The real culpritsS Rajesh http://contentgulf.cricinfo.com/india/content/current/story/288746.html
While India's players blame their recent poor form on everything from a manipulative coach to a sense of insecurity to an indifferent captain, the plain truth is this: When it really mattered, India's batsmen failed to deliver. It's a fact that has been obscured by emotion, hype and selective memory but a reading of the statistics is revealing. Player-agent nexus ruining Indian cricket: former BCCI chiefs Chennai, April 3.

Retain Dravid as captain, Sachin should quit ODIs Should Rahul Dravid be replaced as the captain of the Indian team? And the answer was in the negative with 86 per cent saying he should not be removed with only nine per cent saying that he should be replaced. The rest five per cent did not have any opinion. http://www.cricketnext.com/news/retain-dravid-as-captain-sachin-should-quit-odis/24099-13-2.html

There are lot of facts out there.. Hopefully something concrete comes out of this saga.. one place you can vent your frustrations is www.cricketvotes.com
India loss is now very old news .. Dont you have anything worthwhile to do. Report on the 15 year old boy who has earned his place on his own in next year olympics.. without goverment or sponsor fundings....
it is better if politician stop commenting about cricketrs. They tried at their level best. No politician in this country has right to comment on crickers. The political people forgot what they promised at the time of election and never eble to perfom properly. You idiotic politicians, because you are occupying and trying to occupy cricket such thing happening. What are you doing in cricket. please getout and do you duty. leave the cricket and its administration to ex-cricketers.
Seniors were not playing well especially against Sri Lanka. They knew very well to beat Sri Lanka is must to qualify into Super 8s. But they never bothered to beat Sri Lanka. The Score of 255 is a possible target. But Ganguly and Tendulkar have not been shown any responsiblity at a crucial juncture. India has been pulled out of WORLD CUP. Shame ... Shame..
It is better to throw or kick off all the senior player and the young players will be given a chance to proove their performance.
our big players should learn a lots of things from our captain rahul dravid.he is the only consistant player in our team.bring in kaif to make his deputy.get the younsters.all other senior players should be sacked.bring in naidu,badani,kartik,gambir,dhoni,patel,and others like irfan,rohan gavasker and other so many promising yougsters,and yuvraj too.
i think rahul dravid should pass on his legacy of calm,perseverance,and how to be gracious in defeat to the team.in ayear or two he should retire after building the team.
when dravid made captain team was broken ship and ranked NO8th in ICC rankingnow even after so many defeats it is ranked NO 6th( till yesterday's varified) dravid is still No 12th in odi ranking . Indian captains in ODIs
Names Matches Won Lost Drawn/Tied Won%
Kapil Dev 74 40 32 2 54.05% M Azharuddin 173 89 76 6/2 51.45% SR Tendulkar 73 23 43 6/1 31.51% SC Ganguly 146 76 65 &nbs p; 5 52.05% R Dravid 65 33 28 4 50.77% dravid led team lesser no of matches and winning average is only 1.22% less than ganguly's success as captain b'cuz ganguly had advantage of leading team more nos of mathces and more lengthier period. Ganguly had god father called dalmiya and full support of bcci but dravid is criticized by chief slectore board officialsetc%u2026 India team early exit is b%u2019cuz of dirty negative criket played delebartely by some senior player and chappell had guts to raise issue all senior players are responsible for WC debacle. Some players deliberately played negative cricket and gifted match to Bangladesh.IF players wer not ready to support team cause or captian, why blame captain and coach??/ Ganguly%u2019s media ageing singing one song dravid chapelll should go sachin should retire and ganguly should be captain and yuvraj make VC After his come back ganguly is playing for self to save his wkt and cement his place not even one performance did not for team cause. He is selfish oppertuinst and promote groupism no media makes noise about his dadagiri. Ganguly did not return with team, but when he arrived next day he was not in team uniform but some channel was highlighting it was warm return attitude%u2026.etc.. whole team is responsible for loss and why coach and captain made scapegoat If captain and coach has to go then sachin ganguly sewag zahirkahn harban, dhoni also be out of team

Yes everyone should go out of the team . I don't know whether u r a guy or a girl or .... But u n ur spouse can give it a shot when INDIAN team will be selected . I'm sure u can entertain people more than our big players do .
Throw Tendulkar, Harbhajan for their performance. And Ganguly for starting his politics inside the team. We are watching because our national team is playing. Not because of tendulkar or ganguly is playing. And give some chances to Sehwag and Agarkar. if they fail, kick them out.

Ganguly never started politics in the team. otherwise when he was the captain India wouldnt have reached the finals of WC..it all started wen Greg Chappel came into the scene. he was the one who started it..

Boss one thing is clear that Indian team was not in this state when Ganguly was the captain... Take that
Most of these politicians are useless and they indulge in corruption, votebank politics etc etc....Now when it comes to criticising others they are the first ones.. It ll be better if they do their job and serve the people who voted them rather than comment on the cricket team's performance
