As much as Sangakkara is a quality player, he's a poor captain. He is inconsistent as a leader. This will hurt Sri Lanka during the 2011 world cup. I truly believe that the 2011 world cup will be a world cup of captains. The smart and proactive skipper will lift the prize. Sorry Sanga, I don't think you have what it takes to lead SL to world cup glory. Same can be said about Dhoni. He's won test matches lately purely because of the presence of Dravid, Sachin and Tendulkar. Once those 3 are gone, watch out folks !

Sanga is a good captain always trying to keep his team mates with positive mind, & the best thing he did was inviting more new faces to the squad, which wasn't happened last few years. in past whole sri lankan team relies on few seniors, but now it has changed. we have seen it on last match between SL & IND, sanga showed India that they not 100% capable to beat Sri Lanka outside India. Sanga Keep It Up, Wish you all the best
While Pakistan is having the strongest pace battery in its side India has poorest pace bowling in the World. What I still don't understand why bowler like Nehra is continued in cricket and why a spineless spin bowling of Harbhajan is still used in ODI. If a bowler can bowl full toss to a batsman when he faces a free hit such bowler needs to be sacked from team. Nehra keeps brain in his pocket while bowling. Dhoni's frustration is legitimate. But at the same time his love and friendship for this Delhi bowler is strange! Praveen Kumar actually more suited for ODI than Nehra. Even Irfan Pathan might have bowled better than this useless Nehra. Pathan at least bats also while Nehra's batting strength is pathetic!
I dont understand what the hell selectors are dong. They are not really bothered about improving the indioan bowling. With this bowling lineup do we thing we can win the Worl Cup or even qualify for Quater finals also. Everytime we cant expect out batsman score 300 to relax our bowlers. Even then also our bowlers can defend the score of 300 . Recent Srilanka series is the best example. With so huge population in india, we cant find the likes of Aamir from Pakistan, Bolinger, Johnson from Australia, Jerome Taylor from West Indies, etc. I think the selectors are not aware of their task. FOR WORL CUP OUR TEAM PREPARATION IS ALMOST ZERO. When we will not qualify for qf, sf the we will blame our captain, who so ever is the captain. SICK MENTALITY.

Its not that India dont have talents. There are loads of them. Thing is how they work as a team. Indian players cant do fine team work. The matches they won because of individual talents but not team work.
