We have many talented players much more talented than Tendulkar perhaps but only he (Sachin) has head on his shoulders and does the daily grind needed for keeping him fit . He skipped most of the IPL parties - that is being responsible. I think India should ask him to play T20. After all he was the best player of IPL3.

Can you name those players who are more talented? or are you talking about your self? In such case, please enlighten us how successful and talented you are in your profession, we may follow you.
I totally "AGREE" with Mr. Shaw!! The TEAM collectively played poor ctricket and lost.
But I want to ask the Vice president, Sir, why did not the Boeard prepare the TEAM to practice on "Bouncy" Pithes? Oh! I forgot where is the Bouncy Pitch in India? We have 'clay' heade admininstrators who think of themselves as 'demi Gods'. Import the Right Clay by ship-loads and prepare Fast tracks. Do it damn fast, Sir.
its unfortunate that everyone is blaming each other after defeat..i feel these are the reasons for india bad performance
1)Niranjan shah says IPL is good practice to T20 world cup..45 days practice for 15 day tournament..Be practical guys IPL is a very high intenity tournament how can you expect a team to perform well after 45 days of high intensity cricket,after all they are human..BCCI has to take blame for scheduling which considered money as a priority over country
2) unfit players..its obvious that players are unfit..gambhir,zaheer and uv are not fit..we missed sehwag for 2nd time..gary last year complained about IPL but he was reprimanded for that..what else the coach can do if bcci is not supporting his cause.
3) we are simply not good on bouncy tracks..we missed players (sehwag and sachin) who can play well on this tracks
4)the spirit of the players is low..everyone is not 100%
5) dhoni didnt have luck this time and some of his decisions backfired..but those are part and parcel of the game
6)calling for dhoni head is ridiculous..he is the best captain we have
7) IPL parties organiser mehr jessia says we didnt ask players to party and play on next day morning..there is a gap of 2 days..what the heck this lady thinks.bollywood spoiled cricket.
8) on a final note selective journalism is the worst thing.this is happening right now to trp and other stuff.
believe in your team..everyone gets hurt when you lose..i cried and couldnt eat anything on the day we lost
IPL has just made the the Indian Players Lazy by giving them excess which they could not digest and after being out of the the T20 tournament they are now playing the blame game instead of repenting for the mistakes they have done. No excuse please
