Our team was greatest ever!!! Pakistan and we are the only two teams that Australia have not dominated during the World Cup 2007. If the Indian team had gone till the Super 8's they would have had to come out with six more defeats. But great Indian team came out of the World Cup 2007 with just two defeats!!! Congrats Team India.. We will continue our obstinacy against surrendering before Aussies by not playing them... Let us play Bangladesh, Ireland etc... and let the commentators brag about the domination!!! We will occasionally hire a veteran bragger like Sunny to boast our wealth of cricketing strengths and analyzes of how we are better than Aussies etc... Let the channels do the rest...

This is really very abysmal. It just shows that you dont have respect for your country and its fellow countrymen. Players have played poorly in the World Cup and there is no denying but all these stories have no consequence. We should all forget the past and concentrate on the present so that the future is bright.

Very easy to blame captain, What about other 10 players players%u2019s the lack of commtiment , lack of passion to win/perform, , poor body languge or groupism or petty politics played against captain and coach spending time in crease for sponsers cause, playing for self records, many players think they are leaders and not to led by skipper, superstar attitude .. When a player is playing the biggest event of cricket , players should be hungry ot perform team india lost matches b'cuz batsman let down team.
..??? why ex cricketers and media is silent about other 14 players ??? HAd captain and coach told palyers not to take singles, poor fielding, drop catches, bowlers to bowl so many loose balls to give extras?? . Ganguly played for sponsers not for team If he was playing for team ganguly would not had thrown his wkt by playing silly shot in 42 over after wasting so many balls, ganguly played slowly b'cuz his sponsers wanted him to spend more time in crease. As per news report one of selector got the ad sponsers contract copy and there was diff among selectors to select ganguly for odi series against bangladesh? it was bold decision from board to drop ganguly and sachin It gives youngster a chance to think that if youngesters get out of team for any cause, it will be difficult to get entry to team b'cuz many new players are knocking the team indai's door. and there is healthy competition. team india future looks good. chapell hold mirror for dark side of ind cricket. he tried to push the players from comfort zone, treated all players alike and equal, and his alligation that sponsers play a role in team selection and stretgy is true and many players spend the time in crease as per sponser requirment / conditions marketing agents of players in collusion with media painted a larger than life picture of senior players and would have done behind the scenes harm to the younger players by manipulating media. todays DNA newspaper carried out report that some players have signed the ad commercials till 2010 and nobody in bcci has guts to speak against these players or put them out of team. All ex cricketers are blaming chappell nobody in bcci has guts to remove these players. Today's DNA newspaper carried out report that some star players who had major roel in WC debacle, had singed the ad commercials till 2010.. and these players will be in team and perform as per ad clause...chappell%u2019s alligantion that sponsers play an imp role in team stretagy / selection and also wants the batsman to spend more time in crease. Loss of Indian Team in WC is due to these egoistic rotten heads Many senior players will treat themselves as leaders not wanted to be led by leader. Its great tht even after handing over easy victory by Indian legends(sachin, viru, dhoni ganguly), dravid handed over a bat to Iqbal Tamim. This shows dravid is a true sportsman.

chapell hold mirror for dark side of ind cricket. he tried to push the players from comfort zone, treated all players alike and equal, and his alligation that sponsers play a role in team selection and stretgy is true and many players spend the time in crease as per sponser requirment / conditions marketing agents of players in collusion with media painted a larger than life picture of senior players and would have done behind the scenes harm to the younger players by manipulating media. Most failed captain of a team which has two ex-captains to see that the team always fails in performance, two captain aspirants who conspire with these ex-captains to defeat the team in success, two bowlers who have regional affinity more than nation, two ex-captains from regions playing to galleries of their regions, this is enough to make a good team give pedestrian performances coupled with ad-managers compelling the selection of these duds on commercial reasons than gaming logic DNA newspaper carried out report that some players have signed the ad commercials till 2010 and nobody in bcci has guts to speak against these players or put them out of team. SL team senior players and ex cpatian a re not jealous of mahils promotion as captain, they are in doing any dirty politics In dressing room sl are fully supporting team and captain Ind 2 ex captain superstars would have fought battle on ground of WI rather than back stage poltiics how many names u r using to hide ind team early exit b'cuz of ganguly and gang's back stage politics check the match record of and In WC 2003 ind went to final b'uz of sachin's brillient batting srinath good bowling Not b'cuz of ganguly's leaderhsip qualities like taking out shirt, making opposition captian wiating for toss illtreat the senior players.called sachin a tourist arguing with umpires,yelling at bowlers and fieldrs.. dravid is good captain he started winning 18 odis in chasing and but 2 superstars alwayes make sure team lost and dravid termed as not good captain.

