The point given by the Team management and the Coach is India need 5 Bowlers, 3 spinners and 2 Fast Bowlers it not OKay.\n\nKaif Should be in the Team at any cost in the Test Team for the Reasons mentioned below :\n\n1.   He is a Excellent Fielder, and no one can just match him in that case.\n2.   He is a very intelligent sharp and a very quick learner.\n3.   He is a very good Athelet, and he is very quick in running between the wicket.\n4.   When the Indians lost too many wicketes in the 1st Innings at Nagpur, he was the one with the company of our Leader The wall Rahul Dravid who took the Initiative and took the Indian team out of trouble, Great knock and Great Attitude and character shown, well done Kaif.\n5.   It is not OK to include Piyush Chawla now straight away instead of the much experienced Mohammed Kaif, because already we have Kumble and Harbhajan as genuine Spinners and then we have the Tendulkar, Sehwag, Yuvraj who can also spin the ball and contribute to the Indian Team.\n6.   When things are going very well for the Indian Team, then Kaif forms a very good partner at the other end with any batsmen i.e. Tendulkar, Dravid, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Sehwag or any body else.\n7.   If given more chances then Kaif would prove himself that he can win more and more matches for his Indian team.\n8.   It is the form that matters the most than any other factor in a particular series, and it is the right time that Kaif is playing well and he definetly deserves a right place in the Indian Team in the present Scenario.\n9.   I would ask everybody to think of the same Indian team which is playing in the 2nd Test at Mohali but for the one change which should be in the team is that instead of Piyush Chawla - Mohammed Kaif should be playing the Match, that is it! Simple.\n10.  Because Piyush Chawla is so young and he can get a chance whenever in the future or we can try him in the ODI's since we are having enough 7 ODI's after the Test Series.

Friend, you are just like me. Even I like him a lot and he is my all-time favourite player. I always support him. I enjoy his batting to the fullest. When he gets out I feel really sad, but that doesn´t mean that I would say that he isn´t a great player. People may attack him whenever India loses, but I would never do that. In his early years India use to lose a lot of matches. Whenever I heard India won, I could guess it by myself that he must have scored a hundred (100). So I request all his fan to have patients and please support him. He is nearing his end in cricket, he needs our support.\n\nI can sense that my worst day in my life will be on the day he will retire.\n\nI hope that the greatest batsman on the Earth, name as Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, would play few years more than expected.\n\nAll the best Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar - The Little Master, The Little Maestro, The Bombay Bomber!\n\nRawal.

not all the great and legend players are good captains. \n\nDravid ofcourse he is the spine for all the indian victories from last decade but i dont think he is the right person.\n\nsee what is happening, i am not criticising because it lost the series with WI , but  to become a good team , they have to win in alien places. \n\nand until now dravid won in india , pakisthan  even pakisthan is sub continent and similar pitches like home. its not enough.they have to win overseas series convinsingly.\n\nuntil that we cant deciede wether he is right or wrong. may be time will give right answere

One can't pin the blame only on Dravid's captaincy. Its a collective irresponsibility. What about the selectors? Why is Sachin in the team...for his current form or for the past records? Why is Shehwag in the team? What is Kaif doing? What role is Pathan's? \nThe much hyped coach also seems to be clueless. Experimenting has reached comic to hopeless proportions. The amount of aggression the coach shows in front of the camera seems to be missing in what he coaches...\nAs far as the players are concerned...no one seems to be in form except an occasional flash in the pan!\nOne billion people, and tons of money with BCCI. Youth hungry for livelihood and career. Can't the BCCI start a grass-root development program and start identifying talent. Cant BCCI make bouncy pitches exclusively for practise ahead of SA/NZ tours?\nAny discussion about cricket has become an intellectual masturbation in the country!!!!

Sachin Tendulkar\n1.He has never created any controversy.He never makes any comments and lets "his bat do the taking".\n2.He has always played selflessly and for the team.\n3.He is the greatest Batsman,Runs,most centuries and anything.\n4.He is still eager to play and make his country win!\n5.Inspite of it all,He is such a humble person!

