All the retired cricketers - Kapil, Srikanth, More have lined up to criticize the team, selectors and Board. But reality is Indian team performance was same or worse when these guys played. Even before our team went to WI they were 5 in ICC one-day rankings so how can they the world cup? In the past few years they were loosing tournaments whenever they played outside the sub-continent. Did Australia or South Africa won only on their home pitches? If India wins in the sub continent credit should go to the stadium guys who make the pitch flat and suitable for batsmen. BCCI in their greed to sell telecast rights have made our team play more in India. The next blunder is in selecting team, the barometer is centuries for batsmen and wickets for bowlers. Do they see how confidently the batsmen attacks the bowling though he scores less than 50? This is the main reason we have less match winners but too many record holders in India. Sunil Gavaskar himself played four world cups, but was he ever a match winner? Atleast Mohinder Amarnath, Yuvaraj Singh in few matches turned the tide and made India win. But they are not super stars like Gavaskar, Sachin, Dravid or Ganguly.
