if captain performs well all the players could do better if captain countionously fails to perform how he can assist to his young team-mates. we have seen a lot of talent in youngsters sehwag, yugraj,kaif, dhoni,pathan if they r assisted by seniors then they can perform well. the seniors of indian team should given rest and their seats should be given to youngerones like the team of pakistan 2years back and captency has to be changed in first instance.
I agree all of you point out at batsmen. Can some body look at harbajan's performance in the series . For a front line bowler only one wicket in all the matches. I think we need some managemnt student to analyse the figures. Is this spinner needed inspite of two disastrous series?
I think time has come for us Indians to look beyond cricket. One cannot fully blame Ganguly for defeats in finals but on personal front He's lagging far behind. It would be good in the interest of Indian cricket that Ganguly should give way to younger talent. The place in team shall be accounted and not demanded by citing old glories.
A lot depends on the leader and if he is not performing, he has no right to tell others to perform. With what face and guts can he talk to his teammates. Can he say that I used to perform so many years back, so now its my privilege to reap benefits by being as a consistently non perfomring captain.
Under Sourav, 12 matches mein se 9 haare aur ek jeeta phir bhi log kehte hain ki sourav is the greatest captain. It seems that these people are being paid by him for saying so. Enough chances have been given to him and if he has some loyalty left for the nation, he should not play. Is Sourav reading this?
I am sure that he has enough money and opportunities for earning his livelihood.
It is really dissappointing to see india lose in the finals. I think india is not a talented country. We struggle badly in sports be it olympics, hockey, cricket etc. we have a very poor record in sports. What can be the real reason?
In recent times, India have started loosing consistently in all finals that they have played. My contention is that, India wouldn't have made to the finals had the third team been a bit better. In almost all the finals that India has played, the third team has been a truly third grade team and hence India reached the finals.
Should we play in a more competitive environment, this problem would be solved and India wouldn't reach the finals in the first place. That leaves Ganguly and company in peace, for they won't have any problem to solve.

We always had no choice to select the fast bowlers so do I and we still need it. My request to my countrymen,media and Indian team selectors to think about it.Thanks
My request to my coutrymen and media and the Indian cricket team selection committee is that why can't we choose a balance side in which the 11 members can bowl and bat a bit.My question and advice to selection committee is how long that thing will be there of paying bribe and promoting people who have less potential to perform for our country.We always talk about allrounders and in present Indian player lot none is better than Ajit Agarkar who always was sidelined because of expensive bowling but he constantly picking wickets for India.But other expensive bowlers starting from srinath ,prasad,kumble they get away with there poor performance why can't we give permanent berth in the team to such talent that has potential like A.Agarkar,D.Mongia,M.Dhoni,G.Gambhir.I personally will prefer them than likes of Laxman,Karthik,balaji,nehra,kumble,V.rao,Raina,Sourav Ganguly.Indian team lacks in each and every department compare to any other present team.Why can't we bring in Ajay Jadeja like the south african,Australia,Sri lanka bring there key players in the team.Present Indian team don't need specialist spinners as they are not taking wickets from last ten years of international cricket.
