Yes, Mr Dravid its a collective failure of your Spineless and meek captaincy,politically biased selection of Mr Kiran More and egoistic decisions of Mr Greg Great Chapell.Please dont blame any other things.
This tour of West Indies where the so called world record holders -India were almost white washed by an ordinary West Indian out fit has exposed the Men in Blue.
It has proved that where an ordinary,inexperienced WI side can raise its game to prove wrong the remarks of Mr.Chappell--The Indian eleven fell apart like a pack of cards.
The Indian cricketers should seriously devote more time to the game which is their bread & butter than doing commercials for cold drinks,jams,watches etc
According to my Opinion that is Bowler S. Shree Shashant is a worse Bowler for India Cricket Team. His begning to end he never infulece his bowling attack of opposition Teams Batsmens. He has A worse Strike Rate He also has a Worse Economy Rate. He also has worse condition of bowling manner But he has only how to tackle a batsmen who hit him hard or out of ground or in the boundary..
I am from Bangalore, India, I am happy that West Indians have won the ODI series, by beating India under the captaincy of Great Brian Charles LARA. Indians are known only to make politics and favour people who do not deserve. LARA deserves all appriciation along with Tall man Gayle, RN Sarwan,and Brave Bravo. Congragulations to the side WEST INDIES on theie great Achievement.
thats all you can do now. Dravid what about this performance Prem panickar. the same cycle has started that used to surround us before Ganguly became captain. We win in india and lose even to struggling teams like West Indies outside our country. However, se have won against Srilanka in ODI's and England but has to share the test trophy with a DEPLETED ENGLAND SIDE. Nobody can convince us that West Indies can give a semblance of a fight to Australia, SourthAfrica , England and even New zealand and look what they have done to the Indian team. Where is DRAVID's form ? He alongwith Chapell conspired to remove Ganguly who was a great One day batsman and a good Test batsman (not great). I still do respect Dravid's batting but seeing what he has done to Ganguly he has the worst to face. And you bet he will.
Sorry, it is not Collective Failure. It is the failure of the two characters: Dravid & Chappel. Indian team is the most talented and these two failed to harness the full potential for the talented team mates.
Team India is back to where Azharuddin left. Lost the match & series and ate the end of it, make some remarks like: "the team collapsed", the top/ middle order collapsed quickly" or our bowlers / batsmen let us down. And also at times "it just was not one of our days".
Neither does Dravid's show of false courage nor Chappel's middle finger will help India. If these two remain in Team India, then the whole team will become like Bangladesh / Zimbabwe & Kenya.
Throw these two out before they become Cancer-like.
