the lil man with big mouth comes out and now says its coach's fault that team india did not do good. BcCI should be abolished and all the fat cats should be banned to be anywhere near cricket. A country of 1-billion and we have problem putting out 11 men. it is a shame. guess what they did to make any changes...............none. same useless bunch is sent for next matches. and u see all the fat cats walking around as if they have won the world. indian cricket is mired in red tape politics. i am sure without politics u can probably pick up many times 11 men in a single large state or city. India should have 3-teams of 15-men each. all 45 players should be under contract for very good income. anyone who makes the final fifteen from them for a series should be given a making bonus as well as performance bonuses. No one will be automatic for any series. secondly, change the standard set by british that the captain controls the paly on field. play on the field should be coach's responsibility like any other sport in the world. and during series keep bringing up the names of good players (out of 30 not on the team )who are doing well and would be coming in to next series to keep the pressure on the number one team. I say pay them lots of money but do get something back not just slow walking idiots who could not make a living without someone politicing them

well,all the people in this discussion are abusing gavaskar.I am not a great gavaskar fan but i see logic in gavaskars points.Greg is the worst thing that happened to india.Irfan,shewag and harbhajan completeley lost their way under greg.I am not sating that greg didnt offer anything .But his minuses are bigger that his pluses.We dont care if gavaskar is selfish and inefficeint.But bottomline is we fared badly under greg and thats rthe truth.Indian cricket is shambles and i am sure gavaskar is not responsible this.Instead of abusing our own greats we should all give some comstructive suggestion reg how to improve our cricket

Lack of commitment, fighting spirit, negative body language, playing for self recores, to cement place for next matches, sponsers, poor fielding, trying to expose each on the field, promoting groupism etc.. Has coach told instructed for all these??
chappell's big mistake was he treated all players alike, equally and push the players from comfort zone. many superstars were taken their placed for granted....
winning and defeat depends on performance of XI players on the field irrepective of coach, captain, pitch and conditions.
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 theanguly and sachin should have fought battle on ground rahter in dressing room both may successful to get rid of chappell but both players may not play WC2011
