In his moment of glory ,Rampaul shoud never forget that the wicket would have never been his BUT for the gentlemanly walk that Sachin chose to take to the pavilion .Courtesy demends he remembers this graet gesture of Sachin every time he celebrates his success !!

If he nicked it he has to walk. Whether Sachin / Munaf go by your instinct. Where comes the Gentleman ship. The entire game is called Gentleman's game..
The wicket was really a gift to Rampaul. Sachin has proved again that he is the best sportsman, He has given a chance for the low order indian batsmen to improve
The best team for the game against Australia is 1. Sewhag. 2. Tendulkar. 3. Virat Kolhi. 4. Raina. 5. Yuvraj Singh. 6. Yusuf Pathan. 7. Dhoni. 8. Ashwin. 9. &nb sp; Zaheer. 10. Harbhajan. 11. S reesanth.
1. Raina should be retained in the place of Gautham Gambhir, who is out of form since September-2009. Also, Raina is a better fielder & useful bowler than Gambhir. 2. Raina should be sent ahead of Yuvraj Singh because Yuvraj has played only against the weaker teams & he cannot force the pace in the middle overs that too against Australian bowlers. 3. Yusuf Pathan should be sent when spinners (Kreja) or Shane Watson operate because he can handle them easily & not in the power plays when Lee or Tait is operating. 4. Munaf patel should in now way be selected because he does not know to Bat, Field or Bowl. In comparison, Sreesanth is a better fielder than Munaf, can score at least 2 runs/hang around & is a much more aggressive/strike bowler than Munaf/Nehra. 5. Also, Ashwin who is a better batsman than Harbhajhan Singh & Zaheer should be sent after Dhoni. 6. Power plays should be taken in-between the 35th & 45th overs when players like Yuvraj or Dhoni are batting, who will not get out. Dhoni in particular who will scrap through & cannot score more than 12 out of 30 balls whether in the power plays or not in the power plays.

You're 100% correct. Good Observation. Hope such simple sense gets into Captain's head as well.
We Indian are fool because we expect more than ability of our players. In three matches England/SA/WI we enable to play 50 overs. Moreover we cannot defend 338, 297 runs. While other teams defend less than 200 runs.
So do not keep much hope from Indian players, they will be back in form in IPL
Rampaul was very good. May be things might have been different had Shewag opened, nevertheless Ravi's bowling was good and he did teach a lesson to indian batsmen. Congrats and best wishes for Ravi.
Let us trust Dhoni till WC. He is India's bet now. No one can take his place.
I agree that pressure on him is 2 much. Still I am sure he will come up with a some kind of plan in remaining matches. Lets trust him. All the media should support him at this hour, so that he can gain confidence. H HE SHOULD NOT FEEL LONELY LIKE HE DID AGAINST WEST INDIES. THATS MY GUT FEELING

Sorry dear. You are absolutely wrong. Our support alone won't help a man with minimum abilities. Dhoni's resources are minimum. He never played the winning part of any of india's victory. While the others like Sachin, sehvag or some body else took part of it. He is the luckiest indian captain having sachin, sehvag etc in the team. Otherwise this man would be sitting at his home watching these matches on his home Television only.

Who has isolated him?? Its funny that the so called coolest captin in the world needs these type of support.

FYI, 1Sewhag could not bowl bcause he is injured long back & he himself is not inclined to do so. 2.Gambhir is a total failure since September-2009 for the past 18 months. Please check his contribution/Statistics. He can definitely be included after the world cup is over & not at this crucial juncture. 3.Dhobi_Nothing to comment about him..... 4.Munaf- Total crap. Eventhough Sreesanth is not the best. But, his monkey antics along with Harbhajhan Singh will be watched gleefully by the Australian hating Indian fans & unsettle the Australians. If his monkeyism was accepted in less important tournaments/tours, why cannot we tolerate this now, that too at a crucial time of the world cup?????
