I believe we need not sack anybody, the huge embarassing defeat is a good lesson learnt.
I suggest we move everyone senior - Dravid, Ganguly,Tendulkar, Kumble,... into the Test Eleven. Seniors may not like it because of the loss of endorsements, but they should consider themselves lucky enough not to have been sacked completely.
Move the youngsters led by either Yuvaraj or Sehwag into the One-day Eleven. Give them at least 3 years to play and grow in confidence. This way will give a good time for youngsters to prove themselves. I have no hope that we will lift the World Cup in 2011; but will definitely put up a better show.

Atleast he could bat.. unlike the so called greats and reliables..."the captain" with the same team and the worst performance as a player and a captain... Mr Rahul Dravid.

comeon man in last and most important match, he was only man standing waiting for his batsman to play it out. U should be blind for blaming him for poor batting. He is the captain tht doesn't mean, he has to bat for 11 players ....just look at the reality ..none of the player had the zeal to stay in world cup. ganguly is getting warm welcome for creating havoc by batting slow against bangladeshi team. look at any team openers batting so slow against these bangladeshi team. for ganguly and tendulkar they looked like brett lee or shohib akhtar i guess. Even in that game singles started coming in when dravid came to bat....u guys are just hero worshiper don't won't to look at reality

did you say- he was the only man standing-gooood we don't need batsmen who can stand, we need batsmen who can score and we need captain who can take good decisions and motivate India to win
