The Barry Richards,Sunil Gavaskars and the Eziekels had better stop doting on this team of "has-beens"... Today's Indian performance, thanks to Ganguly's utter lack of... imagination,leading-from-the-front qualities,as well as any prowess at batting,bowling or even fielding...should go down as India's worst performance against a SA team full of "tenderfoots", will rank as the WORST in its cricketing history... Stop it Gavaskar,whom are you trying to please by continuing your praise for a Team,better known as "One-DAY-Wonders"...who cannot repeat their "once-upon-a-time",excellent performance,on one particular day... We need to "Go back to the 'drawing-boards' as they say..." and begin REDISCOVERING our cricketing Talent...most our present "toppers" are well-nigh down the hill...and need to be retired... They have amassed enough wealth for may be two generations,and therefore DO NOT HAVE THE NEED TO PERFORM...! STOP PAYING THE CRICKETERS A LOT OF MONEY...YOU'VE EXPERIENCED HOW YOU'VE SPOILT THEM...! !

This is in reply to the message of Mr. L.V.Rao posted on 20th Nov..
I don't think it would be fair to blame our players every time they under perform...after all they are humans and not machines. Therefore, they are bound to have lean patches...this is one of those hard times...let us back them or else keep calm but not demoralise them.
Let us not insult the GREATS of Cricket like Gavaskar and Richards...they have experienced enough themselves to be able to comment...After all Gavaskar is the best opener ever...he was just trying to remind people like you what the Indian team is capable of...we shouldn't take that as justification to their current performance...DARE TO SEE and ANSWER ME WHEN THE INDIAN TEAM EMERGES OUT OF THIS SERIES UNBEATEN.
