the so called captain cool has got away after the eng and aussie drubbing--imagine the outcry against dravid for just drawing a test in englans!!(and winning the series)--what happnd to all the young legs--and mahashatak has to wait
The Indian team is not just losing but are getting hammered like minnow teams; Kenya, Bangladesh etc. This is really regrettable because India is the current world cup champions and one day cricket is supposed to be our strength. I know public will pass the buck to the senior players but the young players in the team also did not perform more than they were expected too. I mean, there were so much hoopla in the media about Jadeja; whose fielding, batting and bowling were suppose to be extraordinary. But he has been ordinary so far in the tour and has displayed that he is not up to international standards. Furthermore, the same can be said about Ashwin, Raina and Rohit; whose performance also left a lot to be desired. India's performance in recent times has displayed that they are no better than Bangladesh when playing overseas. Anyway, the Asia cup and IPL will begin soon and once the batsman gets some big scores in flat wickets, this poor performance will be a thing of the past. But the next world cup will be played in Australia and New Zealand, where the pitches and conditions won't be favourable to the team. So, I hope the selectors and BCCI makes the necessary changes and prepares well to defend the world cup trophy.

We cannot blame the captain who was castled and castigate by one and all for cricising our IMMORTAL heroes.
To improve one day cricket avoid defence batting and play original batting right from the begining. MS Dhoni batiing is very very poor.He should do his original play
say or however much one argue, the brute fact is that our war-weary horses need to be sent to where they now belong i.e. 'Pitri-loke' of cricketers. BCCI should give them sufficiently attractive golden handshakes to motivate them to do the obvious. To replace them we have identify those players who have remained over-looked for want of backing of advertising syndicates.
Guys...and the usual story comes again, India playing like minnows in Aus, SA & NZ....and comes back to India in dead wkts they score 100's & 200's and we fools forget everything and praise them to the core. IPL is coming...people frgt all this rubbish and start praising all our ZERO Heroes...MASTER BLASTER...VERY VERY SPECIAL...THE GRT WALL (Hole now)...FINISHER...etc. Guys...lets stop this nonsense.

Are they the only ones? I suspect gambhir has not fully recovered from his injury in Englanf after which he had reported blurred vision. In the past he was never so inconsistent. We should give him VRS and find out someone who is fit a raring to go -Ajinkya Rahane, for instance.
