ITS HAPPENING FOR LONG TIME.\nICC NEVER RESPECT SUB-CONTINENT CRICKET BOARDS.\nCOZ, THE BOARDS HAVE NOT FUNCTIONING UNITEDLY.\n\nIF A PAKISTANI FINED OR PUNISHED, INDIANS TREAT THAT A HAPPY ONE.\nSO DOES PAKISTANIS.\n\nWE MUST RECTIFY OUR PERSONAL VENDETTAS AND FIGHT AGAINST THESE UN JUSTICE THINGS.\n\nWILL WE DO THAT?

I think dhoni must open the innings with his swash buckling shots.As at present in our team we dont have a good opening start and thatz the reason y we had failed in the recent odi series with west indies.If sent opens the innings along with Sehwag then noone can stop India from making huge scores.I think the Indian team is not utilizing his talent properly.

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...

no it is just that the indian team in cricket is better than any other indian team in another sport \nif india had to enter the world cup of football and win it then may be football can overshadow cricket in india\njust as tennis is being popular because SANIA MIRZA is the only indian woman to have seeded higher

i think it definitely was a fighting match ... and had indian tail wagged a bit longer and scored 20 more runs the result would have been the opposite! \nbut this match showcases that its is going to be an exciting series !\njai hind !

Today's bad phase cannot be considered as end of Indian Cricket.  India will defenitely come out of the present bad form and come back strongly in the world cup 2007.

No, I dont think so because India still need a genuine fast bowler wo can bowls 93 or 95 miles/hour because now cricket trend has changed. Time has gone when Pollock, Vaas and Streak were known as FAST bowlers.Now they are MEDIUM PACERS. With the cricket appearence of Shoaib Akhtar, Brett Lee, Mohammad Sami, Shame Bond, Steve Harmmison, Makhaya Ntini and Dilhara Fernando, a new fast bowling trend has emerged on cricket scene. Idia need that potential in bowling.\nAnother reason is that all recent victories India get by chasing. This shows that Indian bowling still dont have depth to contain the other team. Inia has performed well within subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Srilanka and Bangladesh) outside subcontinent its performance is not that impressive. West Indies always has bouncey wicket which helps bowlers, so india need to biuld up their bowling attack.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.\n\nIT MUST BE FAMILIORIZED. IT CAN BE CONDUCTED IN ODI FORMAT AND EVERY TEAM SHOULD BE GIVEN MORE CHANCES TO PLAY.\n\nABOVE ALL NO PARTIALITY SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED.

EVERTONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINION.\n\nFOR ME, LIVE CRICKET IS 100% WORTHY TO TV TELECAST.\n\nBUT, AFTER 10 OR 15 YEARS THE TREND MAY CHANGE.\n\nI FEAR  PEOPLE  FED-UP WITH CRICKET SLOWLY.

Ur right, west indies might end up winning. I think India came into this tour under estimating Windies. N as much as it was Zimbabwe, a winning habit is good n one which west indies have benefited from. India should watch out. plus Lara is doing a better job 3rd time asking.

yeah u can say this defetes are shameless defetes.last 4 series India didnt play well. dravid is oki. he tried with this team to win. but this team is not perfect. young players played well in some matches. but now this is proved that they r not prepared to play in this highest lavel of cricket. team selectors have to think more about the young players. they need to bring back players like Shourav Ganguly, Laxman, Nehra. Chappal should resign. He isnt the perfect man for India. He is a gud coach. But he is not appropriate for this team. His methods r unique but not useful. So kick him out. Vensarkar & pawar has to attend this matter. Dont go for money, think for ur team. Dont do POLITICS with Indian Cricket.

Never. I think India is getting the right practice for the success in the world cup !

I think the team and the management people should concentrate more on the game and the strategies to win...including a good batting line-up, bowlers and plzzzz...teach them how to field...coz this is one of their negative aspects....to be honest, there's nothing much we fans could do...it really depends upon the entire team to play with all their abilities...as it's still not too late..they can do it...IF..they want to..which is a 'BIG QUESTION MARK??'!!

No. \n\nBut some dude mentioned cricket. I'm sorry but outside of India who cares about cricket? (OK so Australia is big on cricket and so is England, but really.) Funny but I can't find India anywhere near this year's World Cup tournament unless they're there taking notes.  Has India ever qualified for a World Cup Tournament? Do you guys even have a team? Wow! I guess you do! India is currently ranked 117th in the world out of 208 countries.  The only time that India qualified for a World Cup was in 1950--and that's because their scheduled opponents had to withdraw so they qualified by default.  So how did this soccer power dynamo do in the 1950 tournament?  I'm so glad you asked.  Several of their players refused to wear soccer boot/shoes (I guess shoes were not required in their soccer leagues, I don't know.)  So they withdrew from the World Cup.  Talk about sucking! Ooh but watch out for that Indian cricket team, they just beat Sri Lanka, Singapore, Pakistan, and Andorra.  Yes those very bastions of world sports. Yes, those world sports super powers.\n\nAs long as there is no big money to be made in American soccer, it will always lag behind the big three, NFL, NBA, and MLB.  The NHL is not as popular but it's more popular than soccer.  So while the rest of planet Earth waits for the World Cup final on 07/09/2006, most Americans will be counting down the days for the next episode of The Sopranos or American Idol!
