indian players have really disappionted the indians living in india and also those who are living in abroad with their bad performance. indian players are washed out of the series because of their mean mentality and attitude. for example sachin who is considered as a the greatest player in world cricket has crossed the record of don bradman and he himslef knows that no one in the near future can over shade him in all respects, so now he is not bothered of anything. he wants to earn and make few more small and if possible big landmarks and then stay calm enjoying the benefits. ganguly is the second he is so clever that he knows that he has to retain in the team for future matches and earn money so he played a very mean game by putting pressure on the opposite player and on other team members. he should have taken the pressure from uttappa who just started his career, ganguly's vast experience proved to be useless. dravid as mentioned by one of the reader he is just a follower. he followed greg chappel when their was a big confussion in the attitude of ganguly some timeback which resulted in expel of ganguly from national squad. due to this the moral of indian team has come down, but in this matter i would like to appreciate harbhajan singh who has supported ganguly once but later supressed bcoz of pressure from the top. dravid needs to be more individual and strong in his approach, he has supported sehwag many a times though his performance was extremely bad in the recent years. when he could do for sehwag he should have done something for ganguly and to other players like kaif, laxman and most importantly for patan etc. you have really young talent waiting for their numbers to shine. atleast now leave the senior players like sachin, ganguly, sehwag and give a chance for promissing players.
greg chappel always with a cunning attitude. i would like ask our selectors and board of cricket in india why do they go for other nationals as coaches when we have great players like kapil, ajit wadekar, sunil gavaskar etc who are excellent in all respects. what is the necessity to go for other nationals? if you cant recognize our own talent then who else will recognize. i dont see any need to approach other nationals to assist our team members in coaching. board members please do rethink on this aspect and dont allow someone to boss on us. at the end of the day its we who are loosing as we know that once the coach is expelled from job there are many countries who will absorb them.

I dont know about the rest, but Gavaskar may not have the marbles for the job. He is only fit to blabber in interviews and blame the same set of people come what may.
It is better to forget cricket. Kalam jee please implement BAN on CRICKET for 5 years. So that all Indians can concentrate on the other top sports and games like Chess, Tennis, Badminton, Shuttle and Hockey, Football. WASTE OF OUR TIME TO EXPECT MORE ON CRICKET. BAN IT FOR 5 YEARS.

SMS thing TOI reported which has bongs like Sumeet Mukharjee,
Bose as reporters check today's TOI
and..
Make Ganguly coach of Bangladesh if you want.
They will start infight.
They will forget to run between wickets.
They will start hurling their shirts and pants.
They will make their partners run out.
They will start politics with journalists.
They will start CPM Bangladesh branch.
They will drop catches.
They will give boundaries.
He will be great Bangladesh coach till some body does Woolmer with him.
It is always seen when somebody like Sehwag Sachin etc start banging the ball all over ground and face all the fury of best pace bowlers. Then this Darpok dada comes and like hindi movies after hero fights his friends ,ladies etc also start hitting opponents. Tjis Darpok Dada swings his bat also at very very slow pace and also scores this way.
In last world cup who toiled and who is trying to clinch credit ?
On the day of Shri Lanka match there was SMS from Journalist to Ganguly. (TOI report)
Dravid and Ganguly had some fight over that attitude with Ganguly.
On background of Ganguly's slow innings against Bangla desh.This saw Indian defeat against Bangladesh as remaining 6 batsman were left with 36 balls to score. This lead to collapse as they did not get time to settle.
Can some body throw light on that SMS.
Let the world know How This lobby of Ganguly and Bengal journalists put pressure on team just to help ganguly sabotage indian campaign.
Even match against South Africa at Eden Gardens all Bengali crowd supported SA team. How they call themselces patriot?
Ithna sab Mahbhrath for captaincy to one player at expense of joys Indian and (very small part of Bengal) cricket lovers.

Dravid is a gentleman hence all these nonsense. Instead of discussing the obvious with Ganguly, he shud have whacked with the bat on his head. That wud have entitled Dravid for Bharat Ratna...though B'desh wud have sued Dravid for killing B'desh Ratna !!!!
Great! Finally the guy (More) who did maximum damage to Indian cricket in least possible time accepts this. But only after his ouster as chief selector. Mr. More should be a forgotten chapter in Indian cricket as we just don't to hear/read his name in any thing remotely connected with cricket.

I think Vengy is not answerable. He already has passed on the buck to the players saying 'they selected themselves' ... what a joke !! wonder how much he was paid for his stint as a world cup team selector.
