Keeping useless players like Sehwag and Tendulkar cost the Indian team and made them lose. These two people need to be dropped forever and never again recruited.
It is all the mind. Cricket is the game which is played 50% on the field and 50% in players minds. Out top order never delivered. We never played like spirited players. If all would have went correclty then India and S'lanka could have played the finals. Actually, current Austrelian team is the not the strong team as compared to earlier team. Still India lost. We all concentrated on 100th 100 and never thought about winning the matches.
WoW !!! What a performance !!! The way Sri Lanka has played the two finals (specially the fight in the 1st final) and also in the league, if they continue like this, they can beat India at any day. It will be a huge surprise, if they can't able pull out the last final. Also, in the Asis Cup, if we consider the best two Asian Teams, then definitely it is going to be Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the finals. India seems to be no where in the picture. What we should have noticed in the CW Series, that Sri Lanka's team has already prepared themselves for the World Cup and our team is miles behind them. They even doesn't have the team ready and identified for the big one. It's a sorry state of affairs, where money, politics, power and individual goals are only valued in Indian cricket. Certainly, we are only heading towards the Southern direction rapidly...
1) Sachin played for his personal records from the beginning at the cost of the team ( ie. the team looses when Sachin is the best performer) 2)Sachin never had champion's attitude 3) had problems against high quality bowling attacks all through his career 4)Values his hindreds more than team chievement 5)Never had any memorable innings. Has gotten only lousy useless knocks. 6)Begged his colleagues to win a world cup as he could not. 7)even after plyaing for over 20 years still does not retire from oneday cricket and does not give opportunities to youngsters. 8) claimed that oneday cricket be stoped and made into a two innigs 25 over game fearing that someone will over take his hundred's tally 9)Throught 90s what was india's performance inspite of a good team and sachin's presence in the team? Only after players such as Sehwag, laxman, dravid, Ganguly came in did india started performing well 10)Sachin has misused the popularity innocent Indians have on him to make his personal records. imagin Sachin playing these knocks in australia, He would have been kicked out of the team long back. Why Sachin is being hailed 1) he is from mumbai 2) There is huge money invested on him by corporates in the form of advertisements who want to promote him ( media promotes him saying he is the greatest player) while he is nowhere close to players such as gavaskar,Viv, Malcolm Marshal, Wasim Akram and many others 3)our corruption friendly country Like people like him

New Sky:
Too bad Virat Kohli is now the new "selfish" player for India who plays for his personal record at the cost of the team... ;-) I'm sure he will also follow points 2 through 10 in due course of time.. :)

Very right!! Good analysis. Even though he was an excellent player technique wise, he did not possess the mental strength to perform in adverse situations.Also the icing on the selfishness cake is that he duped Indian excehquer by not paying tax on a Ferrari and is shamelessly taking advantage of his polpularity for not paying for other dues too.
Apart from the leakage of runs in end overs by our bowlers, the main reason for our failure is the senior batsmen worst performance. See Jayawardane, Sangakara and Dilson They are the seniors whose performance inspires younsters like Chindimal,Mathews and tirnmane to perform well. Also India doesnot have a bowler of Maliga's expertise in the start and end of the innings. It is high time selecters should kickout seniors like sachin,Sewagh,Zaheer,Irfan and give chance to younsters like Rohit,Rahul,Tiwari,Varon and Uttapha

Murali Are you sleeping so far? Your recommendation for removal of seniors is accepted. But what about new faces you are recommending? Rohit is a failure. Uthappa failed hundreds of times. Same thing happens with Tiwari. I donno about varon and Rahul. All of them are tigers in IPL. But if they leave sub-continent, all will face the same fate.
not the player, but attitude and management of the people who is running this game behind the scene along with the players. In spite of the richest board in the world, have BCCI really done something to take the game to the greater heights except earning huge amount of money? Are the local grounds, training, equipments mitigate or match up to the standard of the international grounds to uplift the quality of cricket as it happen in Aus, SA, NZ or Eng? Have we done anything to promote the game for which our whole nation is crazy for? Where is the ambience to nurture and uplift the existing talent we have? Every first bowler in India has to decrease the pace after a period of 1 year or so! The problem is the management and the administration. If you only run after money and don’t work towards solving the problems and improving the overall standards, after 20 yrs also the level of cricket will remain the same. Only a bunch of “Stars” will be born. Couple of years back it was Sachin, today its Virat and Dhoni, tomorrow somebody else.

When a politician is interested in running something, we can rest assured that there is a lot of illegitimate gains in that. BCCI is no differtent. Basically we Indians are chors at the core. Let us not blame only the players or the board alone. It is the system. The players report fit ahile actaually they are nursing injuries. The Old Foggies sticking to the team like limpets so as a earn a few crores more at the cost of team's performance and corporate houses paying the selectors to keep them as they have big investments on them. The whole vicious circle of corruption is one of the main reasons.
Nothing went wrong with Team India. They got what they deserve. The team itself is over-hyped, over-paid, over-rated, over-talked, over-acted, over-sensitive, over-expected, over-symbolised while in India. Once they are out of India, they get what they deserve.
of nincompoops are running the BCCI and they flatly refuse to see the writing on the wall. No changes will be effected and we will all forget the past as soon as the team wins a few matches in the low, slow ,flat tracks of the subcontinent. Really we are wasting our time with cricket . Better to focus on other sports for a change. How about Hockey the nationl sport?

During Kirsten period Team India played its 90% cricket in Indian sibcontinent. Duncan had to face England and Australia to start with. :-)
