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.

I wonder who is the idiot who selected such a Big Idiot like More for such a respected post. More's contribution and experience of Cricket is very little considering many others. He only played very less ODI, without having a 50 in his career, averaging sheer 13.09, and around 500 total runs. In test he played less than 50 matches. This is the experience of the SELECTION COMMIEE CHAIRMAN of Indian cricket. He don't even deserves to speak about abilities of a Ranji Player. Let's pray to throw out these type of national wastes who are clinching in much respected positions.

The point given by the Team management and the Coach is India need 5 Bowlers, 3 spinners and 2 Fast Bowlers it not OKay.\n\nKaif Should be in the Team at any cost in the Test Team for the Reasons mentioned below :\n\n1.   He is a Excellent Fielder, and no one can just match him in that case.\n2.   He is a very intelligent sharp and a very quick learner.\n3.   He is a very good Athelet, and he is very quick in running between the wicket.\n4.   When the Indians lost too many wicketes in the 1st Innings at Nagpur, he was the one with the company of our Leader The wall Rahul Dravid who took the Initiative and took the Indian team out of trouble, Great knock and Great Attitude and character shown, well done Kaif.\n5.   It is not OK to include Piyush Chawla now straight away instead of the much experienced Mohammed Kaif, because already we have Kumble and Harbhajan as genuine Spinners and then we have the Tendulkar, Sehwag, Yuvraj who can also spin the ball and contribute to the Indian Team.\n6.   When things are going very well for the Indian Team, then Kaif forms a very good partner at the other end with any batsmen i.e. Tendulkar, Dravid, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Sehwag or any body else.\n7.   If given more chances then Kaif would prove himself that he can win more and more matches for his Indian team.\n8.   It is the form that matters the most than any other factor in a particular series, and it is the right time that Kaif is playing well and he definetly deserves a right place in the Indian Team in the present Scenario.\n9.   I would ask everybody to think of the same Indian team which is playing in the 2nd Test at Mohali but for the one change which should be in the team is that instead of Piyush Chawla - Mohammed Kaif should be playing the Match, that is it! Simple.\n10.  Because Piyush Chawla is so young and he can get a chance whenever in the future or we can try him in the ODI's since we are having enough 7 ODI's after the Test Series.

The Indians are not angels either. They may not be rude but I dont expect many of their players to be sensitive. Saurav turned up late for a toss and he turned up in his track suit rather than in his  official blue blazer. Harbhajan has had numerous infractions too. What about Asish Nehra, Zaheer Khan ? So the point is we are all human . It is basic human courtesy to oblige and be nice. In my opinion, I think the Indians should give what they get on the field. If the Aussies are rude to them on the field, its always good to give it back to the "mate" on the field. If they are nice, there is no question why the Indians should  misbehave. Now the Indians will be making a huge mistake if they retaliate to the Pawar issue. Rahul as a leader is way ahead with his mental maturity so he should be doing good leading his bunch.

He deserves a place in the team as a player but he should not be picked by SA board because of the match fixing acceptance. ICC should look into the matter and impress upon SA board to take action as per ICC rules.

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.

I am surprised to note that all people are asking for the head of the Coach for the poor performance of Indian Team and no one is blaming the players.   If the players do not perform to their potential even if God comes as Coach of Indian Team, things will not change.\n\nDo people demand for the head of Coach think that players like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid need the coaching.  If such players having vast experience in international cricket having played in all surfaces cannot bat through 20 or 30 overs, can their failure be attributed to the coach.\n\nI strongly feel that the fault lies with the players for their non performance and they should be made accountable for their failure rather than blaming anybody else.

i think new young talent is not the problem..of'course u wont want to hv many 30+ players in the team...prob. arises of the fact that what position these young players hv in d team...and 'coz of the fact that our team is doin' just about PERFECT in the ODI's it would be fair to say that dravid and chappell are doin a gr8 job..\n\nchappell promised of producin or rather developing all-rounders in our team last year....and u hv the results of his work in the form of irfan pathan and Dhoni'....batting positions are so very flexible in the team now and u can easily find players fittin into diff. postns. as the match demands...and until we keep on playin the same way as we r rite now i dun think thr shud be any need to question them..\n\nbut i BET to say these positive experiments would NEVER hv taken place if v had ganguly as d skipper...he hated experimenting and u wud nvr hv imagined 'Pathan' as an all rounder during his times...

ALLOW VERENDER SEHWAG AND MS DHONI TO PLAY FIRST 15 OVERS AND LAST 5 OVERS COMPULSORY.\nDON'T GIVE THEM OUT IN THESE OVERS.

I was going through some of the other answers submitted earlier and found them to be fairly rib tickling. Hats off to those ladies / gentlemen for their great sense of (black) humour. \nAs BCCI is under contractual obligation to retain Chappell till World Cup 2007, he can not be removed prior to that. Though his removal would be in order for the sake of better performance. BCCI can at least put his acts under a scanner and not let him have free rein. Some of his recent decisions not only appeared inexplicable to many but plain stupid and devoid of any cricketing sense.\nPlayers who can both bat and bowl reasonably well should be given a chance, though not at the expense of successful specialists. Australia has shown the invaluable contribution of such players in the side.\nFielding has improved, but is still nowhere near world standards. More and more players are finding themselves on the injury list. Wonder, what our imported fielding and fitness specialists are doing out there! \nA bowling coach is most urgently required for plugging the gaping holes in the Indian team. Pathan spearheads the side's bowling attack. He or any other strike bowler must not be burdened with the additional responsibility of batting at number three, except in exceptional circumstances.\nSachin has been a consistent non performer in recent times. If he fails in the West Indies and the other fixtures scheduled before the World Cup, it would be sensible to drop him from the World Cup bound squad, however audacious the idea might appear. BCCI can hardly be expected to be that bold, though.\nThe side is full of new comers and youngsters, who arrived to constitute the next gen team. Sadly, many of them have not performed upto expectations. The objective right now is winning the cup and not experimenting with a view to building the future team. Tried and tested veterans should be included in place of non performing youngsters. The never-say-die Laxman boasts of a good domestic performance. And the doughty Ganguly, India's most successful skipper ever and one of the side's most prolific scorers in the past, is showing signs of a turn around and return to form, with a well scored century in the Duleep Trophy. BCCI should seriously think of including them in order to enrich the team with such highly experienced performing campaigners. Of course Chappell and Dravid will have to swallow their pride for that.

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?

He has been favouring the whites so he can still be a good Umpire at this Home place.\n\nBut at international he has been found cheating serval times like with Srilanka, India and recently with Pakistan... He deserves to be kicked.\nI dont understand why was this not done before when he has pointed Fingers on Murli and Harbhajan..
