At the end of the day Indian Criketers are back home and they should be left alone . If anyone is to be blamed for this poor show thwn its the BCCI and the faulty system . Cricket or any other sport in India does not have the infrastructure and training facilities to counter world standard . Undernourisment , undeeducation and scores of other Human Development Indexes show that India is way behind the world standard . So why blame the Team India when come back home !

Good point. Team India is very poorly trained. Underpaid. Undernourished. And not enough money and infrastructure put into cricket. Similar problems hound Brazil in Football and China in Gymnastics, Swimming and Table Tennis.
Anyone and everyone can have a bad day at the office. In the past many teams that have remained undefeated in the group stages have lost to other teams in the knockouts. The idiots who are crying and blaming players or their WAGs have no idea what pressure the men in blue take to the field and perform with it day in & day out. Its easy to comment sitting in the comfort of our homes when the players give their everything and don't succumb. All I want to say is stop crying and start feeling proud. #willbringitback
For team India it was a great recovery from their performances in the recent past. It was never expected to be so well played in the cwc. Till the semifinal they were playing competitive cricket with dedicated contribution from all the players. No doubt the cup was not given by them voluntarily but it was taken from them, they really tried hard to keep it with them but luck was not with them. Well done boys. In the future control your anger and let the opposing team don't distract your concentration and focus.

Yes. Luck was not with them. Dhawan and Rohit were caught behind so early. If their catches were missed then they might have put on say 76 for the opening wicket. Similarly if Clarke had somehow dropped Dhoni then maybe he could have hit a few sixes. We were definitely unlucky but did well to fight till the 50th over and lose by just a few runs.
All the semi-finalist were super team. S.Africa was really very good; but they were having bad luck.A great team lost to New zealand. Similarly, Indian team had also bad luck ,other wise they played super all through

Dear Indian team, Heartiest congratulations to you guys for your performance till the match before the semifinal. Anyway, you guys made us proud many times earlier, you made us to be happy and dance on street like kids many a times in past. It happens. you were there doing all the preparations since last 4 months away from family and friends. Its not easy to keep the momentum for such a long period. Never mind. Let the world cup be anyone else, make sure that when you meet the new WC winner in future you will win and make us proud again. Keep learning from mistakes and look forward. I think, media and other people around you made such a hype that affected you all badly. Wish Gary Kirstern would have been there with you at such crucial time of match. Anyway, come back home, have some time with family, get married (Raina, Virat) and plan for better play in future matches (not in IPL). Do less modeling and focus on your own games :)
india, a country that only knows cricket in sports.. still not able to win world cup despite of wasting so much time and money in cricket.. and cricket is also not played by strong sporting nations like china, russia, america.. and, still media is asking us to applaud. what a shame.

The composition of the present team India is different from the earlier ones. Most of them were pickup from various nooks and corner of the country belonging to different economic background. Their perception of firangs is same as that of colonial days, that firangs are always superior in every respect. Until and unless they remove the perception and fear of firangs from their minds they will have the same in all the high pressure games.
This is not a cricket team, it is just a collection of expensive models. They have no courage to fight a real test. Corrupt expensive game in a poor country.
