The first thing it always comes 2 my mind is four years ago with the same team (minus Dhoni) we were in the finals... but now out of super 8. What were the changes taken place in the four years?..... nothing. We had tried so many youngsters, strategies, changes, etc. but when it came to the big occasion we retained the same oldies squad? This four years cost us the world cup. Chappell and his team did a lot of experiments in trying out yongesters but there was no one when it really matterd. If this was the situation then why we had tried so many yongsters? we should have only played with these oldies.. make them stonger physically and mentally and then send them to WC. We haven\'t done this nor have we included new bubling yongesters? that is the reason of failure. We made only two changes from last world cup 1) wicket keepr 2) captain... and both failed drastically. What should be done now? These players will not be there for the next WC. Therefor make a yongster captain so that he is matured enough for next WC. i.e Yuvraj. Get back the young team i.e, Raina, Kaif, Gambhir, etc. I am confident we will do better. give feedback

Putting young player as captain is ok, but recalling again kaif, raina, gambhir is not acceptable. First we have to select players from all state,there are lot of talented players in tamilnadu, bombay, etc. we have to bring new players who have more talent and didnt get any chance in the india team. If some new blood come inside there may come good results. I didnt deny of kaif, raina, let them also be selected if they really have that talent and killing instinct and they should perform all the matches, like australian players.
