Suggesion: for Next T20 choose India A Team..so that we can hope atleast of Semies..otherwise these Dhonies Men are just for IPL.And one reason that this team could not do well becoz of exessive Cricket.please note that team india players playing continue cricket..so this was natural that they are now Out..
here in rediff some parochial minds r writhing nonsense GREAT MARATHA thinks that only marathis can play cricket many r writing include dravid,laxman who r test players i can still agree for dravid but laxman? then even bring in ganguly,jadeja,azhar,robing singh

result is right infront of us....entire cricketing world knows abt so called indian " young players" inability to face against quality pace attack...it's not abt young players but abt quality , prooven players, capable of scoring against such bowling attack...there is no point in picking these 20-20 format players for international tournament especialy comming world cup....it's a wake up call for indian cricket administration to look and set the right , capable players for international tournaments....rahul dravid should not be neglected anymore for comming one day series against AUS....this is a wakeup call for selection committe....

dont brand anyone as Test and one day players!! We need good players with right technique and temperament! And unfortunately I dont see that in the Young Brigade except for Ambati Rayudu! So u need Dravid and Laxman to anchor the one day innings EVEN IF THEY ARE ON THE WRONG side of 30s if INDIA are to harbor any hopes for the WC 2011!! No parochial thinking here!! just need the right team!!

unfortunately india dont have that kind of so called " young player" with technic and competence to play quality pace attack...u can find them in AUS team....so, better rely on prooven performers like dravid...unnecessarily being neglected due to mumbai cricket maphia...and look at the result...team india is suffering...truth is out in the middle....
Till he takes retirement Sachin must be selected as Indian captain for one day and test match.Luck factor was there with Dhoni for wining the match.Now that is also not working.Dhoni was never a good captain.But definitely he is a great performer and presently he is best among all except Sachin. Now condition of Team India is worst and day by day it will become more worst.There is no decipline, no commitment of new comers.Dhoni is unable to put fresh blood in Indian team.After Ganguly three captain came,Rahul,Kumbley and Dhoni,all are greatest but unfortunately no new player injected in Indian cricket in there tennure. At present Sachin is only player who can groom new player like Ganguly.If some one see the name of the present Indian cricketers he will understand the facts.Selectors must be serious and take necessary action to make Sachin as captain replacing Dhoni.Sachin must take resposibility for betterment of future Indian cricket.

Why not? A BCCI president should be some one who has great passion for cricket, who thinks cricket is his life. We dont need somebody who doesn't know cricket and somebody who earn money or do business with cricket
We need a strong and experienced line up with good TECHNIQUE!!! You don't need hard hitters!
INDIAN TEAM Probables for WC 2011 - 50-over format!!
Sachin Sehwag Raina Ambati Rayudu Dravid Dhoni Laxman (Yes he has to be in team in case India are staring down at 70/6 or 50/5!!) Amit Mishra (has to move up and down the order depending on the situation) Zaheer Khan Ishanth Sharma Ojha Virat Kohli Irfan Pathan Ashwin Kamran Khan
Bhajji, Yuvi - careers are over! They have nothing more to offer and Bhajji has lost his spice to pick wickets!!!! Gambhir vs Raina was a difficult choice - had to pick Raina Kohli vs Rohit - had to leave out Rohit as Kohli is more consistent!!
w/o Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid and Laxman India can forget about winning the 2011 cup!!

