No need to expect the miracles. First fix the team and then think about luck. Drop the junk players karthik and Murali. Provide the opportunities to quality players like Uthappa, Abhishek Nair, Manish Pandey. S Tiwari,Rayudu, M Tiwari, Pujara etc. Some of these players definitely will shine and will become long timers for india. If you look into the present tournament, it all started with Murali Vijay. He is not able to face the quality bowlers. His scores are consistently 0, 2 and 7. His strike rate is less than 50%. He started the collapse in each match. Because of him, india is now in a position to exit from the tournament. Selectors need to clean up selection committe by removing junk Srikanth and then start clean up the players.

Even SA struggled against spin today. Does that make them a poor side. Its the nature of t20. There's no point going ballistic about India's poor show. Its all part of sport. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Its how u maximise ur strengths that matters.

Anuj - That's what I am telling. You need to concentrate on weaknesses.

Indian team is not really good at chasing totals under pressure still MSD chooses to bowl first even after winning the toss.In a T20 it is always a good idea to bat first

Agree with you.To me Murali is good for observing the ball coming and going sitting somewhere among the onlookers in the stand rather than playing it. I am ready to give him free tickets for this job.

Cricket is professional to make money. Do you think they are idiots to play for the nation?

IPL has spoilt our team (Indian Team). Star players have indivuidually played well for their respective IPL teams. But they did not play collectively together as a team for the Indian national team. They were tired after heavy schedule of IPL matches. They did not have sufficient practice as a team for India, just before World Cup T20. So, the Indian Team failed in World Cup, even though the players were star players in their respective IPL teams. Next Year onwards BCCI should bring in a rule that IPL players will not be taken back into the national team. We have sufficient talents and the national team can play domestic matches and get practice during IPL season. Such a national team can perform far better than the present disjointed team of Dhoni.
