The reasons for India's poor performance in the World cup can be summarised as follows: 1) Chappel- There was no harmony in Indian team.This happened when there was a clash between Chappel and Ganguli and it continued. 2) Poor Captaincy - Dravid is always found to be lacking in ideas. The batting order, bowling changes, motivating players, showing the way as a leader - it never happened. 3) BCCI- Timing of taking appropriate decisions was very poor. 4) Kiran More - He was a puppet in the hands of Chappel.He neither identified proper talent nor he had faith in Senior plyers (barring few). Seems to have some peronal problem with Ganguli!!!

indian team is like a house. if one brick(pillar) falls then the entire house collapses. their attention is more towards advertisement and less towards cricket. if they say that they gave their best shot in the world cup then they are wrong because there is no way that bangladesh can ever defeat india if all indian players are 100% dedicated. there are definitely certain periods of time when everywone working as a team or individually do no perform up to the mark . maybe that phase was during the WC for indian team. never mind. indian team has a lot of potential and all is needed is a strong and mentally stable coach and captain. LETS HOPE THAT INDIAN TEAM WILL DO WELL IN FUTURE....
