Before I start .. first change the big name BCCI and make it something small like INDIA CRICKET or CRICKET INDIA ( All teams in World have small names for boards.. Ex: "Srilanka Cricket" , "Cricket Australia" etc... ). We are still living in olden days having big name like BCCI (so old fashioned).
1) Players above 30 years should not play at all. They cannot run fast between wickets after becoming father of children and all. They are no longer young and agile and they cany sprint on the field and run to save ball on the boundary also. Any player can play till his age is 29 yrs and 364 days only.
Youngsters should be always be given chance as they are young blood and have lot of enthusiasm and spirit to play for country.
Look at Bangladesh ( 3 Teenagers (17,. 18,19 years age) scored 50s against India)
There should be a rule that atleast 4 to 5 players in Indian team should be below 25 years of age at all times.
2) No Ads for cricketers. NO ADs at all. They get paid lakhs and lakhs of Rupees by Cricket Board and they are contracted by the board and receive monthly money also even if play match or not. ADs should not distract the players from the game. Atleast 100 days before World Cup , the cricket Board should ensure that players dont waste time on Ads. But after 30 years (after retirement they can do any number of Ads on TV or wherever they want).
3) Complete cricket board (100% of Board) should be made up of only Ex-cricketers (and cricket officials who understand INDIAN CRICKET and know the game fully). All people for all posts in the Board should be Ex-cricketers only and no politicians please.
4) No foreign coaches at all. They can't speak Hindi at all and they cannot understand Indian way of thinking and relate to Indian players. Greg Chappel can't speak Hindi to Sehwag and Sehwag cant speak English with Greg. So what communication can happen ? Also Greg is not an Indian and he wont bother or feel if India wins or loses. He is Australian. We need INDIAN EX-CRICKETER as our coach who understands Indian feelings and sentiment and who speaks Indian language and is an integral part of Team India.
KAPIL DEV won a World Cup for India in 1983. Did Greg Chappel win any World Cup for Australia anytime ? Then on what basis we can him as coach and not our own KAPIL PAAJEE who can speak nice Hindi also with all our players ?
5) Pay for performance. Indian cricketers should get paid as per their performance in Domestic level and similar rating system (as used by ICC to rate International cricketers) should help selectors choose only top 15 people who are currently rated high. No regionalism or politics. Only performance based selection.
6) Have more meditation classes and spiritual training for India rather than Army training so that players relax and also learn to focus ni tense situations and BIG crucial MUST WIN matches and learn to patiently take SINGLES (1s and 2s) and rotate strike and keep wickets for final assault , rather than play agricultural shots or meaningless lofted shots like gully cricketers (Only 4s or 6s are not needed always.. Patience and sticking to basics helps any team and Indian team also win.. which is what Srilanka did.. score 113 singles in between after loss of early wickets).
All we can do now is hope some of these steps (if not all) are implemented atleast for 2011 World Cup and pray India atleast goes to round-2 of 2011 WC.

I do not think Greg has anything to do with the loss. If we have an ex-cricketer, he is going to think the same way as our players and there is not going to be a change. Only a neutral / critic can improve the performance of our guys

very nice words.i think it should include one more point BCCI should spend & search for rural talant,& it should be done on only only on merit.
well so the wait is over...at some point of time we had to face the reality..indian team is no better than a B division club side and all they can do now is to take a break from internatinal cricket for the next five years and start playin watever game they like with the indian hockey team....that would be an interstin battle on the cards...losers vs losers..but who s the biggest of em all...and as far as ppl of india are concerned, i think its high time we stop talkin bout our cricketers, afterall they r just hyped by the media n so called cricket fans..ppl shud realise there r more important things in life so why pinnin their hopes on such losers..its just that if ppl stop makin these losers as stars then the whole prob wil be solved....again if somebody s wonderin wher does indian cricket go from here...i feel everybodys blamin the coach n the team..why dunt anyone see the root cause of this debaccle...n that is politics in indian cricket...why the hell do anyone need an agricultaral minister as the president of bcci...as such he has made millions from his ministry then why shud he be entitled to extract more money from cricket..n wat is rajiv shukla doin in cricket...we see so many former cricketers as so called experts in various channels, why dunt they come up n overhaul the entire system...how bcci is run n stuff..everybody has to take the blame...even ppl of india for blindly followin the cricketers...wat if dravid n chappell are sacked n some shameless cricketers are shown the exit....does anyone guarantee success in future...a bunch of losers wil make for another bunch of losers in the waitin....the entire system has to be blamed for not producin enough talent.

