    I am seriously dissappointed at the pathetic performance of the Indian Cricket Team. Why cant they ever be reasonable in performance ??

    Dravid seems to be a reactive captain rather than pro-active and i seriously think that we need to look at the future and ask the non-performing oldies to go home and take a full-time break - just leave the stage for young ones to perform.

    How many of you think that Dravid as a captain is hopeless and cannot inspire the team on big occassions and crucial matches ??

    Moreover - he should be awarded for choosing to field first against bangladesh on a pitch that the whole world thought to be good to bat second on.

    In crunch Matches or must win matches we always won batting first only

    Do you remeber 1999 world cup where we had to win 3 straight matches and in all those matches we batted first!

    and also in 2003 world cup Ganguly's Poor captaincy cost us the WC as we always one with Australia playing first only!

    and now is another match the list goes on!

    This is truly fkuin insane....such a strong batting line up cannot get 250 on a batting pitch...and of course no one of these super stars will get penalized for this horrific performance
    SINCE WHEN HAVE WE HEARD THAT YOU ARE F****** PREPARING FOR THE DAMM WORLD CUP U FILTHY GAMBLER GREG CHAPPEL? For the last 2 years youve been harping on future and plans? Your plans have come to a halt now. Our team has been disgraced beyond belief. The bangladesi team with their coach whatmore were celebrating in the stadium laughing at the over paid over hyped incompetent old indian players. And that captain is a complete wuss. dravid teri ma ki ankh. Ganguly had courage even if he was half the player you are. He communicated well with the team...defeat to him was unacceptable...he took us to the finals and you have brought us to the lowest level ever.
    Resign like INzy you pussy...you are a batsman not a captain

    Nobody has mentioned Tendulkar out for a duck ... don't you think he carries some of the responsibility for India's poor showing? - a batsman of that quality....

    Any of those who were hoping for a miracle win for bermuda - its all over !!

    There are a few news doing the rounds that Sachin might me made captain - well does that change anything ?

    He has never been a good leader - and to promote him as captain after that ZERO in the crucial match gives the wrong signals...

    I think we need fresh leadership in Yuvraj - if we are to bank on sachin, dravid and sehwag again - its going to be still lower standards for the team.

    Indian team really let the nation down. We can only hope to improve from now on. Our team consists of a bunch of ad models how can we expect the, to play a game like cricket which they barely do when they don't have any shooting agreement.:D
    Heard Greg Chapel is going to be sacked

    100% sure that we lost it because of Dravid's Unaggressive and dull captaincy
    We need captain like Ganguly or Yuvraj

    It reminded me " Comedy of Errors"
    > Rahul's captaincy,
    > Team Selection
    > Wired Batting Orders
    > Elimination of Anil Kumble (Most # of wicket takes for India) in Crunch Matches
    > Winning toss and wrong decisions


    So collectively everything cost !!!
