Definitely for the SA tour they could have taken a different approach in view of the world cup.\nWe know the ability and performance of the above players who are not consistent recently. So there was an obligation to test the ability of the other players who are not in the team now as well as new talents. \nSo in the SA tour itself these players could have been avoided and Ganguly, Dineshkarthik, Yograj Singh, Badarinath, Rohit Sarma, YMahesh and let the above players to perform in the coming domestic matches...\nHowever the people who have the right to take decision are thinking some other way...They are not thinking the others are also Indians and they will get chance for India only...\n\nSo some of the poor guys may follow \nKP Bhasker, former Delhi captain who was the most prominent, had an average of 70+ for continous 5 years in domestic cricket never got an entry to the national team only because of our poor selection strategy. \nor\nsome may get a chance at their olden age like Robin Singh has been selected.\n\nSo itz their choice, If the nation wins or looses that makes no difference for them.They are their to rule, control and fool us...

By all means,Zaheer Khan should be back in the Indian team.The squad should be as follows \n\nOne-Dayers:\nSehwag[vice-captain],Sachin,Dravid[captain],Ganguly,Yuvraj,Kaif,Dhoni,Kumble,Harbhajan,Pathan,Zaheer,Sreesanth,Aashish Nehra,Munaf,Raina,Lakshman.\nThe above squad can be retained for the tests also.\n\nIt is unfair deal for Ganguly,Lakshman & Kumble.They should not have been dropped for the one-day squad in the recent past.Ganguly is a world class player & has a enviable record in the one-dayer,he is only next to Sachin considering the no of centuries in the one dayers.Laksman's performance was great in the one dayers.The selectors should feel ashamed to drop the player like Kumble[hope everyone know the reason].I also feel bad for Zaheer Khan who has lost his place in both the forms of the game.He was a wonderful strike bowler with Pathan,has played an excellent role in the Ranji matches in India in the recent past & is playing very well for the English county Worcestershire.I want Agarkar & Powar to be not just removed but kicked out of the Indian squad & Zaheer & Kumble can take their places.The above squad should be retained for all the matches[away & home] till the players retire. \n      By considering all these,I feel very bad for the selectors who have & will be selecting the Indian team.

I have observed that most of the batsmen were out to short pitched rising deliveries.  What is the need of the hour is to train the batsmen how to tackle the short pitched rising deliveries.\nAnother point I have observed the matches played so far is that while top order of South African batting failed, lower order rescued the team and posted defendable total, whereas in India's cse after first 6 batsmen are out, rest of the players get out without giving any fight.  India should develop some allrounders for the one day matches like South Africa.\n\nI strongly feel that with proper guidance and training the youngsters will improve and show better performance in future.\n\nWhile a whitewash is a distinct possibility, I hope India will try their best to atleast win the last match to redeem some lost prestige.

as of now it may seem that its going great, but with the lack of senior players n expertise, they r not gonna get too far... young talent is a must but the real test will be when they play outside the subcontinent n on some real bouncy tracks... the management shud realise the urgency of experienced players in the team... else in the long run, its not gonna get far..

There are a number of exciting players around, but the few that could have a big impact, especially with the smaller grounds in the Caribbean, are:\n\nYuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina (as a young prospect), Kevin Pietersen, Chris Gayle, Afridi.\n\nIn terms of bowlers & all rounders, expect Murali, Dwayne Bravo and Andrew Symonds to play big parts for their teams.\n\nWe could all say Lara, Tendulkar & Ponting, but it would be great to see some of these other players performing.

Seemingly no! Batting is the main worry. If it clicks India stands a chance or it will be a complete whitewash.

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.

NOW IT IS GOOD TIME FOR GREG CHAPPEL AND RAHUL DRAVID TO LEAVE THE SEAT OF COACH AND CAPTAIN RESPECTIVELY.  THE MORALE OF ALL PLAYERS IS DOWN BECAUSE OF THESE TWO PERSONS.  ANY YOUNG PLAYER SHOULD BE GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CAPTAIN.  COACH SHOULD BE INDIAN WITH WHOM OUR PLAYER DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS FRANKLY.

Its good to have laxman and kumble back. They are only players who make the difference. Anyway it is difficult to beat West Indies when Brain Lara is the captain, he plays with the mind. But as laxman and kumble are there India wont be humiliated but what can only 2 player do. They cant make them win but only help in a draw, as Indian captain rahul dravid will definetly fail.

By luck it is possible, If you evaluate current Indian team performance played in Champions trophy, we need to go long way. The way Indian team played in Champions Trophy, I think a big challenge in-front of coach Greg Chappel. \nVirender Shewag- Out of form and forget to play his natural game, he can do better as an optional opening batsman, Gautam Ghambhir is in form, Rotate both openers in every w/c match.\nSachin Tendulakar- Playing always under pressure to maintain his stand and popularity. He cannot score enough runs,he has to get out from his top class players frame of mind,\nRahul Dravid- A dependable captain and good player, he will score in w/c\nYuvraj Singh - I think he will bounce back with his form, no pressure on him.\nSuresh Raina - Too young to handle world cup pressure. Better to choose Sourav Ganguly.\nM.S.Dhoni - OK , he is all rounder, he can keep wickets and score at least few runs,\nIrfan Pathan - OK, he can do with bat at lower order and as bowler he has to do the main job.\nSreesanth- A good fast bowler, let him work on his plans and give a fair chance to maintain his stand in the team.\nHarbhajan Singh- OK, he is good bowler and handy lower order batsman.\nRamesh Power- I think we should go with Anil Kumble,\nMohd Kaif- A good fielder, out of form batsman, need to rotate with VVS Laxman.\nMunaf Patel- Munaf or Zaheer Khan
