From the past, these kind of result will make Indian team more over confident and they used to goof up the major ones. Hope they wont get carried over by these results against Windies!

hey sukhwinder, where r u from, who u calling cowards, u must be cross breaded, leave india and indian cricket alone boy.
Sehwag's average since 20 mathces has come down to 16.86 Runs ! India dont have additional batsman apart from Karthik and Robin uthappa ! if anybody goes out of injury or non-performance, there is no choice ! 20 vs netherland, 0 Vs windies by sehwag has made india worried !!!! are everyone confident on sehwag just boz of past performance and off sin bowling ? Poor Ganguly was out for 1 year, Azhar or Yuvraj every one have been out and in, why not sehwag due inspite of very poor batting !!!

Mr Anil Kumar just to reming u that Azhar doesnt play for India anymore, so u mentioned that Ganguly Azhar n Yuvraj have been out and in, so can u explain when did Azhar n Yuvraj play together for Indian Team. Infact u wanted to write abt Kaif but u mistakenly wrote him as Azhar, why ?? can u explain me, well I explain u, bcoz its on back of ur mind that Kaif is a muslim so even if u forget his name u wont forget that he is a muslim, am I right?? I m waiting for ur reply.

Hi Imran, I think you have given the argument a Hindu-Muslim Tag totally needlessly. Please read what Anil has said once again and then you mat y agree.
Incidentally, Kaif is just too poor in form and approach etc that he has no place in any world class team. Well, he may give UAE a try.

Kaif may not score 20-30 runs, but he saves more than 50 runs per match. Thats more important. Not scoring but saving runs.

Please dont put a muslim hindu tag for every statement that an Indian makes - its not good for our society. He was just referring to Indian cricket in general. Azhar, Ganguly and now Yuraj are talented (and marquee if you will) players for their country - Shewag is in the same category. So he is saying when other great players get dropped, "why not Sehwag is getting dropped?" is a simple question that Anil is posing - it is not any other way from what I can see.

yow imran, whats up man, where u from, this kind of mentality killing the world, we are discussing about game not a religion, u seems like a radical, there is no chance of muslim or hindu, there is only discussion who is in the form, may be u can't understand what is the meaning of form in cricket, so waste of discussion with you, so if any chance grow up youth.

Hi Imran, Just going through Anil's letter, it does not strike me in any way that he is trying to play a communal game here. Maybe you are right, maybe he wrote "Azhar" by mistake instead of "Kaif", but before you want to play the communal card, please notice that he has also mentioned Ganguly and Yuvraj, none of whom are muslims. Can you not see that his question simply asks why Sehwag should be in the team with his recent low scores? If we continue to pick on made-up issues like this, we'll never be able to progress as a nation. Let's get out of this sort of mentality.

I guess Imran Khan is drunk, if not we are talking about cricket and where does communal feelings come into picture. And Kaif adn Azhar they both are muslims so how does that matter. UNDERSTAND IMRAN BHAI AND START USING YOUR BRAINS FOR A CHANGE FOR GOD SAKE
Can Someone ask Sehwag to start playing Kabaddi ? He is out of form, and out of confidence. I cant understand, what makes the selection comittee to show so much confidence in him? Its India, Once you score well, you are forever in the team. Why is Kiran More silent now.. Did he think about this when he asked Dada to sit out of the team? Hats Off To Dravids confidence in him which made the selectors take him in the team.

I agree with Sukwinder. Wake up Satish.. enough of supporting the Indian team. we supported them too much in the past and hence the sorry state of affairs.
We shouldn't read too much into this victory... India just got lucky once..
Lets wait and watch instead of jumping into conclusions..

KSatish,
I couldn't have stated it better. Being a winner in a World Cup is not just about winning the World Cup.
Great! then why play at all? Come back home!!
As it is, it's a shame that a nation of 1.1 billion people doesn't have qualifying Olympic athletes. The game India is "supposed" to excel at and is a national obsession, Indian team's performance depends on which player is having a good day!!
The problem with the Indian fan is that the fan embraces the team no matter what the outcome. Just like you stated.
This is were the game stops being a sport/contest and becomes a circus. A circus is a time-bound show with no winners or losers, everybody leaves the venue with their money's worth.
The reason for my criticism is that the team has become indifferent to the outcome. They know that the rewards will keep coming, so why even try!!
This will continue till someone lets them know that failure is not an option. By the blind faith displayed by the fans, that won't be happening any time soon!!!

Sukhi,
I didnt feel that bad dude. No, u are right I did feel bad cos it was a good chance to be number one which we missed.
Anyway,after all India was in the top 2 teams for you crying out loud.
So what did I forget????
Oh so you felt so bad that u almost went for suicide and thought u might as well live your life cursing them all through out the tornament just cos they failed a final?
So, tho kya samjeh hum?
Get off it dude. Life is better then that. Hope, faith are not just spiritual and religious words. They let you be a winner, dont stoop to a loser self.
I read your other msgs u are better then that. Have a sense of humor and all. I like your " In fact I think no body should open!!". Yes that is funny but dont just keep beating aroudn the wrong bush so much that people might mistake you for a loser.

