If our players like Yuvraj yawn big time on the field, somebody should investigate what he was doing the previous night. Spending time on the dance floor, or in the bar or the restaurant or walking on the Caribean beaches or ..... , late into the night, when there is a match next day morning.
Heard on TV last week that our players were seen walking in the corridors of the Hotel at 1.30 am in the night, when they had to report to the ground, next day morning for the match.
Sehwag, understand from the media, during his last South African trip, didnt even bother to be regular for practice.
How disciplined are these players and do they listen to anybody and the rules put up by the Manager, Coach, etc.
Stop blaming Chapell and discipline the players first.

Mr.Krishna, you have not interpreted the larger picture. When players yawn on the ground, when standing in the sun and playing a tense, must win match, there is something wrong and somebody should investigate, what they did the previous day / night.
As per medical terms, a yawn happens when you either didnt have good sleep the previous night or your body is tired. Both shouldnt be applicable to any player of any game, if they have prepared mentally and physically for the next days match. I dont think our players prepared mentally or physically for the match against Bangladesh. Their body language was so bad.

Hi everyone, Everybody is searching for reasons for the India's debacle in the WC. I think that the chairman of selection committee Mr.Colonel is more responsible than anyone. Remember.... he is the one who leaked the news that dravid insisted on sehwags inclusion in the team when they are embarking to WI. He should have released this news after the india's campaign in the WC is over (who know india would have emerged victorious but for the pressure created by media based on colonel's remarks). Releasing this news put unnecessary heavy pressure both on sehwag as well as dravid. BCCI did right in taking serious exceptions to these remarks of Mr.Vengsarkar. Also, Pathan should have played in the WC in place of a batsman (Uthappa), since he could have scored as many runs as Uthappa scored and had also strengthened the bowling. OK agreed that he is out of form in bowling but who knows on the seaming wickets he could have succeeded. This is the fault of tour/team management. Hope atleast now we come out of regionalism and support the indians. Also I request not to support the media because the pressure created by media and sponsors is also one of the biggest reason for our team's debacle (early exit) I also request all the indians not to watch/purchase the products endorsed by the indian cricketers and PLS. DONT SEND ANY SMS/TALK TO CRICKET ANCHORS/GUESTS TO THE CHANNELS SO THAT THEY CANNOT GAIN ON OUR HARD EARNED, PASSION FILLED MONEY.
