what a pathetic performance
by D.Seetharam kumar on Apr 18, 2005 12:51 PM

hello prem,
This is really ridiculous!, for , the indian team not giving up to their talents.

My sincere request to all indian cricket team fans, please do not encourage indian cricket board, and indian cricket team, unless, they change their attitude and dedication towards the game positively.

I'm not having any words to speak about the defeat by indian team. It's really curse to watch the match.

Please, atleast now, the indian cricket board has to take extreme steps in regulating and formulating the team and make the indian team strong enough.

No more excuses this time any more for indian team!!!!! nor to the indian cricket board. The board is completely comprised of fluke selectors and so as the players to be. It doesn't even have it's own official website till now, where the minnows like bangladesh board has it's own official website.

It's really waste of time to talk about those fluke fellows, be it indian crickets, or selectors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

poor performance by indians
by R.sridhar on Apr 18, 2005 11:54 AM

No doubt india failed to show their class just losing
the final one day match. The have to improve their
batting line up especially in the middle order. Why
should we need player who is not even scoring runs
consistingly. Just drop sachin, yuvaraj, ganguly,
mongia none of these players are not atall in form.
We have to take 15 from india A team that too all
rounders. We do not have to depend on with the
existing batsman or bowlers. Just take 7 to 8
youngster who shaolud be a all rounders. If india
needs to win in the forth coming matches, they have
sack all the old people and bring good alrounders.

Indian Cricket ...........
by Girish M on Apr 18, 2005 11:51 AM

Its really disappointing to watch Indian cricket nowadays. India has players who most of the time think they are superstars. They all have good averages which most of the team winning doesnt boast of. But whats the point in having individual brillance when it doesn't serve the team to win. Just take example of the 6th one dayer against Pakistan. They knew chasing 300+ would not be very easy on a detetiorating wicket but still went for strokes right from the start. Couldn't they have scored at 5 an over and then when they had wickets in hand, try to score more than 5. A case here is when Pakistan successfully chased 300+. India have plenty of stroke makers in the ranks Sehwag, Sachin, Dhoni, Yuvraj. All these players dont like to score in 1s and 2s for long period say some 10 - 20 overs. They always believe in scoring 4s and 6s. We just hope they will put some common sense to work before making harakiri.

ODI in Delhi

Dear Prem,
It seems that the Indian team Selectors need to re-look at there way of thinking and need to take drastic steps to re-structure the team. The problem with the Indian team is that there are too many ins and outs at the same time.
In my suggestion that they should select 25 to 30 best possible candidates and put tham through vigorous training and keep rotating them from time to time as in the case of Australia. No one in the team is should feel that he is indispensable. Unless otherwise proved by the person, by form and performance. A lot of money time and emotions of the more than 135cr Indians is at stake.

INDIAN CRICKET TEAM
by Jayan on Apr 18, 2005 11:10 AM

My kind request to the Government to stop cricket for a couple of years from here on.. If you assess, because of cricket, billions of rupees and manhour is lost... neither the employees are working on the cricket day nor the student goes to school/college.. If at all we are dreaming for a developed country by 2020., we must stop playing cricket.. it is not only required for the betterment of the country but also to the other sports.. can we imagine of a gold medal in olimpics?.. it is just because of cricket.. No other sports are coming up because of this nasty game ... no other game has so long as cricket.. past 3 months if u take an account of lose., u could imagine how cricket is damaing India.. and the end of the day we are losing.. that too with whom we should not.

Cricket put down 1.2 billions people morally and emotionally. we shouuld not tolerate this anymore. how chinese are getting 100s of gold medal in olimpics., because they are more concentrated on commitment and want to become the leaders.
cricket otherwise as well for poor countries game..B'coz they can afford to sit the whole day and watch tv. The world is ridiculously watching India for its cricket diplomacy
