wud like to know the tense of ur sentence so that i cud follow what u mean "i saw tomorrow"
It was so pathetic to see the shots played by Ganguly, Uthappa and Shewag. I really wonder whether these players have any common sense. Compare this with the way SriLanka played after loosing early wickets, they played sensibly taking singles.
The Indians lacked an urge win and they don't deserve to go the next round. We don't want this bunch of spineless crickers to merry in Caribbean on our money anymore.Look at Muralitharan, the way he bowled and fielded at this age with enthusiasm.
May be a good Ranji Team could have put up a fight as they play with pride for the state.
Any MF who says Sachin is worlds greatest batsman after watching him bat in worldcup should be hanged by his balls. May be sachin is worlds greatest batsman if Anjali Tendulkar balls to him. Let us stop saying India has the best batting lineup in the world. We do not have cricketeers in the team anymore just C-grade actors.

I don't think even Anjali balls to Sachin these days because Sachin seems to be having Hydroceles disease in his balls, otherwise why is he always adjusting his balls in the field.
1. send these guys for only advertisements 2. i think some guys are envoled in match fixing 3, give chance for juniors 4. now its time for sachin,gangully,agarkar,dhoni,sewag to take rest.plz retire babba we beg you. else we will react upon you guys
People are fond of saying "it's just a game" when there is a reaction against a loss by Team India. But I say it is not "just a game" when it gives the players so much; celebrity status, pots of money, endorsements and more money and a nation giving them an iconic aura. Everything they have is due to the game; Sachin earns a 100 crore in advertisements because he is a cricketer and enjoys cult status. The least we can expect from these men is some committment to the game. And what about some good old-fashioned patriotism??? The pride of playing for one's country seems to have bypassed these selfish individuals. When one saw the Australians playing against South Africa yesterday, one understood this aspect of the game. Their energy, enthusiasm and total focus were so evident. In contrast, all one saw among the much-hyped Team India was a callous, casual approach to batting and fielding. The bowlers at least tried their best. Why are the Indians not good fielders? They are not fit and athletic and why are they not so? Because they spend more time on their endorsements and shoots, than in doing what they should be doing, which is practice, keeping fit and focusing on their game. The fielding was pathetic, in sharp contrast to the Sri Lankans and even the energetic Bangladeshis and I have no words to describe the batting, complete indiffernce would be the right word. They were playing the World Cup for their country and the approach was criminal. A total overhaul of the system and a more accountable structure where a player is responsible for his performance is needed urgently. THERE SHOULD BE A BAN ON ALL ENDORSEMENTS BY CRICKETERS FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS. They have made enough money, now let them think of the game.

Why are you reacting to what a F***ing one Kiran More is saying. Who is he? How much cricket has he played? What does he know about cricket? He only knows one Greg Chappel in Cricket.
Can someone please tell us why Mr Kiran More is also not answerable ! The Indian team has been preparing for this WC-2007 since Greg Chappell came is as Coach and for most of this period Mr More has been heading the selection committee - let him NOT play the role of another 'I-already-told-you-so' expert !!

Very Well Said...! I first of all don't understand why Rediff is interviewing him as if he is a Kapil Dev or Sunil Gavaskar or Ravi Shastri who understands the technical aspects of the game.
It is rather funny that Rediff wastes it's time in interviewing a stupid person who, during his tenure, just played politics and Tit-4-Tat games against Dalmiya and Sourav and was just merely an instrument in the hands of yet another arrogant australian, Chappell.
When Bob Woolmer died , lot of Pakistani fans sincerly cried for his loss and lighted candles on his memorials and I honestly don't think that it would have been the same if it had been Chappell because he never won any hearts in the Indian General Public.
For heaven sake , ignore stupid idiot like Kiran More and continue with the current team. I don't think changing team is the solution and the agenda of youth is a stupid argument. Matthew Hayden , Adam Gilchirst , Ricky Ponting , Glenn Mcrath are all live wires till date to laugh at the idiotic argument of Kiran More that you should show the door to the seniors. (Remember Murali telling that he wanted to prove a point that he is still a great fielder)
I guess More is utterly disappointed that he is still not playing International Cricket and is really not happy with Sachin, Sourav and Dravid still going strong in their mid 30s. What More to say about More ?
