Team Balance
by svwarty on Aug 13, 2004 05:59 PM

India's team balance for the one day games is not right and that is why India does not win the one day games.
Dravid should not keep any more and it is time to build for the next world cup. It is also time for Ganguly to retire. He is now an opinionated Captain and that is not good.
India has to take the next step forward.

NEED TO GET BETTER : DRAVID SAYS
by S K TALWAR on Aug 13, 2004 05:11 PM

These no good cricketers should give up going to SPONSOR SHIP shows and concentrate more on playing to win..... Talking at such functions is the work of a incompetant team player.The team of our country has nothing more to show than their own personal gains apart from a few decent honest ones like Sachin. The Board should ban advertising .... media should not discuss that the lousy captain is getting his hair coloured.

Vinod Bhatia,
Rahul Dravid's jinx
by Vinod Bhatia, on Aug 13, 2004 05:06 PM

Just look at all the finals. One thing is common.The approach is of over defensive and thje captain is too rigid to try new options.Having 7 batmen and still not chasing is just like walking with a scooter which is full of pertol.If you want to break the jinx, go for the kill from the begining (and Tell Master Blaster to play his natural game). Saurav is somehow not allowing Sachin to play his natural game.Mr. Dravid and Mr. Kaff are the sort of players whose hits generally go the fielder if they try to hit above the head of fielder. I still rate today Dravid as the best bestman in the current team and Irfan as best bowler.Do something at WK slot also.

hoping on hopes
by Rajat on Aug 13, 2004 05:00 PM

What does rahul mean by saying, hopefully we will execute plans in future? As a professional team, India should be better than just 'hoping' to execute plans. Rahul i request you to go and tell ur skipper that first of all India is not even among the top three teams in the world by any yardstick, so he should stop proclaiming our team to be Second best. Moreover, there is no point in being second best. Either u're best or u're rest.

Dravid's comments
by K. Mallick on Aug 13, 2004 04:43 PM

Repeated losses in the finals are painful. What are needed to win the match, to me, are as follows:
1. Players need to be full of enthusiasm
2. There should be smiles on the face of the players
3. Remember the enthusiasm and smiles of Sachin when he took the wkt of Sanat Jayasurya in the first encounter, so also the bubbling smiles on the face of Sehwag. All these lacked in the final. As a sportsman we may lose at any time, but why not give our best like the last over of Zaheer to defeat Sri Lanka. Man's resources and energy are infinite. Tap that energy to the last drop.
4. Once we start criticising the strategy like batting order, bowling change, field placement etc. the main objective finds a diversion and the co-ordinates of the destination are lost.
5. India has right now a bunch of great players, and can reach great heights. Let the team members enjoy their game and be smiling

Asis Cup Final !!
by Vikrant on Aug 13, 2004 04:16 PM

I feel that this team will never or ever again will win a World cup for India if they continue to play this way. It clearly shows that the current Indian team really lacks motivation & fighting spirit at crunch situations in finals. We should be happy that Indian cricket team under the leadership of Mr. Kapil Dev are the all time best Indian team ever because they not only won the World cup finals in the year 1983 against the mighty Windies but also followed it up by other consective final wins.
