atleast under the duo of Jagmohan Dalmia and Saurav Ganguly we were reaching more finals. but under Dravid and Pawar we seem to be no where. Under Ganguly's and Tendulkar's and Azhar's Captaincy look the style of dravid's batting. slow and sticky. but under his own captaincy dravid has totally changed his batting style. still we call him gentleman. f**k him.
Its a good selection, at least they have dropped Harbhajan, Agarkar, two of the most pedestrian crcketers, India has ever produced. It is interesting to be seen, how many of new faces are given the chances, we might end up playing same old faces, with one or two given the chance. We shud not bother about winning or losing at present, we must try and give maximum chances to deserving players and be pateint with them. We cant find a Tendulkar or Kumble in one or two chances. What has to be watched is how selectors back up these new boys...or they are just made scapegoats, to bring back their old dropped and rested favourites for more prestigious England tour. Also, we must groom at least 8 similiar capacity fast bowlers for tour of England. Even Balaji shud have been considered, so was Nehra, since ball does swing in English conditions. Munaf, Zaheer, Sreesanth and young Ishant shud be persisted throughout this tour. Pathan, Nehra, Balaji, RP singh and VRV singh, shud be on benches, with even strength. In batting, Gambhir, Uthappa, Sehwag, Dravid, Yuvraj and Dhoni shud be first choice. Dravid shud be at no 4 to control wholeof batting.
Its a good team, if persisted with, and selectors shud have dropped Tendulakar and Ganguly. Tendulakar shud retire, no matter what people say to inflate his ego.

after sachin & ganguly's hard work in ICC Worldcup(8 centuries & 15 fifties - BCCI feel they might got tired and rested for ODI in bangladesh. Shame.......... How they quote "rested" ..........it should be "kicked out"
why the HELL are these IDIOTS being selected --R P Singh, Ramesh Powar -- this POWAR -- is useless & always selectors select him instead of him - Irfan would have been much better choice & also Ganguly should have been there instead of Sehwag... who is out on the very first ball.. selection is useless & waist of time - also they will loose this series to b'desh....
THE TEAM WHICH DILIP VENGSARKAR SELECTED FOR ONE DAYERS IS REALLY GOOD. IF REALLY ROBIN UTHAPPA HAS IN HIM THAT POTENTIAL TO REPLACE LIKES SACHI, SEHWAG IN THE LONG RUN NEEDS TO BE SEEN INTHIS TOUR. MANOJ TIWARI MUST BE TESTED AT 2ND DOWN IN ONEDAYERS TO HAVE ONE SUCCEED THERE WITH DHONI COMING AT FIRST DOWN. DRVID AND YUVRAJ SITTING BACK TO SETTLE THE THINGS IF WENT WRONG.
GAUTAM GAMBHIR IS GOOD AT WEAKER SIDES BUT HE IS NOT GOOD AT GOOD BOWLING SIDES LIKE AUSTRALIA, SOUTH AFRICA NZ, ETC.
TRYING HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN ON HIS DOMESTIC PERFORMANCES IS NOT GOOD. INFACT THE SELECTORS WOULD HAVE TRIED HIM IN THE LONGER VERSION OF THE GAME WITH WASIMJAFFER AS LEFT RIGHT COMBINATION MIGHT HAVE DONE GOOD.
ANYHOW, WE SHOULD NOT PUT TOOMUCH PRESSURE ON THIS INEXPERIENCED AND EXPERIMENTAL TEAM TO WIN IN BANGLADESH. IF WE EXPECT SO IT IS AGAIN A DISTURBANCE TO US. AT LEAST IF THEY WIN ONE ONEDAY IS GOOD THERE. WE HAVE ONLY 2 STRIKERS WHO CAN STRKE OVER 100 ARE YUVRAJ AND DHONI, UTHAPPA SURE WILL FAIL AGAIN.
BOWLING I AM THRILLED TO SEE PIYUSH CHAWLA OPERATING. HE HAS DONE EXCELLENT JOB FOR THE TEAM IN NZ AS CAPTAIN AND BOWLER. HE MIGHT BE INDIA'S ANSWWER TO SHANE WARNE. ALL THE BEST PIYUSH.

I need to correct a bit . . Sorry
There are a couple of points you must know, Mr. Tata
1. Don't write poetry copying Ogden Nash.
2. Use words, combinations of words, grammar etc. that is understantable - eg. Good at weaker sides but not good bowling sides . . I think you meant "against" good and not so good bowling sides. Or writing " Bowling I am thrilled to see ". .
3. And relax buddy. What's the hurry ? Capital letters leave an impression of "shouting". So, please write in correct format. Writing in all caps is not the right etiquette.
