IT MIGHT BE SHAMEFUL THAT INDIA WAS OUT OF WORLD CUP, SO EARLY.
BUT LET US THINK FEW ISSUES HERE,
ARE WE GIVING UNNECESSARY IMPORTANCE TO CRICKET IN OUR LIFE?
WE WILL ASK OTHERS NOT TO DISTURB ALL THE TIME SAYING THAT WE ARE BUSY AND WE WILL BE WATCHING DAYS TOGETHER THESE USELESS MATCHES.
HOW MANY OF US HAVE READ OUR RELIGION BOOKS AT LEAST ONCE, WE DON%u2019T HAVE TIME FOR THAT, WE ARE BUSY WITH CAREER OR BUSINESS.CANT WE DIVERT THIS CRICKET TIME TO THAT.
IS IT RIGHT TO ADMIRE THESE CRICKETERS UPTO THE LEVEL OF GODS, DO THEY REALLY DESERVE? WHAT IS THE PRACTICAL CONTRIBUTION OF A CRICKETER TO THE NATION OR RACE? HOW MANY OF THEM ARE INVOLVED IN CHARITY.
WHAT IS HIS SKILL WHEN COMPARED TO A TRIANED DOCTOR, OR ENGINEER, OTHER THAN THAT HE IS JUST GOOD AT HITTING A BALL OR GOOD AT THROWING A BALL.ARE WE IGNORING THE REAL PEOPLE IN THE SOCIETY?
WHAT IS THE USE OF MEANING LESS DISCUSSIONS HOURS TOGETHER IN THE MEDIA AND SMS OVER PHONE?
DON%u2019T WE HAVE ANY OTHER BETTER ENTERTAINMENT IN LIFE?
IS IT RIGHT TO ATTACK ON CRICKETER%u2019S PROPERTY ONCE THEY FAIL IN MATCH.IMAGINE YOUR SELF THAT YOU ARE DOING SOME WORK AND 100 MILLINON PEOPLE ARE WATCHING YOUR WORK LIVE %u2026CERTAINLY THERE WILL BE DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE.
TODAY ALL FAMOUS CRICKETERS ARE MULTIMILLIONARES. DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY SHOULD GET MORE MONEY THAN A FARMER WHO IS ALWAYS SWEATING AND FIGHTING AGAINST NATURAL CALAMITIES?
TOO MUCH ADMIRING THESE GUYS MIGHT LEAD TO WRONG IMPRESSION TO THE NEXT GENERATION THAT THIS MIGHT BE BEST JOB TO DO.
ARE OTHER GAMES AND SPORTS VALUE LESS? ARE WE BACK WARD IN ALL OTHER GAMES AND SPORTS BECAUSE WE ARE WATCHING AND PLAYING CRICKET ONLY?
WHY WE BAN CASINOS, GAMBLING AND HORSE RACES FROM OUR SOCIETY, AND ADMIRE CRICKET WHICH IS WORSE GAMBLING THAN THE FORMER ONES IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD.
PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS, THIS IS OUR COMMON RESPONSIBILITY.
I don't blame the cricketers. It is the Indian public which has made them demi gods. Our cricket team at best can be described as an average cricket team. It is the media and public which have made them champion team. So don't lose heart. India played what it is capable of. Neither the players have skills, nort do they have right attitude. Their body language is negative, they look unfit on cricket field.
Either he has completely written off Sachin or singled him out as "Apna Aadni". Most memorable way of getting out in a cruch match for the maestro.. may be More opted not to rub salt any further... or he felt, Umpire gave the wrong guard or the light was poor when that ball was bowled or the ball travelled quicker than Sachin's reflex.. Bottomline is .. We were overrated...

you know it was More who started all this jhamela and politics as the chairman of selectors...the downfall of Indian cricket started with him and obviously he being what he is, is looking to balme all but himself...all of them should be asked to keep quiet and stay away from the game.
It is very much evident that if we do not continue to raise the standard of the game in Indian team, in all departments(batting included) of cricket, we will continue to produce spikes of victory and failures. Following is my opinion: 1.Infuse young players 2.Make seniors understand that their position is entirely upto their performance 3.Reduce political influence(easy to say though) 4.Raise the selection criteria by scores in recent matches and current form of the player only 5.Make Indian team see all Australian matches to learn from them
...its any one can sense by reading more's word that he is using indian defeat for taking revenge for his personal reason. Please keep this more out of indian cricket for future. He has no right to say any thing for indian player specialy against saurav ganguly. He is not even near to his class.

Here i would like to add is this players are not capable of handling tense situations even the gr8 like sachin was under tremondous pressure. Mr. More why didnt u say anything about sachin. Is that because u cant wait to complain on Saurav he was the only one who showed a bit of respect and his dismasal was a gr8 effort by the catcher. not unlike sachin and shewag. I dont think u saw the match just be. Intutuing of new players is not wrong at all. But i think it should be step by step. See the Australian in that respect. There team seems to the mcuh like the last world cup except three four players. and they had selected them on basis of there performance not unlike u just on the basis of Money earned by the board by the sponsers.What good did u good in ur time please name one. and others in here i would like to ask did u sincerly felt this was a world cup team. they were so afraid of the people down here that they dint even gave any interviews and right said its just a game. If u really think u r fans of indian team check out the football teams in US and other countries where even if the team is loosing again and agin they dont loose hope nor they show such disrespect. Hope this is Read by our other cricketing gr8s like Sunil and Co. Please stop blaming and please concentrate on the team u have. Also please get us a coach who does only the coaching stuff neither than rule the team.I expect some one like John Wright. And learn some stuff from the South africans the captains are made. Please select a player who can take the team to the next level not on the bisis of performance and the number of matches played.

i have a feelin that ur kiran more or a relative of his.. u have been pasting the same text across.. More is incompetent to judge ganguly, i mean what is kiran more's claim to fame? Nothing.. he was a mere wicket keeper , who was not even counted among the average of his times.. and how can some1 so incompetent rattle ganguly(Indias most succesful captain) by his constant gibs..

Its sad that india did badly in this world cup. But we feel it in our hearts beacause we had great 'HOPES' on this team... i think team india is over rated ... they could play like a dream one day and club cricket another day. Even if india wins the world cup, they cannot be fit enough to b called the world champs as i am sure that they will never live up to da tag of world champs. Look at Australia the title world champs is fitting for them as they play like that almost every time they take the field. INDIAN CRICKET IS KILLED BY THE MEDIA - because they GIVE FALSE HOPES TO THE CRICKET FANS. Let us face the reality !! Team India is an average cricket team, which can bring occasional smiles to the fans. We cannot blame the players, they MIGHT have played to their best.. whatever they can.. we cannot xpect saurav, dravid,yuvraj etc to play like hussey, ponting or hayden. Lets be proud of whatever they can achieve with whatever they have !! DONT EXPECT - team INDIA CANNOT DELIVER !! let this be something you guys ponder over !

just by one game u should not judge a person, have u forgotten how tey used to play,, cmon cheer up,, they need our warmness now..
i think the indian govt. shld invest more on the game of cricket esp. near the slum areas so that the children there would work very hard to get inside the indian team in the future..mr.pawar should visit slum areas in mumbai n donate some balls to this children..so that they can play with them..
