Fire the coach

I blame the coach more than the players. He did not prepare the team well.

The exciting One day matches compared toBoringandNever-endingandTime-wastingTEST matches Prove why TEST matches and Ranji &dulpee trophy macthes MUSTe Banned in Poor nations since they cannot afford to WASTE Millions of man or wowman hours every year! This wastage of time has made us POOR adnd Backward aswished by the british crooks who imported this game like improting the mahatmaand non-violence dirty trick to make hindus morrons and ennuchs and lazyforever too! ! What a Shame! ONLY One day cricketmatches, 50 over or 20 over or 10 over games must be ALLOWED to be Played in our country and ONLY on week-ends of Holidays so that we DO NOT waste millions ofhours every year and To prevent us becoming a Poor nation forever too!

I hope truth comes out

Most of the core team are the same yet after Kirsten left, they seem to have no plan and no hunger..Hard for me not to think that new coach is not the reason for this lackluster and listless performance..It is easy to blame age..but here it seems more like a locker room issue and strategy/application issue

This is had work of ISI of pakistan , they took revenge for what is happening in paki cricket.
BCCI should ban England,SU ,n Austri from all forms of international cricket.
support china,nepal,kenya,canada to get status of test playing nations.
Play only with above and make tons of centuries .
jai ho

all these years
by veerapuram dharan on Jan 27, 2012 07:16 PM  | Hide replies

all these years, we were playing with players with severe handicaps..

1. viru - no footwork, cant field diving, not good at running between..but somehow scored runs which compensated for his other liabilities. now when the free flowing runs ditched him, hes unable to contribute in other areas.

2. laxman - no footwork, cant run, yet has got good wrist power alone which saved him all these years..now when hes unable to score with his gifted wrist power, hes down and not able to contribute in other areas.

3. dravid - classical and stylish player. grinds the attack before exploding. now when his style ditched him, there is no other area where he can contribute as he lags in running, fielding etc. just look at ponting and hussey.

there are several such stories, even with sachin..this is what guru greg used to insist upon..if u r not fit to dive and save runs, or not fit to run between wickets, then no matter who ever you are, you are out of teh team..this didnt go down well with some politician players..poor fella, he was made the villian..

The Australian Bashing
by VENKATARAMANAN on Jan 27, 2012 07:09 PM

We should through MEDIA give Bharat Ratna to all cricketers as they have really done the BEST-Maybe we should now look to market Bharat Ratna's through paanwala shop to sell it to BCCI fully.
We should have had ICL earlier as it was to bring in competition spirit and generate an game but Fools(BCCI,Politicians,?) tread where Angels fear to tread and we get bashed fully and finally worldwide.

CRICKET IS NOT INTERNATIONAL GAME
by MAHESH DESAI on Jan 27, 2012 06:45 PM

It is surprising to call cricket an international game , it is restricted to Indian Subcontinent, Austrelia,South Afrika (paki is already on verge of outline) ,west Indies it is Dead ,England ,on 10th position in popularity .
Indian cricket has turned from sports to corporate affair ,
Big three cannot be removed , they have endorsements to back them self.
