if the indian side developes more confidence in the mind set, the winner will be India. Other wise it will be Australia x South Africa Finals and Australia will be victorious.

India has the potential to win it.What worries me is that they also had their opportunities in 1996 & 2003 & negative frame of mind cost them.On both occassions they won the toss & opted to field simply because they thought the opposition were better chasers.The more relevant factors were ignored.They will need to knock the Australians & the South Africans over(something they are capable of) rather than hope for a slip-up.

ICC is definitely unjust to Indian team. Similar instances took place in the past also. Hope people remember the episode which happened in South Africa 5 years ago when Shewag was banned from playing a test match for excessive appealing.  Similar ban was Given for Sourav Ganguly on various occasions. But such a thing is never heard for Australian or English players. Still Cricket keep the Colonial traditions were Indians are considered inferior to others. BCCI should react strongly to such incidents and show ICC a lesson. Without  Indian money , how can they survive? They should remember that Test matches in India are still played in front of full galleries. Who can except such a situation in England, West indies or New zealand?

The just concluded one day series in which SA beat Australia (3-2) in which Australai scored 434/4 in teh first innings and then SA replied with 438-9 (Hershelle Gibbs 175, Graeme Smith 90).\n\nThis makes both innings #2 and #1 respectovely beating teh previous high scoring match between Sri Lanka and Kenya, in which Sri Lanka scored 398-5 in the 1996 world cup.

this is the most professional combo of captain-coach in history of indian cricket. but there is no good team to back them up. so the whole team has to be blamed if they lose, not only dravid-chappell

ahem YES....and to the person who feels India does not win each and every match, that's impossible for any team. Besides the only matches which India have lost in recent past have been ones which they lost because of experimenting with players. the matches they lost to England, srilanka and Pakistan were all experiments. heck i don't even know why were they trying to experiment with the first match in Dubai. their form can be reflected that they were pretty even with south Africa and broke their streak at a time when they were experimenting with a bunch of youngsters and saurav ganguli was creating a lot of rift from outside.

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...

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.

The first person is talking nonsense.BCCI is not free to do whatever it likes on it's home soil.the ICC will never allow tampering with the pitches.Besides the umpires are of the ICC Elite Panel so why will they be influenced by the BCCI.Also the match referee is always a foreigner like Mike Procter or Ranjan Madugalle.Why will they get influenced by the BCCI?As regards India's loss get a life people.This is sport,you win some and you lose some.We lost because we did not play well so we will improve our game and bounce back.You yourself are saying that some time back we were playing so well so trust me we will play well once again.Losing one series is not the end of the world.

well I agree with you but again it was too close and since the rules of the games are not as close as rules in  cricket therefore, Korea took the advantage and equalize the game . Bad luck for French team and their fans !

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...
