper tigers we do not stand a chance at all.
THEY WERE TOOK THERE JUST FOR A TOUR OR FOR HOLIDAY, OUR SELECTION COMMITTE HAD FIXED THE MATCHES I THINK SO, ITS ALL ABOUT FIXING THATS ALL AND NOTHING ELSE
ALL MATCHES WERE FIXED AND THSES FOOLISH CRICKETERS OF INDIA HAD MADE MONEY BY LOOSING THESE,
ONE MORE REASON, THEY WERE AFRAID TO PLAY 3 ROUND MATCHES, THAN 6 MATCHES IN SUOER 8, THAN IF QUALIFIED FOR SEMIS AND FOR FINALS, THAT MEANS INDIA WOULD HAVE TO PLAY 11 MATCHES TILL GETTING ON WITH FINALS, AND MAY BE INDIAN TEAM DIDNT GOT THAT MUCH MONEY TO PLAY TILL FINALS MAY BE I M RIGHT ISNT IT INDIANS

Robin Uthappa-1/10 -was hyped as a replacement for Sehwag. proved it by getting out like him. didnt do anything of note even against minnows Saurav Ganguly-5/10-played well but not upto his potential. failed in crunch game Virender Sehwag-4/10-Started to look like he was coming to form till stupidly gave his wicket in crunch situation as usual Sachin Tendulkar-0/10-failed miserably against banglas and Sri Lanka, Innings against bermuda doesnt count if we consider him a great batsmen Rahul Dravid-5/10- played well in crunch game but was poor in 1st match, not an inspiring captain must have felt frustrated at failures of top batsmen Yuvraj Singh-4/10-played well in 2 matches but out at crucial times in 1st and last match. should learn to carry the innings with more responsibility Dhoni-0/10-Failed miserably against all, though everyone thought the boundaries will be to his liking Agarkar-3/10-why is he in the team when Pathan can bat better and can bowl well if he bowls within himself Harbhajan Singh-3/10-in the team to take wickets and tie up one end neither of which he could achieve Zaheer Khan-5/10-bowled well in patches but what happened to his batting. was known to be able to hit the ball a long way and defend for hours to give support to other batsmen Munaf Patel-5/10-bowled well in patches but not at his fastest Kumble-5/10-difficult to say anything based on performance against bermuda as even our batsmen were made to look world class against them when in reality they were not upto scratch Greg Chappell-0/10-couldnt motivate the team, why did he insist on playing tendulkar down the order when he plays best as opener.took Indian team from bad to worse, couldnt come up with any ideas regarding team composition and strategy .failed as a coach as compared to tom mody who had similar resources as chappel. seems to have demotivated the players rather than motivate them
i think the only way to bring back INDIAN cricket back on track is to add a clause a rule in the code of INDIAN cricket that the players are not allowed to do any advertisements. they r popular because of cricket and not because of advertisement. its shame on the team that they have let down the hopes of millions of INDIANS.
I have gone through most of the messages, but nobody is writing anything about the contribution of sachin tendulkar. I think he was one of the main reasons for india's debacle. He performs only against weak opposition, and even if he performs well against a better side, it would be on indian pitches and in inconsequential matches. By better side I mean sri lanka or west indies. Against Australia and South Africa, he fails miserably and against them he is not able to perform on indian pitches also. To prove my point, Sachin's performance against Australia in the knock out match in the recent ICC Champions trophy. In Crucial matches he always fails. His body language is there to see in crucial matches. Against a good bowling and fielding side he never performs. Most of his centuries are against weaker sides or on indian pitches or in inconsequential matches. I can go on this topic, because I am an avid cricket fan and have been watching cricket for more than 25 years. I think Gavaskar, Shastri, Harsha Bogle and most TV commentators are responsible for hyping him so much. He is not that great as he is made out to be. Even in the print media nobody writes anything against him. He is not been performing against good teams and in crucial matches for more than 10 years now. He was good around 10 to 12 years back. He should retire by himself or the board should tell clearly about this.

I totally agree with you ... Most Indians think that Sachin is God re-incarnated. But even then for those people who still want to hold on to His Holiness Sachin may please create an idol of him & worship at home. For the betterment of our performance in the next world cup he has to retire either by grace or force. If past performance is the criteria to keep him in team then kindly reappoint Kapil, Sunil, Vengsarkar & the others also
why everthing is on coach, well its the players who play the games not coach, its the selectors who decided to take old players not coach, its the indian managment who delivered the advertise for the players to make money and dont play the game, what did these bloody players lost nothing, we indian not these foolish player have lost our proud with our nation, they play for money just money and their names to come in record books, why was kumble that old man been selected, zaheer who made us lost in the finals why he was there. why didnt rahul dravid select pathan and sreesanth to sir lanka match, why, r any answers for these, i had mailed to espnstar about these questions they also didnt cared to answer back, our media is very bad for all these publicity of indian players, they won warm up match against holland, media took it over the sky limit, well winning angainst minows is too much for indian players than please sachin dravid u all play against minows u will win everytime and records will be in ur name i m sure u will never loss and we will be happy nothing else
I request the lovers to welcome the Great team with garlands and flowers. Should Gandhigiri work on these? And every one should get excited on the defeat, when they don't put their efforts and no luck favoured them. Who can put efforts, they should win. Send the whole new team, else, India will forget cricket.
