We invited the foreign players at our cost paid them through the franchisees of IPL3 and trained them for WC 2010.They showed the results and we like rich and generous host are 'satisfied' for being kicked out of the WC 2010.Any better way to humiliated this cricket crazy country ?

U are absolutely right, my friend. IPL III sharpened the skills of other country's players for the WC t 20 and our team failed miserably because of middle order failure and no strats from the top.
THE DAY ODI'S, T 20 MATCHES ARE PLAYED IN THE "IPL" FORMAT WHICH MEANS MONEY, THE INDIAN TEAM WILL BE THE BEST AND No. 1.... IF THERE'S NO MONEY...THEY'RE TIRED, EXHAUSTED ETC. TALK MONEY...TALK WINNING...THATS INDIA !!!

agree with you. If Indian Government announce to give 10000 sq. ft plot to each player then we will definately win the T20 World
my dear countrymen.......just think for a moment........when you watch your tele........every second advert you will find that dhobi running here and there........These players are sitting on 100 to 200 crores each.........yes 100-200 crores each.........why would they care if the team loses or wins........its we who should be giving more attention to sports like hockey, boxing, badminton and ofcourse chess...........just think about it......comments welcome........cheers.
1. Yes BCCI is really thick skinned to nurture characters like Gavaskar/Shastri/MAKP and also LM who are nothing but wolves in sheep clothing a la r-o-g-u-e-s-o-f-t-h-e-f-i-r-s-t-w-a-t-e-r. 2. there is no need for the world to say that India is the hot-bed of match fixing, it is.
If you feel India plays too much cricket, then India must play less cricket. You can't can't have the glamour of the IPL and excessive public access to your cricketers and complain of overplaying.
This media exposure tends to make the team feel invincible and once that happens,then that is the beginning of their downfall.
Cricket like any sport where there is big money demands professionalism and if the cricketers are not professional enough and money grabbing, then they will over play to get a bigger slice of the financial pie, on the basis that their career will last for a couple of years and then they become nobodies.
What is left out of the equation is that you are a national team and if don't have that feeling for the country, then you are in the game for just money. Are players bigger than their country?
Any game, any profession must have a social or a national conscience and if you lack that then the results you get will be similar to the results you got.
India is out of the semifinals today. On paper it is a fabulous team, or have you let your media blow them out of proportion and make them what they are not? Why is it India is not in the final 4?
Are the boys overblown by the media or are they as good as they are made to be? Think about it because a deadbeat team like Pakistan, a team that was a no show team, is in the Semis by winning just 2 games and a great team on paper like India is going home. For sure you are doing something wrong.

well said fazal.....we all are angry........thats all we could do at the moment......
Compare at the performance of Dhobi,Karthik,Yusuf,Harbhajan and all those craps in IPL and T20. When they are playing for money, they will die for their team.. but for their nation, they also will not play and not letting others also to play. Look at Vishwanathan Anand..he is the pride of our Whole Nation.. After the era of Sachin,Saurav,Laxman,Kumble & Dravid, no good players emerged for India... They were true greats along with Legends like Kapil Dev & Sunil Gavaskar.....

yes true...
and Mr. Dhoni stated that T20 is 'youngester's' game....but our senior players (Sachin, Saurav, Dravid, Kumble, Laxman) have shown that; there should be Passion for 'playing cricket'and hunger to make runs/taking wickets in our current team that 'Passion' is missing. (we can exclude one or two players like Raina, Rohit they have atleast shown hunger for winning the game) Cedit of poor performance solely goes to Dhoni (poor team selection and decission making)
This is biggest excuse Indians are making again and again, see schedule of England, Westindies, Australia etc...these all teams were playing test and one day series before IPL and same players joint IPL and after that same players are playing T20 WC....then why only Indian players make such excuse...Not to forget Indian players were playing IPL in their home country while all these players played test& one day and IPL country continuolsy in other countries. Indians has habit of making excuses which is well supported by Media also
