there is no future for inidian cricket. just by luck india reached finals in world cup. whole team depends on tendulkar.in lower catogary matches also yongsters are not doing well. all these things are due to influence and politics.we are very backward in bowling and fielding departments. we are not equal to the present world champions in any departments of gamethey play in the time of need. but india only play for thier personal records. i hope here we need to think of thier selfishness.

Yes, this is an honest assesment. What has VVS done after scoring 281 against australia. And after his knee operation he is not the same player. What do you say of a guy who score just 120 runs in 11 innings even though he was a part of India team whey they toured West Indies. VVS is a liability now. Indian selectors should look ahead now.

With all due respect to Laxmans 284 against aussies,his batting in the recent months has at best been mediocre let alone his fielding.His omission from the WC was his own making...and the selectors are not be blamed for canning him.I dont think your very very special laxman would not have made any difference against the aussies in the final.
Ashok Malhotra is based in Calcutta. So, as you can understand it's not regional politics, but plain performance talk. Gambhir and Chopra played brilliantly.
