Despite being the richest Board in the world the BCCI can not induct players into the team who win matches for India. It is so embarrassing that our super rich cricketers are beaten by a lowly Bangladesh and humiliated by Australia. The reason is simple: We do not play to win. Or else how would one explain the inclusion of physically unfit players in the team who run out of steam in the middle of a one day game? Sachin Tendulkar did not take field at Chandigarh after scoring a half century that too while India batted first. Saurabh Ganguli was out our breath after scoring a half century at Nagpur and refused to run between the wickets. Both Sachin and Saurabh were an embarrassment on the field giving away extra runs whenever the ball went to them. One fails to understand why Dravid played six matches when he simply could not put bat to ball. A bigger shame is that these so-called Big Three have not contributed to winning any major One Day Series for a long time now. And on the other hand the young brigade has won India the Twenty20 World Cup. The BCCI would do the nation a favour by dropping the Big Three from the shorter version once for all. Let%u2019s play to win matches for a change.

winning 20-20 is nothing, as Yuvraj says in the above article-"Twenty20 is just entertainment for the batsmen and the crowd, it is nothing more than that."
Wake up bhai, this is cricket, its asport which if you have only watched on tv, you cannot understand...

For a brief period of time Sourav had an affair or something of that with actress Nagma..! :-)
Sachin and Dravid - agreed... they have never been in any kind of controversy...!
I think that taking off the contract system is the best way to revive indian cricket... It shld be play and earn money... there shld be some base pay and rest of the things will be proportionate to performance!!
RE:HEY DRAVIDIANS, CAN YOU JUDGE THE SELECTION OF DRAVID IN CURRENT INDIAN TEAM WITH CURRENT FORM?

BTW, Dravid is not a DRAVIDIAN!! He is a Maharashtian Brahmin!
Almost all our players are youngsters. We are bound to go up. Contrast this with Aus. Most of its players are above 30. Today, they may be fit. For, how long?
