when chuppal calls suresh raina a star then he only proves how ignorant he is about cricket ...it shows how he has no idea about cricket .......i agree this was not the best team because sehwag was bribing chuppal and dravid half his ad money and harbhajjan was doing the same..thats why they went for WC and the chuppal and dravid duo had the shamelessness to allow them to represent india in that condition ...but if he was not happy with the team then WHY DID HE NOT SAY IT EARLIER...these ***turds are taking bribes on top of that they are cowards also

chuppal needs a solid thrashing infornt of the TV camera ...take his clothes of and make him dance infront of the TV camera...he doesnt realize that his coaching has completely ruined indian cricket ....it has had a devastating effect on India as a Brand in the world stage he has insulted 100 million indians ruined our self pride ....if his mothers milk was pure and not mixed with drain water then he should have resigned as coach before world cup and said i am not happy with the team so i resign ...and he is so shameless he is still not taking responsibility and blaming the Indians ....seriously take his pants of and spank his behind 100 million times before the TV cameras

India will play well against Bangladesh and all the people will start praising the players again. Just to convince people there will be 2 or 3 new players and all the senior old horses will continue to create selfish new individual records.

i think this time Indian fans would have learnt the lesson well that the Indian cricket team is a complete crap team.

never. Indians usually have very short memory. all that this team needs to do to get allround praises is to allow Bermuda to tour India for a 3 ODI series and thrash them. Money, name, fame, ads, lavish praises, demi god status will automatically follow.

Well said renu, cud not agree more wid u. People like sachin, ganguly play only for personal records. They do not care for the team, with regards to ganguly he's the most selfish, the most jealous player ever played for India. And with sachin, he has never ever played and won a match for India, when the team desperately needed. Time for all to go. I still believe RD should continue as captain and a young team should be given to him.
greg chappel should not be blamed for the debacle that india faced in world cup.it is true that he got some players in merrit of their good books with the bcci.ganguly,sehwag and dhni are of no good and they should be shown the exit door.let chappel make a team his way..vengsarkar,pawar should not interfare wuth that. greg could have helped indai in much better way had be given free hand at what he was doing.

nobody had been interfering with chhappel till we lost (U have fotgotten) weztindies series 4-1, in singapore tri series badly, s. africa 4-0, champions trophy very badly in home conditions - just to remind a few. sucess chhapel had seen or showed was in consistent brilliance of individuals like yuvi, dhoni etc. chhapel has not rectified the minor problems of players biut just divided the team by making them feel insecure

ganguly and sehwag were the weakest link in the team and chappel did not want them
WHATS THE POINTS IN DISCUSSING HELL LOT OF THINGS WHEN INDIA CAN NOT MAKE 250 RUNS?????????? ALL OTHER TEAMS ARE MAKING MORE THAN 300 RUNS EVERY MATCH. THAT MEANS THIS IS A TOTAL BATTING FAILURE FROM INDIAN SIDE.!!!!!!!!EACH EVERY BATSMAN HAS TO BE TAKEN TO TASK. THEIR MATCH FEE MUST BE FERFEITED FOR NOT PERFORMING. AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
JUST BECAUSE INDIA LOST THE MATCHES, PEOPLE COME OUT OF ALL SORTS OF STORIES. ITS ALWAYS BETTER TO STICK WITH A PARTICULAR TEAM RATHER THAN KEEP ON CHANGING. PATHAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IN PLACE OF AGARKAR. AND KUMBLE SHOULD HV BEEN BETTER IN PLACE OF SARDAR. NOW WHO IS GOING TO TELL ALL TO THE CAPTAIN AND CHAPPEL. INDIA SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED WITH THE WINNING TEAM AGAINST BERMUDA PLUS PATHAN INPLACE OF AGARKAR. YOUR SELECTION CRITERIA HAD BEEN FAILED MISERABLY IN THE WC.
Let it be any coach or player, INDIA has never been/can never be constistent. Take any game INDIA has never been dominating, they won matches in patches. So dont take them personally. Just enjoy when they win..

Well said! Consistency requires hardwork, determination and courage. Our seniors don't want to do that and juniors are not allowed to settle. Murky game of Indian cricket and sadly Tendulkar is getting drawn in it!
Chapeel was a Coach and not a selector. He has to coach what ever is given to him. He cannot say that i shall coach people whom i want. But he was responsible for creating bad atmoshphere.... No i thin BCCI is the boss and they are responsible for all that has happend for last 2 years. So Now Powar should go to baramati Chapell to Australia Let This team less Harbhajan, Agarkar Remain. This is the only practical solution. Make fast pitches. You cannot have a formula one winner in India if you donot have facilities. And to provide facilities was the job of BCCI and they have miserably failed there. BCCI should be handed over to a corporate body.

Chappel can't teach how to hold the bat! Not everyone who was coached by Sania's coach became Sania Mirza??

BCCI should be handed over to a corporate body. Players should be selelcted based on current performance, not on the prevoius performance. There should be too much experiements, have two stand by plan. If one fails other should used.
