It is sad looking into the state of affairs of Indian team, as they boast of a battery of top world class batsmen. Sad part is the die hard cricket fans are time and again fooled by this so called big and greedy cricketers. I world be surprised if this team go past semifinal anyway. They are lacking in key cricketing skills like bowling, fielding, allround play etc. It is entirely commercial activity so please engage in your job rather than dying for these cowards called team India

Then What are you doing here? Why are you so bothered about Team India, if you are not interested in it? You may do your own job

The only doubt that you have is whether they go past semifinals! At least you don't rule out the Indian team reaching the semis, don't you? Reaching finals will be great, but reaching semis won't be all that a bad achievement! So, not all is bad with Indian cricket.

B M u n others like u where boasting that our cricketers will win the 2011 WC for us n now not even halfway 2 tournament u say ull be satisfied if they r in semis ?
ICC needs to wake and accept the folly of the 2.5m rule. This rule is flawed in concept. If the on field umpire is capable of judging whether or not the ball would have hit the stumps with the point of impact 2.5m from the stumps, there would have been no need for the hawkeye. So inspite of technology being used, decision making is still in human hands. In all probabilty, Cussack would have neen adjudged not out if the umpire at the bowlers' end had been Billy Bowden!

B M:
;-)... So you mean to say ALL decisions need to go in favour of India, and THEN you will be happy with the system... Much similar things Dhoni said too... :)
Coz I didn't notice him cribbing about "adulteration" of technology and humans in Ireland's match, but he did go on and on in the England match... :)
Indians played casually.They did not play in professional way. Had they plyed professionally the run rate would have been better and it would help to a great extent during the ending session of the tournament.

With this type of bowling attack Indian Team cant win World Cup. Very inconsistent bowling.
Can you call this a convincing victory for Team India...I guess Ireland was more disciplined..only they lacked a bit of experience..and made inroads in to the so called great Indian Batting line up ..their fielding was exceptional..they made India toil for every run..great going Meanwhile, Yuvraj was playing selfishly for his half-century (who cares!!)…so that he can fix his place (otherwise also Dhoni ensures it)…he could have scored the required runs in lesser balls..so that we had a better run rate..which may count in the end…so finally team India scored 208 in 45.5 overs..what a shame ..Team India looks arrogant, foolish and over-confident

What r u talking about? The batting has performed well in all the matches and batters need to play to the occasion. Yuvraj was central to the win and you have to bat slow if you need to.
