the way the "so called INDIAN TEAM" played and has been always playing has proved tht they do not play with any zeal to win a match for the country.they shld b named a PEPSI TEAM OR a COCO COLA TEAM.they r earing in lakhs and no one has tht killer instict to play positively.
the only way to make right these things is to shed watching cricket matches.the way the spectators turn out for the matches has been enthusing the sponsors of the game.it is nothing but a waste of time for both who watch and also for the nation.
let people from other games be supported and u cld see them winning.this cricketers earing in crores has no zeal to play and they lack tht killer instict.they r just playing the game for money and nothing else.
the way they surrendered to pakistan has been a real insult to all of us.
The Indian cricket team is in deep shit as seen in the one day series and its perforance over last two years.
Very few players in the current team would find place in the team if the selection is based on the form alone and not nostalgia. We have the world's so called greatest batsman with 10000 runs in almost both forms of games who cannot win a single match on his performance alone like Afridi did. Rahul Dravid is like hero honda splendour bike when we needed something like RD 350. Sehwag bats past 50 once every 8 games which is not good enough. Then we have the style bhais's - Ganguly (lucky to be in the team ) Yuvraj(less on talent more on attitude), Mongia(no talent no attitude), Dhoni(too new), Murali Karthik(rocknroll bowler), Laxman(passenger). The bowlers are equally bad.
The team needs to have talented youngsters who make themselves count in the game and not in the advertisements. The team should do away with have beens like Tendulkar,Laxman,Ganguly,Yuvraj,Nehra and get new blood in the side.
The Indian teams thrives on its past glory. The entire team must be changed in toto and young and talented players must be offered opportunities to play for India. Or else the disastrous performance of the Indian Cricket team, we saw today will continue.
What have the Ganguly detractors to say about Indian team's performance in the last two one day international matches against Pakistan ? Who will they criticise for the loss in these two matches ? Do they smell any wrongdoing by Ganguly that cost us the last two matches ? Whom will the Indian cricket spectators/fans boo henceforth during the presentation ceremonies ? Do they still think Ganguly is cause of all the bad things and failures in Indian cricket ? Will they ever bother to give Ganguly the credit for some success achieved by Indian cricket in the last 5 years ? Will the knowledgable Ganguly detractors ever learn any lessons ?
Only Mohinder Amarnathji can explain what the match-fixers really achieved by meaninglessly fixing the match in favour of Pakistan. Neither could they highlight the non-redundancy of Kumbale nor could they completely sidetrack Ganguly.
Rahul was waiting (publicised by HUTCH mobiles) throughout the series. When his turn came, he turned out to be a disaster. I still maintain that we are sacrificing a fine batsman by making him captain. He has to resist the lust for power at top. A topper at school does not mean that he will become high class CEO of a company. Critics must be now finding difficult to find the culprit, as Ganguly is not present. Thank God, selectors did not ask him to play at Delhi. First of all idiots like Bedi should be debarred from speaking at public forums or to media. During his tenure he was termed as "ROLLER" by one of the respected commentators of AIR. Even this dude is now speaking about modern one day cricket.
Great players like Sehwag and Tendulkar and so many and all the team should not be excused. And what about the moral, this team is demoralising the Indian viewers and cricket fans. Why this team is playing and wasting so much Indian money. I think they should not be paid a single rupee as they are looking forward for only advertising business and not team performance.
India's cricketing heroes have given a fitting farewell to John Wright- a massive defeat. Unfortunately, the next series is a good six months away, by which time public would have forgotten about the Pakistan series. It would also give our bloated heroes some more time to get some commercials under way. The next series is in Zimbabwe, an easy trip for Indians.
Ganguly will be back, after all Dravid also performed poorly as captain and Ganguly cannot be made a martyr of Indian cricket.
I think it is time that the entire team is revamped along with the next coach, get some more bench strength.
