This Indian team has talent but they don'nt believe in themselves,then how can we believe in them?Even though they got thrashed in the final i like the 2003 team much better.Now,there is no see excitement, there is tension. There is no confidence, there is hope.There is no attitude..there are 11 men looking in 11 directions.The 2003 team was a "team"..gone is the huddle,gone is the soul,gone is the attitude,gone is the self-belief.This is the same India that was before Saurav Ganguly took the reins.The Indian teams lacks the fighting spirit that he has.Now its just him and Yuvraj against 11 men armies.Why Bangladesh?Even Bermuda will beat India,if the other don't chip in..and chip in well too!!

Except yuvraj no other player showed the commitment or application for team what Bangladeshi player exhibited thoroughout the match. it is not only captain even allother players are also responsible for the defeat. If ind did not loose match all players would come forward to take credit. When defeated every body blames others. It is ganguly who wasted 63 balls to score 66 runs out 129 balls strike rate 51.16. His batting was shaky from beginning to till 44 th over of innings. He was not willing to accelerate the run rate, putting pressuer on other batsman,. His poor running between wkt and unwilling to take quick singles, convert 1 into 2s and 3s , team lost 20-30 runs.Even though he was highest run getter, ganguly A well settled batsman thrown his wkt by playing some silly shot and getting out after wasting sony balls? that the attitude shown by ganguly put a lot more pressure on sachin,utthappa,dravid n others. ganguly just dint seem to accelerate his innings did not help tem but scored runs for self, ganguly is responsible for team low scoring and defeat.dropping 5 catchess and poor fielding and 2 bowlers ajit agarkar and harbajan went wkt less

rahul dravid is paying a percentage of his earning to this fool i think....or he is from some mental hospital...and i am sure rahul dravid is paying for his expenses over there as well....just to write foolish blogs....you dirty wrotten fool....can u remember the position india was in SA before sourav comes back......or dravid didn't allow you to see those matches??? hahahaha...the players rahul relied upon dooomed him always...like raina,benugopal and now sehwag...how will this fellow continues to be the captain?? when he can't judge the potential of a player?? how many players have come up after sourav quit as captain?? and as far as dropping catahes dravid has dropped 1 too... and as far as strike rate is concerned go you will find at least 70-80 matches reahul played with strike rate of 51..in this match too his strike rate is 51...before he became captain how many matche you remember he hit a six??? now as he is captain he is hitting six regulayly...u can well imagine who is the politician??? rahul or sourav???

actually ganguly should have started attacking after settling in.
His records against minnows are excellent 40 % of his total runs come against minnows.
He stuck to wicket... He stuck to wicket... He stuck to wicket...
Then he got stuck...very very slow...
Can you gurantee each time Dravid scores Ganguly also scores.
one of the settled player should have taken attack to opposition. Which Dada failed....

yes i agree with you that ganguly should have been played more agreessively....but everyone have been out after being settled....then why you are blaming only sourav for this defeat?? rahul dravid is a poor captain...it's time that you must agree to it...he should have called sehwag long before he did..and as far as ganguly's record is concerned...go and check his records against SL, PAK, SA,Eng,....then you will see that he didn't onl;y score against minors.....see the record books before you comment

If you know cricket , then u must know that Gangauli was playing the sheetanckor role in this innings...specially when others were not willing to stay on the wicket. The same thing Dravid did for years and is called the WALL..........But whats the problem when Saurav does it... Reply.....
