Right ! These BIG three with there bing egos had a lot of negetive effect on the team and it showed. There were small groups within the team and it did not behave as a unit. The captain was not confortable and the team not performing. Just leg-pulling going on.
Just looking at this young team in the absance of the big guys said that its working as a unit and enjoying being out there. Hats off to guys like yuvraj - who took dhoni's appointment positively and performed well. I think its high time these so called "stars" are shown the door - at least from non-test teams.

Mr. Sunny you are right partly but you just can't ignore the seniors. Different format of cricket requires special talent to play.True this young blood is a good thing to see in this 20/20 format but will they be able to cope the big games like tests and/or odi's? Yes they can be brought in one by one while seniors are around and they get some valuable advices from them too. Congrats to whole Team India and our people around the world for giving the support for India.

ya.....Which of these young guns can fire consistently in 50 over and test matches...Who has the endurance, the ability and the capability to hit test hundreds.....Cricket is not about blasting all around the park for 4 overs.....To betray greats who have more than 40,000 runs in between them deserves to be treated with the highest contempt. The so called Uthpassas and Shreeshanths cant perform consistently for 2 matches....And the less i say of the substandard Joginder the better....His balls were virtually running away from the batsman....The fact of the matter is Miswah just dropped the cup into India's lap.....But, for once luck has favoured India in the final

there are lots of differences between 20-20 & 50-50, remember great Indian trios are still in form & they are fit enough to perform atleast for 2 more years. see Aussies, Hayden Gilchrist are all senior fellows....... dnt they have flashy performances. I accept that youngsters should be given opportunities, ofcourse its must. but it should not be under the price of senior experienced INFORM players. still we can offer chances to youngsters in rotation basis.... along with the inform Indian trio... dnt forget the knocks sachin & ganguly played in England.
