If you don't, then the Champions Trophy exit has been the only disappointment for us this year, period. We have won everything else.
If you do consider T20 of any value, then add to the Champions Trophy exit, the T20 World Cup exit as well, and the 2 T20 matches that we played in our tour to New Zealand early this year.

As for our Champions Trophy exit, we all know how we went into the tourney with a depleted team.

the champions league will be a flop show if ipl teams exits earlier as there is already very less crowd in the stadia, who will watching those non il unknown players, those guys will be playing in empty stadia, all in all, guys like modi are destroying cricket after introducing profesional cricket, if the ipl is between domestic players only, u can c the diff in the indian players improvements, aussies only have six strong domestic teams, whereas india is havng lot of teams, so finding the right talent is a tough task. england team never benrfittd from county cricket coz foreign plyers are in the tournaments, indian board must learn the lesson n must emphasize on cricket, they are just trying to kill the hen to get all the golden eggs
It was a real professional display of cricket, especially the bowling &fielding by the Victorians. And what a joy it was watching their agility and athleticism . Should team India even think of maintaining the top position in the world they should learn from these bunch of professional crickeers, especially the fielding part. If Robin singh cannot produce such a fielding outfit out of the Indian side there is no point of him travelling with the team like a tourist.

robinsingh cannot field on his own players must put effort only then couch can also help them if not indian will only be chasing the ball to the ropes
Poor Gambhir! The game was over when they couldn't even cross 100 runs! They batted really poor. No doubt, the wicket was not good for a T20 match but one couldn't do much about it then. When they had got to know the wicket was not good enough to play their shots, they (opener) needed to stay on the wicket so that a good foundation could be set. But they failed! There, Sehwag must have to learn how to play in these situation. Sometimes, you need to show some respect to bowlers!
Overdose of everything is boring. Same is happening in cricket front. Earlier the trend was to wait for cricket schedules and enjoy limited but quality cricket. Today I think mostly people in betting business enjoy cricket than a common person.

hahaha, Very true dear. After IPL-2 I hve lost a little interest in Cricket. Our schedule is so pathetic that there is no real cricket in next 8-10 months. Only T-20 and T-20! Australia and other teams will play min. 5-8 test matches and india will play a lot of T20 matches in the same periods! BCCI is running after money now. If you'll notice, ourteam is playing only with Sri Lanka these days, touring twice in a year in either tests or ODIs. I can't remember when they had played tests with WI & SA!
