I witnessed both the One dayers played at Sabina Park Jamaica. Some of the Players who are representing are not of world class, based on the IPL performance if the team has been selected then the selectors have made a big mistake, IPL is a Club Cricket, none of the players take the games seriously, where as representing the Nation is totally different and players are more committed that's why you8 must have seen players who did not do well in IPL did very well in ICC sponsored 20/20. Jadeja, Rohit Sharma,are not world class batsman/bowler/allrounders, who can replace the likes of Rahul Dravid, Laxman and take Team India Forward.We have a weak bowling side except that of Harbhajan Singh and a very weak batting side except that of Yuvi & Mahi. Even the 1st one dayer we won narrowly and the 2nd one was a foregone conclusion after the first 15 overs when we lost 8 wickets.
Dear Mr Dhoni instead admitting everytime try to learn from mistakes your excuses are comman everytime we are watching cricket just to get explanations

Stop watching common man and earn bread for your family. Or start playing cricket and show how it is done. Whining is not good enough.
Why don't BCCI allow ICL players to play for india like what PCB did. There are some quality players like Hemang Badani, dinesh Mongia, rayudu are available. BCCI is systematically ruining indian cricket because of its egoistic attitude

hahaha nice joke..Badani and Mongia ...current team has players which are way far better than u mentioned..
And a wrong decision to bat first.. He knows from the T-20 fiasco where they clashed with West Indies that his batsman lack the capability / techinique to handle short pitch bowling and How can he say he cudnot read the pitch? He knows that West Indies will always make that kind of pitch with heading of every odi.....

Where was the problem against short ball in second match ?. Were you sleeping when the match was played ?. The problem was that players played swing with contempt and paid for it.
the article headline instead of pay respect to the w.indies bowlers it should be through the indian batsman out ok u ask the windies bowlers, what they say jus bounce them out. if u start paying respect u wont make 100even nxt time.instead make a stratgi how to smash

Your comment makes it clear that you did not watch the match. It wasnt short ball, but swing that was the problem in the second match. Which is why showing respect was needed. If we showed respect to new ball and played with care for 6 overs, we wouldnt have been in the hole.
Just one good performance by Indian Team.. All will be L I C K I N G their feet. This is Indian Mentality...After all CRECKET IS RELIGION and PYAYERS are GOD.. what say

One bad performance and people like you will call for their head. Indian fans like you are immature. what say ?.
after world cup loss, we went to england and won 3 out of 7 odis out of which sachin scored 2 90s and one 70 in 3 matches we won.
next pak came and india won 4 out of 5 odis and again sachin scored 290s and one 50 in the matches we won.
next cb series finals, 117 and 91 in finals.65 in the qualifying league match and 37in the only league match against aust we won.
then we have been only playing ipl ( ofcourse we won against lanka ). all ur criticisms against great players have been solely based on T20 format.
but anyway sachin haters dont like him even though he has contributed in all indian recent victories because he has not won world cup isnt it? so be happy even if we lose now because dhoni will win world cup and so even if we lose all matches now keep praising rohit sharma,yusuf pathan,raina,gambir,jadeja ( consistency pathetic) and wait for the world cup till 2011. u all should laugh now because according to u winning world cup is the ultimate thing for which u have been hating sachin for long

Don't worry Raja, Sachin is great and the whole world knows, except few cricket challenged minds. His recent performances as you mentioned it, stands him well above the rest.
Re: Re: sachin miss u

ROFLMAO. Sachin would have left early on 0 on the swinging wicket. His recent IPL performance was phenomenal as we all saw. OMG that was funny.
