Shewag was one of the better performing batsman in the WC07, if not the best indian bat.

i am definately with you.. dont know why are these people givin him so many chances and other players, who actually deserve anoother chance, are being looked down up on... it is this attitude, of giving some player chance again and again just due to his name, that has brought the Indian time to where it is.. younger players should be given a chance, esp Kaif, he has so much talent in him but he didnt get a chance to show it...
This is the height of dirty politics. Why is a man who was the man of the series against Bangladesh last time not selected. Mohammed Kaif was the man of the series last time we went there. He has one of the best scores in tests and Odis in West Indies he was not selected to the world cup. He was the captain of our only under 19 winning squad. He was the vice captain of our only under 15 winning squad. He took UP to Ranji trophy Odi and test championship last time beating Mumbai, Punjab and Bengal. They were to only serious challenge to Mumbai this time in Ranji ODI's. He was part of the world cup 2003 squad which reached the finals his contributions against New Zealand and Pakistan was huge. Without him we did not even qualify for super 8's in this world cup. What is your problem with him.

Dear gentleman,
The records you have quoted, without verifying them, I can say are 'history' and past. Is there any use repeating them again and again?
You are very well aware Kaif has been given a lot of chances, but he has failed as a batsman. He was good in fielding, but we can ill afford to have a person in the playing 11 just for fielding only!. Therefore unless he bats well and comes up with consistently big scores, I dont see Kaif getting back into the national team.

Dear Sir, The records are there in the public to verify. Please do so. As far as giving him chances are check out the following 1. He top scores in West Indies in Odis and scores a test century there. In the next series in Malaysia against west indies he is brought to bat in the 49th over. 2. Then he is judged aganist how he performed in South Africa in the Odi's where all failed. someone like Laxman got a zero in the first match. Where is your conscience? If history is passed and forgotten why is Shewag in the team? why is Sachin given chances again and again? Why is Wasim Jaffer not opening? What made India take Kumble to World cup? What made selectors take Dinesh Mongia.
I don't know what chapple has reported to BCCI, that they have come up with such in favour of Dravid and fullfilling all the requests from Dravid-Chapple duo which was primarily responsible for moving down indian ranking from No.2 to No.8.
Chapple has put all the blames very intelligently on the seniors, but read what Simpson says about chapple.
Simpson then lays into Chappell and terms him a failure both as captain and coach.
"Obviously Greg Chappell had problems with the attitude of some of the top players. I found his public declaration of his dissatisfaction over the attitude and commitment of his senior players most disappointing.
"His lack of success with the Indian cricket team has come as no surprise to the Australian cricket fraternity. He is admired greatly for his wonderful, graceful and successful batting and I feel he was one of the greatest slip fielders of all time, but his captaincy and coaching did not command the same respect," Simpson said.
"During his long tenure as captain of Queensland, they were considered the best team in Australia but didn't win a single Sheffield Shield title. In recent times, he had a long coaching stint with South Australia but with poor results.
"Chappell's somewhat autocratic manner was often blamed for his lack of success, as was his perceived lack of understanding that his charges didn't have his golden touch and class as a cricketer."

simpson wants to be a coaoch so he is cozying up to Tendulkar and Ganguly, since he knows India are going to lose to bangladesh and these seniors are going to come back. It is another matter of course that India will lose to Bangladesh even if the seniors had gone.

Many cricket / media expert are telling dravid influencing the sehwag why reliable sources ?? sehwag is highest run getter with better average and strike rate? He is highest rungetter and scored 100 in WC while no other batsman including yuvraj did not score 100 against Bermuda also When ganguly was captain, laxman and kumble were out of team even after good performance which ended odi career of laxman and kumble. BUT THERE WERE NO NOISE IN MEDIA Sachin being VC is failed with bat during WC. IF he had any problem with dravid or chappell why he did not approach the board instead of media? why is always comes with headlines with against dravid ? Whatever happens to ganguly it is projected the is b%u2019cuz of dravid?How can a ganguly%u2019s performance helped the team ?? His 129-ball 66 against Bangladesh, 114-ball 89 against Bermuda, and 23-ball 7 against Sri Lanka conveyed the impression that he was more concerned with making runs for himself than the team. Poor fielding, poor running between wkt, and unwilling to take singles not rotating strke etc.. It seems that some section of Bengal media, whatever bad/ failure happened to ganguly it is b%u2019cuz of dravid? B%u2019cuz dravid made captain from last 20 months? Why ur reliable sources could find out about back stage politics of ganguly?/

Dear Suman,
If we can get results by kicking out all of the current players and making you the captain, there will not be any media heu and cry. but is you can not produce results and start blaming others for this there will be definite hue and cry everywhere. and media represnts the voice and feelings of common population not of some blind supporters like you.
i was expecting Randeb Bose to be in the team, he has performed in the first class cricket and proven himself..! What a reccord he has ?? not a single No ball ...!
pathan exclusion is really ridiculous, these selectors really spoiling his career, i dont understand why he was dropped - may be his bowling not good at the moment, but he is in good nick with the bat, really this is upsetting.
after sachin & ganguly's hard work in ICC Worldcup - BCCI feel they might tired and rested for ODI in bangladesh. Shame.......... How they quote "rested" ..........ridiculous!!

You genius Suman stop supporting Dravid.What he has done in world cup for which he is being supported and being retained as captain. And also Ganguli was highest scorer in the world cup and still u people say what he did? Shame on u people. Don't remind me about the slow scoring because run rate does not matter when no other batsman was willing to stay ar the wicket.Stop the nonsence.

I think you dont possess any good cricketing knowledge. You are criticizing Ganguly for playing slow. What about Dravid, 90% of the time he plays slow and is not a match winner in one day but he is good support batsman. He is the worst india captain. who has no aggresson , no leadership skills and poor decision making. Most incompetant person for this post. Only because of him irresponsible batsman like Sehwag is playing. Under Ganguly captainship india reached final of World cup(big thing), drew test match agains t Australia in Austraila and reached finals in some many series. Which Dravid could never even dream.

Both of you should replace your old keyboards and use the caps lock properly
If I would have been the President or Prime Minister, I would have banned the game of Cricket in India and put them before the bars if anyone plays, supports, views or comments about Cricket. We the people of India should not waste time in Cricket and invest the precious time in other things for the coutry's upliftment. By cricket, some companies and players gain money only and nothing in terms got for the country - only people's precious time wasted. Instead, everyone should think and utilise the time in a productive way.