Should Sachin choose between one-day and Test cricket? It is his decision. Of course many Indians want him to play till he's 50. He is a legend of the game, but he can't go on forever.

India played terribly against BD and paid a hefty price. Bd is no match for India as the little monkeys are going to find out very soon. BD will never win another game aginst India in 100 years.

Read this chain..just couldn't replying
1. Not sure why Freek Guy is ascused of not having any respect for the country. I am sure he is equally disappointed by India performance in this world. I would just take that as a fair criticism. Truely India was not dominated by Aus.
2. Players have to ask honest questions tp themselves, what is the reason they want to play cricket. If thats winning more matches for the team, then its great. But if is for moneny and for their contracts deals or just to leave the internation stage in their own sweet ways...then it is high time they leave.
3. Indian cricket is sure in the hands in the worng people now..Well when a board generates Rs. 3000 crores, well they have to be held acountable. If their stand is to do something good for the country, then I would suggest them to hold office in Indian Football, Khabadi, etc.
4. Indian cricket has became a business house, so as long as money is coming in , its running in success. Sadly, cricket is not even in the back street.
5. Atleast I don't think anything is going to happen in the next few years, sadly not sure whether it will ever happen.
6. Sumani said that BD will have to pay a hefty price, but for that to happen, we should do what WI did to us after the 1983 final. We should hit them and hit them hard. Stamp on their chest and put a bullet in their head. Win each and every match which will be played in BD. BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WE WILL ATLEAST LOSE ONE MATCH.

dravid is good captain he started winning 18 odis in chasing and but 2 superstars alwayes make sure team lost and dravid termed as not good captain. dravid is playing for team cause, thatwhy still ahead of these 2 superstars in ICC ranking in oids as well as test. both ex captains are now in news to gain public symptathy team ind early exit is b'cuz of some senior players lack of commitment, negative cricket and 2 ex cpatain's dirty politics in dressing room. Instead of supporting captain, both ex captain undermined his ability and when it comes to take blame for defeat never come forward. Even sachin's outburtst in media was not justified b'czu ndtv report never mentioned a single player name in particular dravid accepted responsiblity but when ganguly was captain he neveraccepted responsiblitly for defeat. When team lost press brief were done by dravid as VC. ricky ponting team is winning game b'cuz no players goes agaisnt team or captain or promote groupism Dravid played under captaincy of sahcin and ganguly, he gave 100% commitment to team, socred runs when team was required against strong bowling attacks under pressure, building partnerships and stayed at wkt to finish match. Dravod dod promote groupism or HE TRUESTED SENIOR PLYERS WILL SUPPORT HIM BUT BACK FIRED BY superstars like sachin bajji, ganguly dhoni, zahirkhan and agrakar,,,, Under tim mody SL is playing superb cricket None of senior player /ex captain m envied mahila%u2019s his promotion as captain From the outset they gave unstinting support. they remained hungry to perform and did not rely on reputation or popular support to protect their places. ganguly's success as captain is b'czu of contributions of dravid sachin laxman kumble and sewag NOT CERTIANLY HIS LEADERSHIP QUALITIES LIEK takign out shirt, making opposition captain wait for toss, yelling at bowlers for loose balls, making funny face on field, argueing umpers etc.. DRAVID ANCHORED SUCCESS FOR GANGULY AS CAPTAIN DRAVID IS PILLAR FOR GANGULY SUCCESS IN ODIS AND TEST AS SUCCSSFUL CAPTAIN BUT SELFISH OPPERTUNIST GANGULY BETRYED DALMIAY, DRAVID SACHIN
