The selectors should have the guts to say that Tendulkar & Ganguly were dropped. All these days they have got enough rest. If the idea was to rest players then it should have been after a few series has been played in the new season.
When will the BCCI take necessary action like preparing sporting pitches. When is the last time that we have performed consistently abroad on lively tracks. The self proclaimed best batting line up has always failed in big matches. Look at underrated players like Jayawardene, Styris, Hogg, Tait etc. They are not superstars but they are performing when it matters. If the Indian batting is the best in the world why does it play 7 batsmen. India should have the guts to play 5 bowlers. It is a real shame that the Indian fielders can't match even Bangladesh in the fielding department.

flaming was captain for 10 yrs and even last time kiwis made it to semis but failed reached fainl He did not realise that time
Sl are playing like unit and all players are
supporting and performaing for team cause not for sponsers or self records
same team was defeated by ind team 6-1 when team had no politician super player in playing XI
some superstar senior players betryed team
captian and millions of fans by playing
back stage polticis
senior players let down team and major role in early exit of WC
politicsVery 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 ..
dravid played under sachin and ganguly captaincy and gave 100 % commited performance but trusted same from senior players and backfired by sachin, ganguly, dhoni bajji zahir and yuvrag%u2026..
While India's players blame their recent poor form on e coach to a sense of insecurity to captain, the plain truth is this: When it really mattered, India's batsmen failed to deliver.

Why you are so jelous about Dravid.He is such a nice guy and if you have some solid reason then criticise; i think yours is a habit to criticise good people. This is not the matter of chamchagiri. Please avoid criticising each and everyone.
