I hope the batting collapses every match so that we stop being obsessed about this incapable, filthy rich, undeservingly popular team and focus (read channel our money) on other under-funded sports programs. We still have to win a Gold medal in Olympics since 1980 and there are sprinters from Kerala who still have to work in banks to pay their bills. If a well-achieved youngster like Kutraleesawarn has to quit his Sports career and go to USA to do Ph.D., we, as a nation, need to rethink how over-appreciated this bunch of cricketers are.
NO, tendulkar is not at the begining of his end. neither is Ganguly. If at all the begining of the end, it should be of Chappel. And Rahul dravid was hopless in his captaincy.. his body movements showed nothing encouraging or taking the fight to the other end.. If ganguly were to be in his place he would certainly had displayed his abilities, strategies and fought till the end... Dravid gave in meekly. So, if any one is to be removed, it should be Chappel, Dravid from captaincy.. he is a good player. reinstate ganguly as captain. continue tendulkar. see the team winning. abhay
it's time for our past champions - sachin & saurav - to be relieved of their national caps...they've served the nation well, it's now time for them to retire.
and as for a couple of others , like agarkar & zaheer, enough chances haven't been sufficient for them, it's time that they were sacked...period.
bcoz of we have already 2 to 3 specialist openers then why should rahul dravid is going for opening?
if he will go for opening then why the selectors are selecting the specialist openers and in the mean time they are not playing, sitting in dressing room?
they should play for india consistantlyin their place and if he failed then what happened?try for 2-3 series.
i never seen rahul dravid is opening for his ranji team, also laxman ?
onething is that if you r selecting sourav ganguly then why not u r trying him for opening?ohhhh, sorry you are just selecting him bcoz kolkata people will happy? and he will not playing in the matches? thats good.
one thing more abt greg chhpal(i know he is chappel)
experiment is good for indian team but dont applying in the serious matches where india's people are hurt?
best of luck to indian cricket team for the england series. we all know if you are playing to ur potential then no one can defeat you at any moment.
Though its rare to see Indian cricketers quit when they should and are often forced to leave, one expects that a living legend like Tendulkar will break the norm and exit gracefully.
I personally feel that though he has been the Grand master of the game,he unfortunately will also be remembered as some one who rarely stood up to the challenge, when it was required the most. We have all seen this umpteen number of times, that whenever team India is in crisis Tendulkar gets out meekly.
I think this has been going on for long now & its high time he vacates the place for a more talented and more deservant player. Whether he does it or not only time will tell, but should he choose to drag on like other former Indian player's, his criticism will only increase manyfold.
The board management should decide of the fate of Tendulkar.After all the loss of match means the loss of pride of nation.He should be fired off.Other players should get the entry in lieu of him.He is really a liability of team.His bat never clicks when the urgency has come.This is true.
As great a player as Sachin is I think he should be dropped, I think he has lost his motivation to play cricket, dropping him from the national team might get his motivation back
One has to remember that Tendulkar is playing after a break.Also If you notice that the bowlers are aiming to bowl at the hip or the elbow during the current and Srilankan seies.Dont come to conclusion that it is an end of Tendulkar carrier.He will definitely come back and prove his genius. I request all to keep silence on this issue.
