what is the reason  for the downfall of Indian cricket team?
956373
because indian doesn't play for team, they anly play for themself.\nthere is no team sprit in the team. they are not consistant .\nif few of players get success in a match then india will win iff all of them got fail then india loose that match.

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!!!!

Dude.......\nThey have a national team but.........\n1)Out of 1 billion population, not even 10% of the population is interested in football.\n2)They like only Cricket\n3)The government is also not interested in this game of football\n4) There is no initiative from the Indian side.\n\nThus, though  India forms a national team it will be of no use.

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

The problem lies with BCCI and its selection committee. Wrong selection of players and inability to develop players for fast, bouncy foreign pitches. Poor performance of Dravid as a captain.

They play too much cricket when compared to other teams in the world. One more main issue is that cricket is not just a game in India, its a religion. People see players as their role models, so if the cricketers fail they face severe criticism. That's the reason they are under lot of pressure.

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...

HE REPEATEDLY FAILED.\nWHEN A CAPTAIN,WHO BATS IN OPENING SLOT SHOULD NOT BE IN POOR FORM.\nSO HE WAS REMOVED.\nBUT I CANT DENY ANY POLITICS INVOLVED IN IT.

IF INDIA CAN MANAGE A DRAWN TEST SERIES AND CLOSE FOUGHT DEFEAT WOULD BE RATED AS SUCCESS.\n\nBUT..\n\nINDIA WOULD LOOSE...THE TOUR.

you are correct! captaincy should be changed!\n\nonly 3 players an be retained : Dhoni,Kumble, and Zaheer Khan\nplayer who can be considered :Tendulkar, harbhanjan and Dravid\n\nrest :Shewag ,Kaif ,pathan,Mongia,Kharthik,Jaffer,Agarkar,Raina\nshould be dropped forever!!\n\nthey had lot of chances or they are not suitable for one days!!\n\nYuvraj and gaugu ly can come back for their experience!\n\nShould introduce fresh batsman fast bowler and spinner!\n\nIf even after that we fail , we  know that we move upwards otherwise India wont improve

mainly because of media. media has given so much importance to cricket .no other sport in india get better coverage than cricket. also it is the only in which india stands firm with rest of the world unlike football and hockey in  which indian team is far behind than rest of the world

NOW THE INDIAN TEAM BEING IN THE LIME LIGHT.\nIT IS IN OVER-CONFIDENCE NOW.\nSOME MAY SAY THE MORAL IS HIGH.\nBUT THESE VICTORIES CAME IN SUB-CONTINENT.\nMOSTLY IN INDIAN SOIL.\nIN THE OTHER HAND, WEST INDIES SUFFERED SERIAL DEFEATS.\nBUT THEY PLAYED IN ABROAD.IN BOUNCY PITCHES.\nEVEN THOUGH THEY TASTED THE DEFEAT THEY ARE NOW HAVE GOOD PRACTICE AGAINST DEADLY PACE ATTACK.\nMORE OVER WINDIES ARE GOING PLAY IN HOME SOIL.\nSURELY THE INDIANS GOING TO FACE DEFEATS.\nLARA, C'PAUL WILL BE BIG MENACE TO INDIANS.\nAND ALSO FEARSOME PACE ATTACK AWAITS FOR DHONIS AND YUVRAJS.

No. India is missing one spinner. This pitch is turning as a spin wicket in last days. So it was not a wise decision

It is absolutely not a good way. He was humiliated by Kiran More and the other members of the team management. Its shameful how politics affects cricket in India. Sourav Ganguly is the poor victim of the whole political drama. Im not saying he is 100% innocent but it was still unjust to remove him like that.
