This is what this over fed, over hyped team ends up doing to the whole nation! For all the money they get, losing to a team like Bangladesh has shown, what a third grade team level we could stoop down to...Now, all we can hope is that India wins tomorrow, which I am sure none of us have any surety or confidence about. Even if they win so what?, their inconsistency and Carefree attitude has absolutely no chance against consistent and PROFESSIONAL teams like Aussies and South Africa.
Our bowlers have no penetration at all. Most frustrating aspect of Indian bowling is to see guys like Ricky Ponting back in the pavilion, and guys like Mc Grath scoring a half century against our bowlers. God alone knows why we can never bowl out the tail of any team cheaply. Even Bermuda's 9th man scored 30 runs against us...It speaks volume about our bowlers and their abilities.

well said, my friend.. We all love TEAM INDIA and love to see them lift the world cup, but has to accept the fact that the team in the current position is not at all consistent and professional.. All we can do is hope, when other countries like australia and south-africa have a better chance for achieving them..

Our team is good for endrosing commercial ads and make money out of it rather than play and bring accolades to the nation. India doesn't play only cricket we play other games too. But nobody is worried/upset if india loses in other games. Come on Guys BCCI is the most profit making organistaion now and their players are benefitted too. Even after 60 years we are unable to send good athelitcs to OLYMPICS. I always like India to Win not only Circket but in other games. Hopefully times will change and we can witness our players doing better in all walks of games.
