Ganguly put up a creditable show. He continues to inspire players, selectors and millions of cricket lovers worldwide. There plenty of cricket yet to come from the Bengal tiger.
Hi, Sachin was a big let down.I now wonder whether he should be included in the team. I feel he should be asked to play domestic cricket and if he scores atleast 3 centuries then he should be considered for the national team.Likewise all the players who are struggling for form should be sent to domestic cricket and we should try newcomers who have fire in the belly.We should not go by past records otherwise Indian team will be very strong in papers and in field it will be a big let down.I hope the selectors go for form and not reputation in selecting the team in future.
The Indian team is a bunch of losers who get one or two good performances and then use that as an excuse to perform pathetically fro the rest of a series or even a year.
Despite an incredible number of people playing cricket and fans supporting them, they are pitiable.
No dedication. No perseverance. No patriotism.
Only issue is "how can I suck out as much money as possible from the gullible fans?"
Shame on them and shame on us for blindly supporting these jerks
The positives from the tour are Srisanth's bowling and Dinesh Karthik's batting.Zaheer,Kumble,Saurav and Laxman enhanced their reputation while Dravid and Sachin were a big let down.Less said about Sehwag the better.Even sadder, nobody from the coach to selectors had the guts to drop him despite his woeful form, in form Gambhir was let warming the bench.An unfit Munaf had no place in the final XI. Ajith Agarkar would have been more than a handful in such occasions.Let's concentrate on the World Cup now.Pump in new blood.Don't go by reputation go by form and a fierce will to win.

Hi, I agree with you.Sachin was a big let down.I now wonder whether he should be included in the team.

We have a strange situation in hand.The team has performed much better than any in past so far as Test cricket is concerned.The effort in ODI is most forgetable & Board to politely ask Sachin&Sehwag to take break of 1 year from International cricket.The absence of both besides sacking of Munaf,Harbhajan & Irfan will make others take playing for country seriously.Media is unnecessarily making too much of Ganguly's return.They should allow him to enjoy his return to Indian team without acting as his agents(I hope Aaj Tak & Star News correspondents with 0 cricket knowledge will take note)

you are 200 % right my dear friend. The media is not allowing Ganguly to enjoy his return. And what you told about Sehwag, I absolutely agree with you.

Forget about media. The less we talk, the better. Watching the analysis on these TV shows is like watching a C- grade movie. I am sure there will not be many changes in the team as world cup is coming up . Players need to rethink their strategy and should play with positive attitude. This was the main reason for the loss.
