India needs only indian coach, and kapil dev will be a good coach for world cup team. India can utilise other country coachs for any other series except world cup serial.

Why Ganguly he is doing very much. Only sehwag and dravid to be out

Greg Chappel should be out and Ganguly should be the Captain.
I support that if india won the toss it have field first and be more energitic in fielding and bowling. They can bowl to restrict the runs instead of concentrating on taking wickets by inviting batmens to take mistakes.

No Yuvraj? And you've actually chosen the Flopman Sehwag? He has zero footwork and opoosition bowlers have sorted him out long back.
Replace Sehwag with Yuvraj in the list. The rest seems like a good bet.

The whole approach towards team selection has to be changed. Ganguly was out cheaply in a lot of Ranji trophy matches at the time when he was not playing for the national team. Still he got selected. The same is the case with other senior members of the team also. Nobody is able to perform consistently. Appropriate changes has to be made at the right time. Team selection should be made only on the basis of merit . Our batsmen are not up to the standard and we have to accept this fact.

so you mean to say that ganguly should not have been selected for the Indian world cup team?? India wld have been bundled out for 100 runs against bangladesh then!!! he is the most consistent performer in the past two months, just think before you write anything!!

My dear friend,If Ganguly was selected then why we didn't give a chance to VVS laxman? There are lots of talent in India but the problem lies in not replacing the so called great players with new ones. Selection is based on other intrests.

by Kishore Pancham on Mar 22, 2007 02:52 PM Permalink
VVS is a new player?? who can replace the so called great players?? and to quote you 'Selection is based on other interests' - If sourav enjoys such interests, he wouldnt have been dropped from the team at all.. look at sehwag.. whatever may happen, he wont be dropped, your this line is applicable for him..
RE:RE:RE:RE:Team Selection
by anoop mathew on Mar 22, 2007 03:05 PM Permalink
VVS is not a new player. I suggested him only because you justified Ganguly. Ganguly was first droped because he was not playing well. He was again selected only because of the mounting pressure on a Maharastrian BCCI chief ans selection committe chairman. If ganguly was not selected then the whole blame lies on them because it will be said ganguly's non inclusion was the result of discrimination.

I agree. VVS is a player of true class and he has always been treated shabbily because he has no godfather. Hyderabad has no member of substance in the team unlike the days of Azhar. He was not taken even for the last WC when he was in roaring form.

Ganguly was dropped because his perfomance at that time was pathetic. Even though a person enjoys preference there comes a point when he has to be dropped if he is not showing the minimum standard.
RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Team Selection
by Kishore Pancham on Mar 22, 2007 03:10 PM Permalink
but if selection is based on other interests and ganguly enjoys those favors, why was he dropped then?? and why isnt sehwag being dropped now?? and i have nothing against VVS, he is a champion player.. even he shld be included in them team.. you only took up the VVS issue to defend my support on saurav..
Let Rahul Dravid and team come back to India and prepare themselves for the big event ..... ads. Captain, Vice Captain, ex-VC and others are very tired of not doing any ad during past 25 days. Let them concentrate on the ad rather than India's match with Sri Lanka. Even if they enter Super 8 with others mercy, they have no real chance of competing teams like Australia, South Africa, New Zealand & Sri Lanka.
Captain Rahul and his team really forgot the word called "compete" and now they are looking at all the Dictionaries to find the meaning. Now they only know one word "ad" and in this category they are world No. 1 and unbeatable throughout their life and no one in the world can compete near to them. Simply they are the best in this business.
Rahul will continue to say "ignore fan violence" at home and concentrate on the job in hand i.e. "ad".
Good Luck Men in Blue - You are really making us proud in the above category "ad".

Raghu, Can u give me in writing that u wont do commercial add if u r offered so? It is just that u dont have that mass appeal!!!1 Today they are marketable bcos thay are doing good!!!learn some basic marketing!!! They know why they gets adds!!!even if their main aim would be adds they still have to play good cricket!!! All who r complaining for adds are just hv no brains!!! One adds at max requires 1 day shoot!!!suppose a cricketer is having 20 adds still i guess 20 days off in yearly calendar should be ok!!!! come on guys !!! Cheer them!!!!

You are right Raghu, our Cricket Control Board should take a decision to stop these cricketers to get add. Why they are offered ? Because BCCI has not made any rules for this. Since they are gaining handsome money through add, they are lazy in playing hard cricket. Just playing because they are(Shewag, Agarkar etc.) in the team by their God Fathers. All the problems due to BCCI and our Selection Committee. Irfan and Sreesanth is sitting out to watch the play of Agarkar, a third class bowler compare to them. Everyone is talking about his experience. Nonsense his experience never come to make anything good for India. Let us hope our team will win against Sri Lanka. As a proud citizen of India we can wait for good happening to our team to uphold our country in the cricket world. Cheer our team whatsoever to bring the World Cup to India.
Indian team for srilanks's match 1.Ganguly 2.Sehwag. 3.Pathan. 4.Dravid. 5.Tendulkar. 6.Yuvraj Singh. 7.Dhoni. 8.Harbhajan/Kumble. 9.Zaheer Khan. 10.Sreesanth. 11.Munaf patel.

i agree the with the team compo till 7, 9, 10 and 11. but for 8, lets give chance to dinesh, since the 20 overs can be backfilled by sewa, sachu, irfan, yuvi and dada...

It is foolish to think of this. It is Ganguly who spoiled the match against Bangla with his intentional slow play.

good team! I think Bhajji should be better than kumble since there r too many left handers in sri lanka and kumble doesn't have a good history against them in ODIs.
RE:RE:team for imp match

and we havent seen the dhoni dhamaka yet..suppose if we bat first, let dhoni and irfan bat higher in the order as also yuvi...but if batting second, we need dhons and yuvis middle or late in the line up, since we dont have good finishers...

pepsi and all the other cos. that these guys endorse for; may be they'll(our player models) ask for the world cup as their renumeration as they won't be able to win it by playing and as it is cricket is secondary to endorsement for them.