Best is all the Indian Players set up a beeda stall in front of some stadium in Australia,West Indies,Srilanka, Pakistan !!!,
Hi everyone, I think from the complete session of Chappel, he was just trying to be in Media, neiether he could motivate the people nor provided them some confidence. Everyone knows that after all it's players job to do, THAN why we need Chappel......... No need......at all. How does it matter, just wast of money, media get lots of masala through him, Players also deviate. Too much experiments had made this worst situation ever of India. Probably India would have been in better position, if they are playing without a coach. atleast can save money..............
Chappel: Take the responsibility and resign..........WE DON"T NEED YOU
Sachin, Dravid, sahwag & Ganguly as senior player, should take responsibility and resign from international cricket. WE DON"T NEED YOU ANYMORE.
Please don't play with our emotions and let the indians sleep well.
performance of other teams will be agreeable for next days. that is our fate. who/why this is happened for indian team. we can do one thing. we can play one ole is gold world cup 1973. don't cry. be an indian. this will happened next time also. so don't cry
Its a great deal ICC has done a great job by announcing a new Tournament which will run alongwith the SUPER 8 round of world cup. This is an exclusive type of tournament called THE DUFFER 8 ROUND All the teams other then Super 8 will play into the DUFFER 8 round & the winning & Points system will remain same. Then the last 4 Teams will go into the DUFFER'S SEMIFINALS which will play along with World Cup Semifinals. The Loosers of DUFFER Semifinals will meet each other in DUFFERS final on 28th APRIL, & as it should be, the looser will be win this tournament. WELL NOW CHEER FOR INDIA HOO HAA INDIA DUFFER'S KING INDIA

I think we should stop watching the game itself.In 100crs population if we cannot produce a good cricket team then we dont have any wright to watch or support the game.It is a sahme on us.
no pint blaming each other at this time. BCCI has plenty of money. why cant they upgrade our first class cricket. we need to have competitive pitches. increasing competition produces better results abd better players. BCCI has to make strategic plan for the future of cricket before it becomes hockey team. can anyone gaurentee if we drop player like sachin, sourav, India will start winning matches ? things have yo change from the begining starting from pitches, training, physical fitness, mental strenght etc. May be time to have X- cricketers in BCCI who can understand tge game and the plans better

what the heck man just telling or commenting about the past ...this is india were only the words or outspoken if any one has guts or any parties have guts sack the cricket team and this sport in india ,well the answer would be no.because everyone are emotional about the game ,so we need to think practically for eg suppose if any one dies in your family you will cry so after couple of days you will forget that their was person ,same way cricket should be sacked in fact i am also telling no response would do good to this question you can ask y and watch match but you r mom f*** agreed?

What did u say I not understanding. And Mom Fom what it is u edukited? Klaeem yousilf edukited kultural and this Mom Fom what it is why so? You edukited half fool.
Chappiguy says after loss what can I kmasnheufns the game is lost b,kos nfwgegjnsdfyb Rahuldabi say, if we could grb jruid hdsgusbjkbu then we would have gfuygdsbh. Sachin say if my body grnugrygubhngdru then I shall play up to egyugerbb dg Fans back at hoime say okay come back then we shall grugebbhr jhgrhhgibueli you all. I am cofuse what would happin to the country. I thinking theat soolution lies if we rbhgrygiwrwebjh guwefyguweigyub oefhjnn. Do ou agree?
everybody is tell this and that but no body is founding the solution what went wrong with the Indian team, if India's win the next coming series then all will forget abt the world cup.
every thing is possiable with Indian team, first day if they beat Australia, second day they will lose against Bangladesh or kenya.it happens only with Indian team.
THE MAIN REASON WITH FLOP SHOW OF INDIAN TEAM IS THEY DONT PLAY WELL UNDER PRESSURE, WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS ON ALL THE FINAL MATCHES PLAYED BY INDIAN TEAM FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
FIRST INDIAN TEAM SHOULD LEARN TO PLAY UNDER PRESSURE THIS CAN MADE ONLY IN DOMESTIC CRICKET AND ALL THE SENIORS NEED TO PLAY DOMESTIC CRICKET.
