The future looks bleak....
by bharatwazi on Nov 24, 2006 01:25 PM

Last year the indian fans were ga-ga over the wins the team had at home. At one point we looked as if we are the best team to chase a total in one day cricket and everyone became an ardent fan of chappel and a betenoire of ganguly.
Among all the wins we had in India and Pakistan over the last year and while even Gautam Gambhir was in form and scoring centuries by the dozen, we lost a match against the visiting south africans at the Eden garden in Kolkata. The curator had left a little bit of grass on the pitch and More and Chappel were real upset about it. Well we haven't had another cricket match at the Eden after that. But thats another topic.
The in-form chappel coached , Dravid led team lost to the second string south african side by 10 wickets. Had the indian fans analyzed the situation then, they would have been better prepared for the world cup.
Without Laxman, Ganguli and Zaheer India won't even reach the world cup quater finals. Forget about winning it. And Chappel should go for the good of indian cricket.
