ganguly is main culprit for defeat against bangladesh. He is politician he his supporters played negative cricket deliberately to defeat the team and humiliated dravid and chappell. there is groupism and more politics after ganguly's return to team. He played for self and scored consistanly but not a single innings was not held for team victory. Hew as playing silly shot getting out when team required his service. His innings was shaky
Except dravid and yuvraj nobody has shown commitment.How can these players are commited to team??
Harbajan singh went wktless in 2 matches
sachin being VC failed with his bat
ganguly wasted more balls than the runs he scored. His poor fielding and poor running wkt and unwilling to take singles cost more runs to team Yuvraj Scored 47 runs in 10 overs
Rest of team scored 50 in 19 overs
Against burmada he scored 89 in 114 balls wasted 25 balls that is around 4.6 runs per over... compare it to the indian teams average of 8.26 Ganguly was struggling while batting against burmuda, and got 3 lifes
IF some players are not readyt o commit to team but not support captain and team why don%u2019t blame the individual players?? If the other players are not ready to listen to the capt or the coach, what will the captain/coach do about it?
A captain is as good as his teammates if captain has be remved then all the players should be replaced by youngsters. Some members deliberately played negative cricket and ppl blame dravid for poor captaincy and praise ganguly for his agression
Team India lost WC capaing Bcuz of lack of team spirit All palyeras were responsible for it
In last WC 2003, Sachin batted briliently (scored 33% of total runs ) helped team and took team to final but he failed with bat this time. Ganguly success is b'zu of hardwork of sewag, laxman kumble and sachin dravid. not b'vuz of his leadership quality or aggression. Kumble was illtreated but he bowlied to his heart when he got chance in last WC
ATLEAST NOBODY DITCHED CAPTAIN AND TEAM AS THE WAY GANGULY AND SUPPORTER DID THIS TIME
But this time it is ganguly ditched the captain and team played a big role in defeat.
If coach and captain should be removed then all players should be replaced
dhoni failed with bat
Zahirkahn was wktless in firest match and in he took 2 wkts against SL but he gave more extra runs b'cuz of erratic bowling.
Sewag selection was criticsed by board memebers and chief selector, was highest rungetter, and scored 100 and won mom.
excepat Yuvraj and dravid nobody committed to team ganguly played petty politics and deliberatly played negative cricket to team india defeat

you sachin's fans go to any extent in blaming someone else for the fault of your hero! what a shame! grow up man...
You need a brainwash from this sachin mania.
Just see what is being said everywhere! Even his die hard fans agree that it was only in sharjah against australia that he performed for the team when it mattered most.
Now compare that with ganguly:
1) he was the guy to hit 100 in test match against australia played in australia
2) he was the guy who won natwest final
3) he singlehandedly won sahara cup twice for india
the list goes on. he brought new meaning to team india...
sachin epitomises all that is wrong with indian cricket... he is meek and submissive.. never puts up a fight.

