let anil kumble and sachin tendulkar go to their native places and sell nimbu pani.....especially kumble who has been a curse on aspiring spinners like RAMESH POWAR....sachin toh is beyond criticism....give the captaincy to sourav ganguly and let dravid be indias best batsmen....rest of the problems will solve themselves....

The way SA and Australian players are playing, soon Indian team will be like Indian hockey team, will play for qualifying to the qorld cup. If you see those teams, we are way behind in any sense, batting, fielding or bowling. They have shown that only due to good fielding the matches can be won and we have shown just the opposite, snatching defeats from the jaws of victory. The need of the hour is drastic changes otherwise soon it will be like Indian hockey. Once upon a time we won so many olympic golds...

Onething everyone of us constantly overlook is the fielding skills of our players. Fielding always takes back seat! How can you expect great fielding from Sachin, Ganguly, Kumble and all when they all old and well past their prime? Just look at the game between SA & AUS, both of them fielded very well. Compared to them we are a couple of centuries behind! The only good fielder is Yuvi and not to mention his fielding skills are no better than last one of AUS. How pathetic is that?
So time to look at future and bring in young folks.

SA..has the most brittle batting line up..It will be xposed in a few days..Watch out. look at Pollock..He is beaten out..Sorry for SA... Regarding Powar as a bowler, there must be a LOT OF better Spinners in other places..He can not bent & pick up the ball. (I am sorry Powar..I should not be taling like this..But It is a fact).

very well said pranav, i feel that Ramesh Powar was a must in the team, everytime he played, he has performed. Sachin was pathetic to get out to two ordinary deliveries that too trying to defend.

I agree that powar should have been in the team. But why in the place of Kumble? Powar should have been in the team in the place of Harbhajan. Harbhajan is an overrated fool who should be kicked out.

I am great fan of Sachin atthe same time I felt very bad that he couldnt deliver his potential when it really matters ? Mental Strenght is one thing that Indian team needed at this moment . we have potential, but our players need mental strength, "Yes I will win this match ". Our players should have this attitude that I will win this match.. perfect example, look atthe way Shewag got out, he was very setteled, he knows his team and cap need him to stay on the middle, and HE KNOWS THERE IS SLIP FOR THAT TYPE OF BALL. indeed he played that shot........

I think you better go sale nibbu pani to their house. There is a limit of humiliation. Just imagine you were also player in the present team, when you are in the field would you like to losse to a team like Bangaladesh. It happened, I think none can be blamed, it was mere luck to Bangala. Just wait and watch How other teams will bang / tare Bangala.
