I think India needs some new thinking wrt the bowling and fielding coaches. Possible fielding coaches: Jonty, Bevan? Possible bowling coaches: Akram, Waqar, Lawson, Hadlee, Ian Bishop, Walsh, Ambrose, McDermott, Gillespie, McGrath
Pak lost their match willingly to Aussies. It was fixed, with so many wickets in ahnd Pak could make only 205. Then they bowled badly in begining of Aus innings and pretended that they were fighting hard in the end. ICC should cancel that match and India is in semis.

Yes, Pak lost their match willingly to Aussies. And Pak won their match willingly against India. So you want ICC to cancel both the matches???

Don't blame Pakistan. First learn to play like the champions they are then talk. An Indian team full of wimps & pansies how can you expect anything good from them? Pakistan which has been out in the cold for almost a year came back to win T20 World Cup and now they are in the running to win the Champions Trophy. Great guys!! Indian team learn something from the Pakistanis instead of whining about them all the time.

Last time at Asia cup India lost to Sri Lanka to prevent Pakistan to advance in the finals later due to Mendis performance India lost in the final. Its pay back time!

They've been playing too much cricket in recent times. They all look so jaded and worn out. It is high time BCCI starts supporting a bench strength of at least 30 world class players who can be rotated to give players their much needed rest.
it is good India did not qualify for semi final ..........as it would be not hard work but luck if India made it to semi final as sri lanka captain said he do not want the net run rate to reach the semi final
a game that has been reduced to a farce; the only benefit is to the players who swing senselessly and know that they will collect a cool lacs in any case. this is not a sport anylonger but only a money spinner.senior playeres not ashamed to play under the captaincy of a novice like dhoni?????

So, what do you suggest? The same Dhoni had brought home the T-20 world cup 2 years ago. The demanding fans are a handful indeed!!
I think that this BOWS OUT is just an eye opener to us. Few points are there need to be focussed on:- 1. Why to call Dravid as we have got the payers like Manish Pandey( Only Batsman scored a hundred in IPL)whp has got the potential to be world's No.1
2.We need to understand that Virat Kohli is only a below average batsman like Ravindra jadeja who is required to play some more domestic criket before entering into internation team. 3.We have got a very solid bench strength which should be used if want to nurture those talent

There is no doubt that Virat kohli is full of talent and he is very young so we should give him some chance and i am sure he will be superstar for the future. i have seen from last two years that Dhoni comes to play when we don't need higher avg, so he can take his time and go slowly and finish his 50 and then he leave rest of work for UV, Raina or Yusuf. he is killing Raina's ability.

Our So Called Team India lost because there were no Bollywood Stars present at the venue.