IPL performances don't count for anything!! I dint go by IPL performances! I am going by technique and temperament of the player and the nature of the pitches for 2011!!
Re: Re: Re: SACHIN's SWANSONG WC 2011 in INDIA!!
by Abhi on May 13, 2010 05:52 PM
what technique nd temperament r u talking abt? now u need to judge a player's temperament who has 11000 odi runs nd 7500 test runs has cpatined india for 5 yrs r u joking? or r u just a ganguly hater?
Re: Re: Re: Re: SACHIN's SWANSONG WC 2011 in INDIA!!
by Crickbufff on May 13, 2010 05:57 PM
what if india were 60/6 in 15 overs!! who do u think can anchor and see that India can make atleast 200?? Obviously Laxman - even if he makes 50-60 of 75 balls - it is ok for me!!
Re: Re: Re: Re: SACHIN's SWANSONG WC 2011 in INDIA!!
by Crickbufff on May 13, 2010 05:53 PM
jackzz I am no hater of GANGULY I love him!! But Ganguly himself has said no comebacks for him!!
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: SACHIN's SWANSONG WC 2011 in INDIA!!
by Abhi on May 13, 2010 05:55 PM
but how can u write laxman for odi team cmon yaar he is a test player for dravid many will agree u not laxman
selection comitte is not selecting a talent player y they select yousf pathan he will play those who give money he will not play for the country. they can select irfan uttapa rp singh they r t20 players they left them no bowling coach bowling is to be improved a lot no improvement in fielding wat is jadeja dng in fielding leaving catch and the dhoni should be strict to the players FAILURE IS THE STEPING STONE SO WIN THE MATCH AND MAKR INDIA PROUD K CME ON DHONI MATES DO WELL
The fact is that nobody apart from Mumbai players have the guts and technique to play fast bowling. Look at the best players of fast bowling.Gavasker,Tendulker,Sanjay Manjrekar,Sardesai they are all from Mumbai.Except for dravid who is also Marathi manoos settled in Bangalore. Apart from all these Mumbai players only Mohinder Amarnath has shown courage against fast bowlers. So the solution is simple.Include more Mumbai players in the team .Why was Amol Muzumdar never picked for India.Why isnt Ajinkya Rahane getting a chance when likes of Pathan and Jadeja ar getting 100 chances?
Re: Unfair to Mumbai players
by goyal goyal on May 13, 2010 06:45 PM
It is not a question of MUMBAI OR TAMILNADU, but you have a agree that selection was poor.When gautam ghabhir or any other player id not in the form, why not to select other players availa.Selection committee should have guts and fair selection to select best player who so ever he is? Better bawler were left and routine player like nehra was taken.
Re: Unfair to Mumbai players
by Sachin Sawant on May 13, 2010 07:02 PM
Hey, Stop talking like this. Because of people like u rest 90 to 95% Marathis also getting ashamed...by writing such statements u are creating regionalism and hate for Maharashtrians...I am proud to be Marathi...but people like u makes us down....
Re: Unfair to Mumbai players
by raj on May 13, 2010 05:46 PM
your earlier comment was good but this again got reginal feeling. I hate to right it but because you have asked Viru, Laxman are not from Bombay they are really successful on any type of grounds. Talking about chances when Majundar was playing there was no slot for him . Talking about Rahane , you have very big list of good players before him.Laso check the fact about why we lost 1987 would cup. Who sat out in crucial game. The past was really dirty and it started getting cleaner only after 90's
Re: Re: Unfair to Mumbai players
by mira on May 13, 2010 05:52 PM
Who scored 36 not out in 1975 (60 overs) WC match against England. This player opened the batting for India and remained not out after 60 overs.
If you speak about 'fairness' in Indian cricket, Bombay (those days) should be the last team to put up its hands.
Re: Re: Re: Unfair to Mumbai players
by Sameer on May 13, 2010 06:04 PM
that was a 1 time mistake . 1 time mistake in a ODI career spanning over 10 years.
But yeah @Mumbai Maratha -- stop being a regionalistic DIMWIT.
Re: Unfair to Mumbai players
by manjunath b on May 13, 2010 05:45 PM
these marathis did nothing.. only played for record not for country.. sachin @ 37 still play as and when he wishes b'se of poltics.. y cant tru team player Dravid? i saw only team player who plays for country is Dravid.. rest all r selfish..
Re: Re: Unfair to Mumbai players
by Sameer on May 13, 2010 06:06 PM
Hey Manjunath ... shame on you for dividing this country. Tards like you are the reason why British ruled us for 200 years. Go pick up a history book .
Too all of the Regionalism crazed tards .. read 5th grade history books.
Re: Re: Unfair to Mumbai players
by Abhi on May 13, 2010 05:49 PM
u r a blind dravid fan? what abt sachin,ganguly,kumble,laxman havent they contributed to indian team?
When we lost 2003 world cup finals everybody blamed sachin for getting out early nobody blamed bowlers for giving away 358 runs. When we lost 2007 world cup in first round everybody blamed sachin because he was not giving youngsters a chance to play. Now we lost 2009 and 2010 world cup with entire team of youngsters.Now Sachin is selfish he played IPL and didnt play world cup. Keep it up India
Re: Re: Sachin
by manjunath b on May 13, 2010 05:43 PM
its sad & tru that sachin only play for record like dhoni not for country... most selfish players
Scrap Indian Selection panel headed by Kris. Srikanth, he is such a useless selector and dont know his job, those who failed in ipl is a front runner in World T20, and those who succeeded in IPL is sidelined by this useless srikanth and team, instead of blaming the indian team, sack srikanth and company.He should have selected Robin Uthappa, Ambati Rayudu, Saurabh Tiwary, Ravichandran Ashwin, Irfan Pathan & Either Sreesanth or Ishant Sharma (those who bowl really fast)
Re: team india's poor show
by raj on May 13, 2010 05:39 PM
Irfan, Sreeshanth and Ishanth shama. fast bowling. Come on yaar. You have seen it. THe fact is we don't have any good / decent bowlers.Also you should not scrap Selection commitee you need to look at team loop holes and how to mitigate it. The names you have mentioned doesn't directly replace any one in current team.
Re: team india's poor show
by mira on May 13, 2010 05:55 PM
Dont know if Srikkanth is useless. If it is so, I dont know why the selectors were paid bonus of some Rs.25 lakhs when Indian team reached number 1 in ICC rankings. Stop this regionalistic ranting
For quiet some time the importance given to Dhoni has been the real culprit for the poor show by the Indian T-20 tea very much.He has some favourite players in the team like Yuvaraj, Harbajan and he is very uncomfortable with Shewag very much. This type of favouritism is not good for the team unity and also the performance of the team. Remove Dhoni from the Captancy and also from the team. Put Dineh Karthik as wicket keeper or else there are so many who can perform in the international level very much. It is high time the BCCI should take action against the under performing players who ever be it. Then only everything will fall into right place and that is the only remdey. Please sack Yuvaraj Sing from the Indian team. He has become a real liability. We the Indians cannot tolerate this type of nonsense any more. Jai Hind

how do you know money does not matter to him? dont talk rubbish. money matters. to everyone. you, me and sachin.
Do you mean to say that when he plays for india, he does not take his fees? common, give me a break