Honestly I cannot understand why you are up and against ganguly... For that matter of fact compare his last 7 innings to any indian player innings he has a better score and average. Against Bangladesh he is the top scorer for india.... If you say that ganguly has a bad average against bermuda against the team average, boss wake up, to score 89 runs and create a platform for others to follow is not that simple... you saw the match against sri lanka after ganguly there was a collapse. Honestly i congratulate sri lanka on their win, The field placement was perfect... Honestly when sri lanka scored 250... i knew that india was out of the world cup... with the inital start the bowlers gave... our captian became complaisant in the later overs... see the quick singles... i didn't notice anybody taking quick singles in the indian team.. Jaywardne never let indian's settle down. we played sri lanka's game not ours and we lost. Dravid is not having the spirit and passion to be a captian, he let the sri lankans get away by allowing them to score 250 with the initial bowling displayed i thought we will contain them to 200. By the way if ganguly had stayed on the crease we would have won the match... but viewers like you do not have a fixed opinion... in one way you say that he played a rash shot, which was for scoring (i think you forget)... and secondly you say his average is not good... decide boss what you want him to go after the bowling or play sensibly without taking too many risks. In fact i feel that Mr. Sachin Tendulkar the master batsman in the world got bowled is a amazing... If it was a catch or even LBW i can understand.... Bowled is a shame... it shows the defenses of the little master... it is high time that he hung up his boots and start looking after his restaurant business.
WHAT IS LACKING IS MENTAL FITNESS, THE EAGERNESS TO PLAY FOR THE COUNTRY, THE PASSION, TO STAND UP AND BE COUNTED. THIS IS WHERE THE COACH AND CAPTAIN HAS FAILED COMPLETELY BECAUSE THIS IS ONE AREA WHERE INDIA EXCELLED IN PREVIOUS CUP. I DONT THINK THERE IS ANY MAJOR LACK OF TALENT OR FITNESS. LOOK AT HOCKEY OR ANY OTHER GAME. INDIA WIN SO FEW. SO FEW OF US CAN WIN ANY INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION. ONE NEEDS TO BUILD UP THIS AGGRESSIVENESS AND FEARLESSNESS. ONLY THEN CAN WE THINK ABOUT PROPER COMPETITION.
A country of one billion people bows their head down to a country once they liberated. The cricket budget of Bngs is probably one thousand times less than what we have. It is high time for our Govt to divest the money from cricket and invest to other areas that would improve the life of our fellow citizens.
I totally agree with the author what he wrote. Having appointed Chappel as our coach, we should have given him a free hand. When Chappel-Dravid duo took over, Indian team was on a roll winning each and every series convincingly, till the WEst Indies fiasco.
About Dravid as a caption. He started well in fact. When we played aginst England at home in Mohali, the test was petering into a draw, but Dravid and his men brought out a fantastic victory on the 5th day. Having tasted the blood India went to Mumbai with five bowlers, five batsmen and keeper. He rightly chose to bowl first with the idea of skittling out a depleted England side, perhaps under 200 and then knock up 400 or 450 so that India need not bat for a second time on 4th or 5th day. His decision was absolutely right, but for dropped catches. As many as eighteen catches were dropped and Englishmen flourished and turned the table against India. Dravid attrached a lot of criticism for his decision, but I fee with five bowlers at his command he did the right thing. Once bitten twice shy, Dravid was apprehensive about his all decisions from thereon. Most of the cricket fans think they know cricket better than the Dravids, Sachins and Gangulys. Such criticisms through media influence everybody,including the BCCI and the cricketers are forced to be on the backfoot and tread cautiously. We cannot expect a flameboyant attitude from our captaions as they are watched and criticised for every movement they make. And the sad part is that most of those criticise are just arm-chair critics with no cricketing background whatsoever and with little knowledge about the finer points of the game.
If at all Dravid has to relieve the captaincy, it is honourable for him to retire gracefully than continue as a member in the team.
Do players of the experience of Tendulkar,Ganguly,Dravid,Yuvraj need to be taught how to get their basics right.What have they been doing all these yrs.Earning fat pay packets/endorsing anything and everything and carrying two hoots for their game.
What we have is a team full of star studded, selfish, self centered, egoistic players who rarely perform as a team!!A victory here and there is the only thing they can snatch and that they assume( and we too) as ultimate glory.
Sachin is well past his prime, but NO he's not going out that easily - no one has the guts to get him out of the team !! So he will continue to embarass us for more time to come.
The scapegoat here would be GC, and also RD - but doesn anyone remember how good RD was as a player in crunch situations which after his taking over captaincy is now doubted.For some very good reason, he was called the Wall but he has erred as captain...accepted.
I still cant believe that we are out of WC07. But what went wrong? My takes:
1. Dravid may be a dedicated cricketer, but may not be a good captain. Sometimes he looks meek, cowed. When he set into field probably he always find him in a one-man battle. It has a reason, when no one supports u and u can not engage ppl in a right way
2. Stardom and Cricket, can never go hand in hand. A player should be treated as just a player.
3. Selection based on perfermance, not experience. 5 years ago, U may be a gr8 batsman, so what, U dont perform now, so there is no reason u be in the team.
4. We are bored to see old gricket geeks like SRT, sehwag, dravid, gang, Bhaji.
Lets bring some new faces, let give some chance to new talents, who cares if we dont win next WC, but atleast we change the static customism in the game into fluent dynamism..

Point No.3 is IMPORTANT.But that would not possibly apply to Sachin after all who has the b*** to drop him.So let him continue to embarass us!!!
yaa,every one is in frustration for indian team performance in caribean.things need to be done by BCCI now is not to select senior players like sachin,sourav against week tame tours.just select those players for when team india played against south africa or australia.but never select them against week teams in the wolrd.
if possible kick out sachin first then sourav also.sourav needs to constrate on ploticis rather than cricket.he is good politiciant than cricketer.If possible Keep dravid as captain.
otherwise give captancy for yuvraj with the condition for two years bond.don't distribue him for two years.but not make sachin as a captain.if selecors needs to think of india
immdetailtely drop tendulkar.send dhoni to play for ranji and making modling.he is unfit for outside subcontinet pitches.he got centuries in india and pakistan.he never got good scores outside subcontinet.select dinesh and parthiv patel if possible.
AS finally we need good cricketers not good models.
instead of sachin select kapil again he will play for india again. if possible selectors do that immedaitely.

In SA it is sresant, dinesh karthick, pathan won match and won mom against WI series sachin won mom and mos
only agaisnt the Sl ganguly won MOS after six years but zahir khan won mom.
Ganguly deliberately played negative circket and ditched dravid and his supporters played a big role in defeat
Harbajan singh went wktless in 2 matches

can't say about poltics or groupism or deliberately underperforming. But, he was struggling against even Bermuda against whom all played fluently...

Yes Suman, by watching the performance of Ganguly and Co. it seems, it was a team effort to defeat Dravid. There was no reason why India should lose to Bangladesh and Srilanka. It was a conspiracy hatched against Greg and Dravid.
