This achievement is a result of the joint effort by all of above, all really wants to keep their role best in this.\nVengsarkar being new in this team deserves less ( eventhough inclusion of Jaffer, a big blunder)- \n\nWhat this Chappal & Dravid handle with our team, nobody understand.Their selection of final XI batting / bowling changes in each matches, nobody can digest.\n\nLet us look about the recent stories.\nAfter the continous failure of batsmen they never tried to shruffle the batting order according to their ability. They says to have done experiment with Pathan at no.3, that is not much a hilarious idea. Many punch hitters have been sent to these positions and been succesful for all teams. Even Chetan Sharma scored a century at no.3. So sending as Pathan as a punch hitter according to circumstances we can admit, but how we can consider him as a top order batsman..?\nThey never tried Dhoni at no.2 or 3, who can stay around and also go for big hits after being settled. Insted of Pathan they could have tested Dhoni Yuvraj or even Raina as one more chance. Since middle order batting collapsed worstly, Dravid had to get down upto no.5 or 6 followed by Sehwag.\n\nIn DLF cup Sreesanth was called back & he bowled well against WIndies & the next match he has been dropped.\nAgain in SA, Pathan & Sreesanth was included in the 1st match.After the match has been abandoned without a ball being bowled for the second match surprisingly both were omitted. At least 3-4 continous chance should be given for a player to evaluate his performance.\n\nWhat way these guys are thinking, nobody knows. Then Y this consideration is not giving to substitute batsman for long time in place of Raina or Kaif.\n\nOn recent performance of Indian team, a rotation base experiment of players, ( as Australia did before & hence became the best) since we have numerous young talents as well as experienced ones.\n\nThe present Indian team is not bad, but the utilization of it is important. When they R replacing Sehwag it should be DKarthick who was succesful in one day games than Jaffer at domestic matches, and also a better competitor.\n\nBowling we have all are almost at same range, but in SA type of wickets it is better if they go for Saheer,Munaf, Sreesanth,Pathan & Kumble ahead of Agarkar & Harbajan.\n\nHowever let us hope for the best in coming days...

Hello Friend! \nIndia won't win. It will be Australia or West Indies. Any one of the above two teams will be in the final.

Although Tendulkar is far from his best he is definitely not over. Shewag is still dangerous, but he needs to be dropped once to get him some sense! Dravid is still the best Indian batsman. Yuvraj is too good not to have in the team. Kaif is a solid player, he will be the future Dravid, If only they let him play enough! Raina has not impressed me enough. Irfan should be kept as a bowler only. Please stop sending him 1 down!

"THEY" TRY TO HIGH-LIGHT PATHAN AS A MATCH WINNER.\n\nSO "THEY" CREATING AN IMAGE THAT IF PATHAN NOT PERFORMED WELL INDIA WILL LOOSE.\n\nYOU CAN FIND MY POINT TRUE IN ONCOMING MATCHES.\n\nIF HE GET MORE WIC. INDIA WILL WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately the performance of the Indian Team is very pathetic of late.   The present situation calls for drastic and harsh action from the Cricket Board.  I strongly feel that as a first step to improve the performance, payment to the players should be linked to their performance instead of graded system presently in force.  Once this is done, players will be forced to leave their complacency and try hard to earn their money by performing better, which ultimately turn around fortune of Indian Team

being an indian i am a big australian team fan\nbut even i thought that they must be punished but then i thought that it was their first win in the trophy and it was un-intentional\nthey were very desperate of winning the trophy\nand sharad pawar deserved it cause he has been accused of being involved in telgi scam....................

West indies will win, they are under new, inspired management(Lara).. india might win the next match but for me WI are strong favourites in the last 2 ODI's in trinidad!

they are not the  best team but they are better than other team and they have the ability to fight till last..their 5 fast bowlers is an advantage....they are not best as they are losing some matches too and are not scoring very good score every match...

They are not the best at the moment. They were good in the past when they had some scary fast bowlers like Ambrose, Holding etc. Now they have good players but they lack experience.

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.

First of all, I don't agree with Raja! West Indies has not won any major tournaments or a major series so far. So West Indies Team Management will not go for such a decession as the World Cup is near. Cricket has not much popularity as Base Ball and Basket Ball has in West Indies. West Indies is trying to regain its popularity in Cricket. \n\nThen about Indian Team, if India is losing the series by 3 - 2, India will loose its third place to Pakistan. So, I don't think either West Indies or India will do such a decission.\n\nMoreover, this is Cricket. Yyou can't expect the result as in Soccer. If India and Brazil is playing in Soccer, we can easily say Brazil will clinch the match. But, for Cricket, for some extend we can't say anything.\n\nAnyhow I hope India will come back in the Third One Day, learing from the lessons of 2nd One Day International

Irfan, the team's bowling fails, and a bit of the batting structure is deframed too! (lower middle order)
