Stats are not everything.\n\nThe impact Hussey has had on he Aussie team has been far greater than Yuvraj has had on the team in the last 5-6 years. His place still is not guaranteed in the team.\n\nSimilarly, the best captain is not the one whose team keeps winning. All Dravid does is stand around looking sad, while Dhoni and co thrashed weak sides in home conditions. You call that captaincy??\n\nI think ravid is an awesome batsman, but as a captain, he just desn't cut it. Too lalloo, too meek, senseless strategies and that declaration in Multan!!!!!!!!

i thnk it is a good decision by BCCI.... if ganguly strikes then it is gud as indias poor batting performance will become better....... if ganguly fails then BCCI will b able 2 remove ganguly easily.... the public will then be wid BCCI..... India has tried evrythng.... now it should giv ganguly a chance......

This is the most upseting thing about India's Cricket team...their fans and the people who support them. Sachin, along with the rest of the sqaud are playing good cricket but the reason they aren't winning is because of the rise of international superstars. The Indian Cricket team needs to look at young talent more often then relying hevaily on three or four big name players. In a magazine I read while in Bombay (India Today) I read an article about a bowler named VJ Sharma who was considered a very good prospect to the team at the age of 19. Now, he is 21 and playing for (I belive its England). He is one of those few talents who packed their bags and decided to play for someone else who reconzied their talents.\n\nAnother thing that ticks me off is the politicains who suggested that the players be paid less if they do not perform as well. I laughed so hard when they said that, I mean c'mon their Indian politicans who get paid and make tons of illicit money and fall asleep in Senate meetings who are suggesting the players get paid less if they loose a game or two.\n\nBasically, its not the teams fault and it is not the coach's fault either, its the recruting...I bet you their are players out their who are very good but do not get a chance to play due to the fact that some current players have connection with politicians and team sponseres (sorry for the speeling error)\n\nITS TIME WE START LOOKING AT OUR OWN INDIAN TALENT AND ALLWING YOUND PLAYERS TO TAKE OVER THE ROLE AS BATSMAN OR BOWLERS, ETC.\n\n\nTo answer your queston I belive he is not a disruvtive image to the indian team...

What I find is that the Indians tend to expect results too fast and too many in no time. This makes the job of a coach really difficult. Greg has abundance of ideas and strategies which he wishes to implement gradually. I think he has the world cup in sight and is moving along accordingly. At this point of time, I find that the best bet is to support Greg to the fullest and he should be given a free hand (in the real sense) and should wait for the results of the World Cup.\nI totally agree with you that the review of Greg's performance be made only after the world cup.\nAll the best to dear Greg (Lage Raho Munna Bhai).

I think India will will have a good chance. This is a series which is just off a layoff for the team. It is just a case where the team had lost its rhythm off the lay off. However its good to see Kaif back in form and Hopefully sehvag too. I have always been advocating that these 2 players are a big asset on the foreign tours. In my last post I mentioned that the goal of this series is to get the Indian teams feet wet on the new grounds in preparation for world cup

As far as ganguly is concerned he has been out of form for the last two years, and since there are youngsters emerging who are capable of replacing him, there is no point in persisting with ganguly. but if he proves himself again in the domestic circuit, he should be certainly given a chance. after all he is one of the finest cricketers ever to play for india. Remeber when he is on fire no one can match him. just flash back those straight sixes he used to hit of spin ballers( especially left) and fast ballers. if he returns to that kind of form, no one can stop him from a come back.

Friend,\nIndian team is doing good and they should keep this continue. But if some one look into the managment part and try to do some thing better in that then automatically the team will become much better then present. There should not be any politices.  Some great losses beared by indian team in near past due to this mis-managment which should be avoided. The future of the indian team is very good.

first of all,\nkudos to you for asking a very different and intelligent question\n yes i agree completely, a batsman like dravid for example is considered to be technically one of the best batsman in the world right now because of his ability to successfully tackle all kinds of oppositions under different playing conditions.Thus a batsmen who has his basics right and plys 'textbook' shots having also a solid defence is going to survive all kinds of attacks\n though let me say that such kind of play requires lots of patience and hardwork so it is kinda difficult even for the likes Dravid to play like this always.

see no doubt he is a good player\nbut he got many oppertunity to prove himself\nbut he remain failed\n\nand now in present indian team there is no space for him

Whatever u think is right. There is time to drop Sachin as the same way the selectors drops Ganguly. I think there should be some transparent procedure to select national team. If somebody is drooped due to his bad performance then definitely it should be applied for all. I don't think Sachin and Ganguly is end of their carrier, But What I think If Ganguty is doped due to his bad performance then there is a time to drop Tendulkar also. I don't want any politics to select INDIAN CRICKET TEAM

...itz almost near, but you see\n\n3 specialist all rounders (excluding Ganguly)\n7 specialist batsmen (including Dhoni)\n6 specialist bowlers\n\nSo we have 9 specialists + 3 optional bowlers in your side and \n7 specialist + 3 optional (all rounders) are there...So why can't you drop 1 or 2 from the bowler's list and prefer batsman..?\nSince JPYadav has got chance earlier, I prefer jogindersingh among the all rounders...\n\nSo my  decision will be including Laxman (if Raina is not clicking again) & Dinesh Karthick - \ninstead of JPYadav & AAgarkar.\n\nIf you still need one bowler, either YMahesh or VRV Singh can be brought alongwith Laxman.

yes it's totally unfair.when you took his strength\nby dropping him out of one days and also expect him to play under so heavy pressure of purforming well\nit's not fair at all.how can you drop him if you have give him place as a bowler and doesn't give him a single over when you know he was very good in his last matches out of international cricket?no one can perform in such conditions.he was one of the best three and captain of india,also a great six hitter and not to forget the most successful indian captain.how can they drop him?how????

India had consecutively win 17 matches while chasing the score. It was not a tough target to chase. So, in a such situation India was mentally above the West Indians, but I think it has created some over confidence to India. \n\nWhether overconfidence or not, I think some of the Indian players had played some loose shots, which was unnecessary as the ball was not coming to the bat. While chasing low scores most of the biggest team had collapsed incredibly. That is Cricket! \n\nAnyhow I hope India will come back in the next match to get lead in the series.

Shastri and Chappel always have been suspect creatures. But I don't think there is nexus between the three here. There was a nexus between Wright and Dravid - thanks to the Kent connection. Wright even got Dravid to play for Scotland. But there was nothing wrong with that.\n\nThe wrong connections were between Chappel and Kiran More - due to business interests. And of course there have been kickbacks to Shastri to get Chappel in as the coach. Tom Moody would have been a lot better choice.\n\nBut if you are disappointed with India's performance today, blame it on the selection panel. Jaffer, Raina and Kaif simply cannot bat on bouncy wickets. They ought to be back on the first flight to Mumbai.\n\nYou'll see that in the next few matches, Dravid, tendulkar, Dhoni Swhwag and Mongia being able to bat a lot more comfortably - but the rest would continue to falter. Yuvraj could have made a difference here.\n\nBut the key point is, who else should be in the playing XI? Gautam Gambhir? Ganguly? I would even recommend someone like Akash Chopra to be brought back for the test series.