I cant agree with CONFIRM_2.\nGanguly also tied-up with Hero-Honda, Britannia and as well as Pepsi.\nthe asker want to know "Was Ganguly in form or not? Did he scored respectable runs or not?".\nThe answer is 'No'.\nEven ganguly not interested in domestic matches because of his poor form.If a new bowler of a state get him out, the controversy might go even worse.so he avoided the domestic matches.\nHe messed-up in all things like practice, team meetings, personal conversations with the coach, interacting with team members etc.\nWe still respect him for his tremendous service to nation.\nBut, with his poor form, he will be a burden to the team.

Mahender Singh Dhoni.\n\nHe is an outstanding batsman. You know his batting average is 55. Which is very good for an young batsmen. He also scored 1000 runs in ODI. After scoring 1000 runs, he is keeping up his batting average. There is his callibre. Also he has a great future. he can overtake the records of Sachin tendulkar. After enormous effect of his wicket keeping, he can bat very very well. That shows his callibre in cricket. So i think he is the No 1 Batsmen.

not captaincy atleast they have to let him to play as a member. we need desperately experiance in the alien conditions like WI,ENG,AUS,SA,NZ.....\nindian team is looking very patchy because no one is there with real good experiance except DRAVID,KUBLE and LAXMAN..... \nWHY dont we give chance to GANGULY,AGARKAR(who is the only bowler to impress in onedayers against WI because of experiance) \n\nDAMN BULLSHIT PLANNING BY CHAPPEL AND BLOODY SHORT GUY KIRAN MORE AND OTHER GREAT PEOPLE WHO NEVER KNOW HOW TO CATCH A BALL IN BCCI \nSHOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND THINK BOUT IT AND DO SOME THING QUICKLY SO THAT WE CAN BE GOOD TEAM IN WI IN 2007 . \n\nmind that we lost to no 9 team in world and if it is the case with AUS,SA,ENG,NZ  AND OTHER THEN WHAT IS OUR PLAN????????? IN THE SAME PLASES WE ARE GOING TO PLAY IN 2007 ......

absolutely right...he is a great player and showed the same in his yesterday's innings that he can play safely as he made his 120 runs from 307 balls...his main aim was to bat there for long time and save his country from a big defeat and he did the same and proved that he is the true leader of his team...all cheers for Lara!!! And if people are talking about his childish behaviour over Dhoni's decision I think it was his dedication towards his team and the sportsmanship...those six runs could have made a difference but he reacted spontaneously and reacted very well even...and ICC has also said that in such cases benefit of doubt would be given to fielders...this show that he did right and nothing childish...

No no, every country should play like India, and nowadays we get to see so many matches... its great, and seeing Dhoni, Yuvraj play for India is even cooler!

GANGULY\nHE PLAY FOR TEAM NOT FOR HIS OWN RECORDS\n\nLOOK AT HIS PERFORMANCE IN FINAL MATCHES.\n\nDRAVID PLAYS VERY SLOW. \nI REMEMBER THAT IN ONE MATCH, INDIA NEEDS 10 RUNS IN LAST OVER AND STRIKER IS DRAVID, BUT DRAVID FAIL TO MAKE 10 RUNS AND INDIA LOST THE MATCH.\nIF HE CAN'T MAKE RUN THEN HE SHOULD LEAVE THE CREASE.