Sukhi,
Oh yeah you are right. Absolutely felt terrible and was feeling like throwing up. But why cos they got up from being a normal team to a point where they got into the final and challenged the runners and then failed miserably.
True the Pak fan couldnt go through the sick feeling that you and I went through. So what do u say we just lose and not even go to the final?
I came out of it after a few months. But I did.
This is a game which is won and lost. So we fans will be feeling excited and sick from time to time.
But I see it as following cricket not just India. Indan team is just a path. I dont think a loser blood is running through meam sure it is up to some thing.
And being a winner is not just about winning the final.
Hope is a dangerous thing but belive me thrills of life are what makes it worth living.

Dada didnt get as many chances, he got kicked out and when given a chance is back with a BANG. Dada is in full form. Sehwag on the other has been given wayyyyyyy too many chances and its about time someone kick him out of the team. Infact i wouldnt be surprised if he comes up with an injury excuse to be kicked out of the team., cuz may be he is in the team due to some sort of political or whatever pressure ...who cares.... Whether sehwag is kicked out by the team management or by an injury excuse....i would be happy as long as this burden is off India's chest. BY THE WAY, I AM NOT REFERRING TO THE WIN AGAINST WEST INDIES TODAY, BUT I HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE IN THE INDIAN TEAM TO MAKE IT TO THE SEMIS....I AM VERY REALISTIC WHICH IS WHY I THINK ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN FROM THE SEMIS, AS THIS WORLD CUP IS OPEN FOR ANY TEAM TO WIN.....GREAT JOB ZAHEER, MUNAF, AGARKAR, PATHAN AND ROBIN.....IF INDIAN TEAM STICKS TO TEAM WORK AND ALL ROUND PERFORMANCE WE WILL DO GOOD..... GOOD LUCK TEAM INDIA

I don't think so, if he fails in WORLD CUP, he must drop from INDIAN TEAM for long time like GANGULY. More players are waiting to show their TALENT & ur talking about "Give some more chances to viru" I hate ur words. Enough is enough.
what is this. why is sourav not opening. Rahul and Sachin seem to have conspired against him because they have realised that he is a better batsman than them. SHAME ON SACHIN TENDULKAR & RAHUL DRAVID

by Harinder Toor on Mar 10, 2007 12:47 AM Permalink
sachin was not a part of this game. And its a wise decision to send uthappa and sehwag to open. Ganguly has been in good form in the past and rahul took the decision to give some practice to the unexperienced players (sehwag being exception but his was probably to regain some batting touch). Maybe he will get 2 more chances to perform and if he doesnt perform against bangla and n bermuda he will sit out in the tournament.

Why Sourav should open the innings every time, are you mad, and ur telling "SHAME ON SACHIN TENDULKAR & RAHUL DRAVID". The man who holds the INDIAN batting line-up for more than 11/2 decade. I think ur MAD FAN of Sourav, so ur thinking this.

Dear dys,
No problem. As per your advice, we shall ask Mcgrath, Pollock , Shane bond all to bowl slow to our "dada" and also not to delver a bouncer to him.
I dont understand why u are sending such messages "yaa even Sreesanth is part of that conspiracy...thats why he injured Ganugly in nets...cant he bowl little slow to dada?" and making the great dada a small man.
Instead of supporting him, actually u are criticising him. With your above msg, now people will start asking "how dada will play other fast bowlers if he cant play a new comer sreesanth?"

Mohd. Bhaijaan,
take is easyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!
It is a warm up match.
Dada is taking his nap. He will wake up and play when the World cup begins.
The players are not conspiring against each other. Yes, but they are conspiring against the Indian fans.
Read this:
To The Indian Cricket (gilli-danda) team:
Boys,
Stick to the plan as always.
Win a couple of interesting matches. Lose the crucial ones dramatically!
Remember, crores and crores of Indian fans have to be fooled (you can sample their messages here), so make it look authentic.
Also, never forget you are the Indian team, no matter what the outcome your fans will continue to love you ...... this love is not only blind, it is deaf and dumb too.
So enjoy your vacation in the Caribbean. Get a lot of rest. Do not worry about Cricket, it is like an Indian government job ..... sub kuch chalta hain!!
Do not stay out in the Sun for too long it may affect your ability to act dejected for the photographs taken at the airport by the Indian press when you return.

The point is that Viru is a liability - and he is shameless too. Let him carry the towels and water bottles so thta he can prove his commitment. I have spent a lot of money for this worldcup. Not for this loser. I agree that there is nothing called too much match practice -look at Australia and England game. Dada should have played with Robin. Never mind-watch the space.
