read somewhere 2-3 days back abt shoaib being approached for icl n now signing ipl? what is going on. shoaib n other players r giving both ipl/icl hopes for their joining n ultimately joins the highest bidder from ipl / icl?
my tips to U/19 team players.: shift to mumbai and start playing for MUMBAI in ranji teams. benefits: 1.Selection is automatic. 2.One gud knock=50 Matches. 3.Commentators like ravi and sunny will praise highly for that gud knock and wont highlight for ur failures in 50 matches. 4.decent money through advertisements is assured. 5.ur place is guaranteed in the team for atleast 10 years.

Have you tried to get into mumbai team? Do you know the competition in that team? Have you any idea how many mumbai players shifted teams to get chances in ranji in the last 10 yrs? Please read then talk.
Its a shame,if a team cannot bat outfifty overs n chase a small total of 203.dhoni backs up youngsters,where there is not experience.if they perform in 1 or 2 matches they fail for 10 matches. there should be experience in the team..sropping rahul dravid and saurav ganguly for 50 over match is a very big mistake.you cant just depend on ne comers like rohit sharma and uthappa to steady the partnerships in the middle.and even yuvraj is out of form. bring back ganguly and dravid.if they were here in the team, theam wouldn't have lost like this. its like shame for entire country.

India have lost matches iwth ganguly and dravid before. Please remember what happened in the series in india.
what we need is amature captian with experiance.what do we do;;push dhoni with hardly any exposure to be the captain and see what has become of yuvraj,shewag and the elders.why continue with these worn out players .why not change the whole team with youngsters so that loosing will be good and winning even better
If they loose against Australia under the following circumstance.
1) Restrict Australia below 200
2) Draw a Match against Aussies
3) If any indian player gets involved in a verbal dual let alone what his performance is
4) If they win one match, it is ok if they loose 4 matches.
5) Indian team has lost the test series and the 20:20 match but it is a moral victory for Indian team
Aussies are raised to fight in sports and only victory is important to them.Look at the way they play Cricket, hockey,Rugby they are the world champions,Even in Olympics they end up winning more than 10 Golds.
People please get it right it will take India 50 years to be at the competetive level of sports Aussies have

Agreed Buddy !!! Indians are too obsessed with Indian cricket.. in ODI they are ranked poor 4th, If Indians get one victory against Ausi ,they think they are world beaters!!! Dhoni should be dumped as Captain and recall Kumble as Captain of ODI,include Sourav in the team!!! Indian cricket is going to dogs due to BCCI goons who are corrupt politicians & businessman , More corrupt & barbaric than kidney racket Kumar

Ya, Include Saurav we will be number 1 in ODI. Why did'nt any one think of that?
Dhoni is doing what he said before the tournaments. 1. He wanted fielders not batsmen. Batting is not required. ( This is visible in teams pathetic batting) 2.He making a team for 2011 worldcup. So winning in this touranament is not necessary. ( That exactly team is doing by loosing) 3. He found such an important tournament to experiment with less experienced players for prepartion of worldcup, where senior players like ganguly & Laxman at their full form and it is there last tour to Australia. (Ganguly,Dravid & Laxman needs a respectful treatment- Last time in 2004 tour Laxman scored 3 centuries) Then why btendulkar is in the team.... 4. As for his words and the performance of the team it seems like , they can afford to loose all the matches and tournaments for the sake of making a team for the worldCup. 5. As per Dhoni they are making loosing a habbit, so that till the worldCup players have experince of LOOSING nearly 100 matches each. So that nobody will expect anything from this team and they will loose the worldCup also. After that they will still be considerd heroes as nobody expects them to win. Then team should goes on another process of making a team for the 2015 worldCup