nice question.....\nit is our master blaster &disaster sachin ramesh tendulkar.\nSachin Tendulkar\n Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973) is an outstanding Indian cricketer. He has been a member of the Indian cricket team since 1989. He made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of 16. He is widely regarded as one of the best batsmen of all time and by many as the greatest of his era. His cricketing and batting abilities are widely regarded as genius by many stalwarts of the game. For instance, Sir Donald Bradman, the Australian great said of Sachin, "He reminds me of myself". He is affectionately known as 'The Little Master' by his adoring fans.Early Days\nBorn in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) into a middle class family, Tendulkar was named after his family's favorite music director Sachin Dev Burman. He went to Sharadashram Vidyamandir School where he started his cricketing career. He, when in school was involved in a mammoth 664 run partnership in a Harris Shield game with friend and International team mate Vinod Kambli, and in 1988/89 scored 100 not out in his first first-class match, for Bombay against Gujurat. Aged 15 years 232 days, he was then by some distance the youngest player ever to score a century on debut.He played his first international match against Pakistan in Karachi facing up to the likes of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. He scored just 15 runs and was bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made his debut in that match. It was an innings very different from how the rest of his career went. He followed it up with his maiden test fifty a few days later at Faisalabad. However he could not get a century in that series. His One-day International (ODI) debut on December 18 was equally disappointing where he was dismissed without scoring a run again by Waqar Younis. The series was followed by a non-descript tour of New Zealand in which he did not make remarkable contribution. In the tour of England in 1990 he scored his maiden test century but the other scores were not remarkable. It was in the 1991/1992 tour of Australia that he made his mark as a remarkable batsman. He has been man of the match 11 times in test matches and Man of the Series twice, both times in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.His maiden ODI century came on September 9, 1994 against Australia in Sri Lanka at Colombo.He was named by Wisden as one of the Cricketers of the Year 1997 which was the first calendar year in which he scored a 1000 test runs. He repeated the feat in 1999, 2001 and 2002.AchievementsSome remarkable achievements of his career are:\n 4th highest tally of runs in test cricket (10,134) at an outstanding average of 57.25 (highest among those who have scored over 8,500 test runs) as of March 2005\nMost runs (over 13642) and centuries (38) in one-day internationals\nOnly person to have scored over 11,000 ODI runs and over 25 ODI centuries as of April 28, 2005\nHighest ODI batting average among Indian batsmen and among all batsmen who have scored over 7,500 ODI runs (as of April 3, 2005)\nMost Number of Man of the Matches in one-day internationals\nOnly player to have over 100 innings of 50+ runs in ODIs as of April 2005\nMost Number of Runs in World Cup Cricket History\nFirst cricketer to cross 10,000-run mark in ODIs\nHas equalled Sunil Gavaskar's record of 34 test centuries.\nAmong those who have played over 100 test matches, he is the only one with a batting average above 55.\nOnly second Indian to cross 10,000 runs in Test matches.\nHe has the most centuries in ODI cricket against Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. \nHe is the fastest to score 10,000 runs in test cricket history. He holds this record along with Brian Lara. Both of them achieved this feat in 195 innings.\nTo go with this he has 34 hundreds in Test cricket at an average of 57. An average above 50 distinguishes a batsman as an all time great.\nHighest individual score in ODIs amon

Well this born champion has influenced me even!\nHe is so verymuch dedicated to his team that his sincerity is examplry.\nTill today I have never wanted or have even never taken autograph of anyone but I have a great wish to talk to him face2face and have his autograph.\nHe is simply irrressitable!!!!\nHe is an excellent batsman, a perfect blend of hardwork and classic.\nMay Allah bless him always!

Yes Sourav should be included. It was a delibrate decision to end his career. They dont want him in the team. Who the hell are they to play with the career of a great crcketer who successfully served the country for such a long time. This time there was every chance to accomodate him in the team since Yuvraj was back with injury. Even he spoke for Ganguly last day. But they always find enough reasons to exclude him. They fear him. I challange you Chappel and More, if you are in true spirit, give him one chance..a single chance..I bet he will literally strip you and your decisions. But they dont dare to challange. That y they wont allow a single chance to hold his bat. \n\nDravid was praised about the 'courageous' act to open the first test in Pakistan. They dared to send Ganguly as an opener, just because they knew he can score a big one in a flat track. This is really bad. This is no sports...no spirit... This is the worst politics i ever witnessed in Indian cricket. \n\nDear Mr. Chappel, you try out every possible ways to close him..But he will get that chance..not to prove(he already proved) but to blast you. Mind you, Sourav is a fighter..He won't stop his career like this. I think u messed up with the wrong person.

he nice & efficient baller \nbut sorry to say..\nchappel is behind him to make him a batsman\n     due to that his efficiency is just diminishing.....\nwhich can be seen now...............
