Most of the times Indian Cricketers and selecters become complacent after winning the series and have often lost the opportunity to crucify the opposition .GG has right attitude so ahead and go for the kill 5-0 is better than3-2 or 4-1 but let the ball and bat talk.Good luck and remember Bangaldesh have done it - if you can not do it - it reflects your inability than NZ ability.

Correction. He is aiming for a cleen sweep which shows his confidence in his team and not overconfidence or arrogance in himself. He has not specifically suggested that he would win and show !! That would be overconfidence or arrogance !!

I am always says that India will win over New zealand one day series by 5-0
Gambhir Kohli Yusuf Pathan Yuvraj Saurabh Tiwary Parthiv Patel Jadeja or Rohit Aswin Zaheer Praveenkumar Munaf
I don't think we need to give Rohit a chance because he anyway doesn't stand a chance to get a birth for the WC.(though that's the case with Tiwary too!) Now onwards, whatever experiments we do, should be centered on the team combination for the WC. My team for the WC would be this: XI: Sehwag, Sachin, Gambhir, Yuvaraj, Dhoni, Yusuf Pathan, Harbhajan, Aswin, Zaheer, Praveen, Nehra. Extras: Munaf and Sreeshanth, Pragyan Ojha, Suresh Raina and Kohli. The only problem here is that there won't be a reserve wicket keeper.

ojha wont make it. May be we should have tried robin uthapa as ke could also be our reserve wk and can push into the side as a batsman too.

Gambir made this statement after 3-0 series win. So naturally he is aiming for 5-0. Its not overconfidence. Its setiing the new goal. If before 1st oneday if he has made that statement you can say that as overconfidence.
I critic need to be sensible, not for the sake of criticism to pass some comment.

Trying for the clean sweep is not over confidence. If you don't try you wont win...Indians need to get out of this "fake" humble approach. I see that on reality shows too...it's ok to be confident. Besides his statements are all in the favor of the team...showing you are humble is based on not giving yourself importance...giving the team confidence and importance is not a bad thing.....what are you afraid of ? Losing ? If you are always nervous you are a loser already. I dont think he is being arrogant or over confident at all.
