Both in the bangladesh and srilanks matches it is the collective responsibility of Indian batsman and bowler that cost the match. Eventhough a score of 191 runs against bangladesh cannot be defended by Indian bowlers. Most of the team members were not able to find form in this world cup or not able to adjust to the wicket. seen some comments about putting Dhoni in number 3. what was his score in this WC. 0,25,0. so its like the score reading 25/1 become 25/2. also he has done a good job in number 7 position . Let him become a Mark boucher(reliable and efficient keeper batsman at noumber 7) first then think about Gilchrist.
First thing India should do is to find the right young players keeping in mind the future and groom them. No need to shred tears if superhuman batsmen were dropped. ( See the case of Attapattu, he is not in the playing eleven eventhough he is a former captain and none of the SL's are protesting in the street).Only 3-4 experienced players to be kept for giving guidance.
It's well known truth that India will not qualify for Super8. They can't even get Bermuda all out. Wah, What a bowling attack we have?? Having experienced players in team and loosing to Bangladesh is a shame. Sehwag, Sachin, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Zaheer, Utappa should be removed. Don't we have better players in India at all?? Out of 1.1 Billion people??
After the great blue Fiasco. all the talk of taough talk.. gettign back for introspection can only bear fruit .. if and only.
All the corporates.. urged by a sense of nationality and patriotism, cancell all the endoresements.
Each adn every endorsement should be cancelled... this has happned before in entertainment industry.. pepsi, nike, all have pulled out lucrative contracts globally. why have double standards here.
let the board cancell all central contracts and let them start anew. all the sponsosip deals canceleld. and ban on any player playing in county criket or outside.
these guys are there to play. let them horne their skills playing domestic cricket. results are bound to come.
let the gods realise they are mere mortals unless they ahve the adulation of the billions, who are these guys in australia, south africa or wherever, sans the backing of the Indian billion.
start anews. ti might take some time, but start wrokgin abck from fitness. age is certainly no bar, but not on reputation any more.
Indian has lost both the matches due to the mistakes of Indian Captain.
1) You have seen the Bangladesh match Why he dont' use Munafpatel & Harbhajan when they are bowling good speel, In between he used Zaheer Khan. B are not playing properly Spiner and he should use spiners at both end. you should thing and given me reply.
The Final and Crusal match against Sri Lanka the following to be noted down
1) Why Agrakar not bowled his 10 Over Spell Let Know & Zaheer Khan bowled his 10 Over Speel please check the bowling records of this particular match.
2) Let me know when Uthappa Out. Why he not used the tailender batsman i.e. Munafpatel, Zaheer Khan, Agrakar & Dhoni.
3) Let me know when Ganguly Out. Why he not used the tailenders batsman i.e. Munafpatel, Zaheer Khan, Agrakar & Dhoni. This is the reason due to poor captaincy we have lost the match why I am giveing reasons.
a) The above four Bats man can play the fast bowlers in power play by doing a heating if this four players made 50 to 75 runs in the particuar 20 overs then , ganguly, dravid, sachin, yuvraj, and easly play the spinners and we win the match.
I am not a analysit but in my opinion once again due to poor capatancy we have lost both the matches against bangladesh and srilanka due to Rahul Dravid only Captain of Indian Team.

The reason we failed is because Super starbatsmen sachin, dhoni, ganguly did not bat, sub standard spinner Harbajan and pace bowler without pace Agarkar's performance.
I think it is time for Sachin, Dhoni, Harbajan and Agarkar retired from One day cricket.
