In cricket, such batting collapse by even the best batting side can happen once a while. That is what cricket is all about. It has happened with almost all good teams in the past. The screaming and ranting hour after hour , 24x7 by the TV news channels is a typical Cricket reporting, trying to score some brownie points on one another.The sports presenters and news anchors non stop reporting on the matter with panicky expression on their faces as though the world is going to come to an end in the next few hrs is laughable and only shows how little they understand the game. It is time they learn better cricket reporting.

Its all about cricket, these things happen every now and then. That doesn't mean its luck. Luck is always needed. if u say like this, then every team wins by luck. no buddy, they have to sweat out there and work to win. If someone says, you are here(wherever u r) with ur luck, how would u feel ? try to understand cricket. and if u knw it already, try to think again....

not luck actually, India only win those matches when there was bad day for other team,means coz of other team bad luck,.
don't make harsh comments on Indian players, let them play their game,bad performance in one match can't tell that this team is not a good team, just wait n watch

Those who say good team to india,may they don't know what is meaning of gud.... gud meaning consistency in anything,,,indian team is not consistent
Why Laxman batted at no 4 yesterday? Lasy year after scoring double hundred in Bangalore, Ganguly said he missed lots of hundreded because he didnt get opportunity to bat at number 4. Then why he stayed back yesterday? He thought Dravid and Laxman will absorb all the heat till lunch and then he will score some runs on easy wicket?
There is no point in getting angry.The fact is many teams have been be allout of such low scores in the past. It happened to India also. The fact one should look at is ,when ever india tried to include a player not for his performance but for the following factors 1.His star power ,Image 2.Once in a while good scores in the past 3.feared abt the reaction from his Fans 4.Hype created around the player The selection unstabilised the team and resulted in loss(Example sacrificing batting order to include yuvraj and he contributed single digit score coming at crucial positions,Continuing with dhoni when he is not good against quality bowlers and in seaming wickets,he cant score huge runs but tries more to survive) The worst treatment ever meted out to a player was to Pravin Amre ,A qualty player who scored a century on a pacy wicket on debut. Ganguly appers to be disinterested and its time for him to retire gracefully. Give a chance to players like Kaif and Dinesh karthik

is this the place for you to tlk about your desires that too urine smell and all. this is a cricket forumn and just look at the kind of messages posted here. disgracefull
just check dropping MSD could make you change the team structure like anything.Could play with 3 spinners and 5 bowlers in all having a wicket keeper batsmen opening the innings.Moreover he is a good batsmen against some quality seam bowling.Kumble ji and selectors, please have a look and re think of the team structure.

If people not performing, why should they be in team, whether it is Sachin or any one else? Give the chance to new player. Don't you think by drpping MSD, India can solve the 7 batsman and 5 bowler problem? If he is your favourite! so i am sorry.

Dropping Dhoni I do not agree with, however I do agree with Karthick's inclusion in place of Jaffer. JAffer was selected which raised the eye brows of many. In the entire Australian tour he was a failure and in t he last 11 innings he failed in 10 of them i.e. not even able to pass 20. The only success was in the Chennai test which was a placid track where he scored 73.
76.3 Kumble to Kallis, FOUR!!, third wrong un, overpitched way outside the off stump, Kallis comes on the frontfoot and leans into the shot, drives it to deep extra cover, chase for Ganguly and he gets there in time, lazy effort in the end from him, doesn't bend down and lets it through the gates, poor poor work, Kumble is absolutely livid
